"That's because "Arrested Development" is trying to reinvent the rules of the half-hour comedy. The show trades the laugh track, multiple cameras and over-lighted stage sets that have characterized sitcoms from "I Love Lucy" to "King of Queens" for the hand-held single camera, natural light, heavily scored soundtrack and voice-over narration of a pseudo-documentary like "The Real World." It's very much a post-reality-show sitcom, capitalizing on the influence of the fledgling genre and translating its conventions into a new kind of comedy — broadly drawn but presented utterly deadpan."

"The New York Yankees baseball club will announce soon that it plans to build a new ballpark across the street from the current Yankee stadium, which would be torn down, according to Crain's New York Web site.
Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion, Jr., tells NewsChannel 4 the deal is not yet 100 percent complete on City Hall's end of things, but that he expects an announcement in mid-August.
A spokesman for Mayor Mike Bloomberg reassured taxpayers Thursday that they won't be paying for the new stadium, saying it will have to be built completely with private money. And if there is accompanying city investment in infrastructure, it would have to pay for itself so "it wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime.""

cokie roberts just said that fahrenheit 9/11 would lose democrats votes because people dont like michael moore. asked if she saw the movie, she said it didnt matter, which chris matthews interpreted as no. he said he felt the same way as she had until he saw the movie. so he liked the movie and thought it might have an impact on the race but that didnt stop him from labeling it propaganda at another point earlier in the show. and i dont have a problem with him calling it propaganda except that people generally equate propaganda with lying. so he cant think it was effective but untruthful, otherwise he would debunk the movie. so, his use of "propaganda" was deceptive or willfully ignorant.
