It would be an insult to two year olds to compare them with House Republicans.

Re: Fort Hood Shooting [Andy McCarthy]
Jonah's right, we don't want to get ahead of the facts. There's the Fort Dix Six precedent, but there's also Oklahoma City, where people guessed reasonably but guessed wrong.

Once upon a time, every tweet had an actual bird attached. If that bird happened to live in southern Brazil, a region whose rich avian life was long undocumented, chances are good that it was stalked repeatedly — and its tweets, coos and whistles recorded patiently — by William Belton.

Mad About Mad Men
For more than 10 years, the intricate, multiseason narrative TV drama has exercised a dominant cultural sway over well-educated, well-off adults. Just as urbanish professionals in the 1950s could be counted on to collectively coo and argue over the latest Salinger short story, so that set in the 2000s has been most intellectually, emotionally, and aesthetically engaged not by fiction, the theater, or the cinema but by The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Deadwood, The Shield, Big Love.
After watching videos of The Sopranos 13-hour first season, the film critic Vincent Canby discerned that this new genre—owing to its “cohesive dramatic arc,” the quality of its production values and ensemble performances, and the sophistication of its writing—amounted to a “megamovie” rather than merely a tarted-up TV miniseries. And he bestowed on it a fairly exalted pedigree, tracing it not just to Dennis Potter’s English production The Singing Detective (1986) and Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz (1980) but even to Erich von Stroheim’s lost silent masterpiece, the nine-and-a-half-hour Greed (1924).
With his first book, titled "Momofuku," Mr. Chang will take his message to a wider audience. The 303-page book, coming out Oct. 27 and priced at $40, aims to replicate Mr. Chang's natural voice, which means occasional use of the word "like" to punctuate Mr. Chang's thoughts, and liberal use of profanity. Readers are instructed not to "f— it up" when handling a pricey piece of foie gras, for instance. Some of the recipes are likely to be daunting to home cooks—such as one that requires boiling a pig's head ("if there are any hairy patches, dispense with them" with a blowtorch, the recipe directs).
guess that power necklace let you down, joba. not that im watching.
"Right now the typical cable operator uses one analog channel (6 MHz – usually channel 80) for Internet service. That’s ONE PERCENT of the total bandwidth on an analog cable network. Give up a shopping channel and Internet bandwidth could be instantly doubled."
Is that true? Is any of this true?

The intent was to type "log". But something crashed after just "lo". This was followed by "log". Thus, "lol".

30 rock is back. intense tracy morgan (meltdown) interview w/ terry gross
It may get boring, but I’m determined to memorialize the era in the most unproduced and unfiltered means possible. When the history of our time is written, I don’t want to allow future revisionists room for varnish or apologies. The plain fact is that – at the very highest levels of American government – elected Republicans are irresponsible, loony, and dangerous.
Our kids are going to want to know why we couldn’t address global warming, chronic disease, environmental catastrophe and gross inequality. Hopefully this blog will be useful to those looking for explanations.
