entourage returns tonight along with the premiere of true blood some vampire drama from the creator of six feet under.

Thanks to a Japanese scientist’s invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures “coming out of the coffin.” Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out. Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. “Cursed” with the ability to listen in on people’s thoughts, she’s also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill’s arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.

in fact its quite a day for the couch bound with tennis and football among other baubles.

more wackiness from the gang at msnbc. matthews decided to grow a pair of hardballs. eyeing that senate seat on pennsylvania seems to have done him some good. although it just might be that he off his meds.

I guess I missed the 9/11 highlights reel. It's their favorite day in the whole world.


Calling them bloodsucking motherfuckers would be an insult to perverted vampires the world over.

Big Media Matt lives up to his name with an op-ed (rebuttal?) in the WaPo. Perfectly stated I think.

But is it in the print edition or just on line?

randy dunn "stop the madness!"

"No one would argue that Mad Men’s producers should spend as much time or money on the closing credits as they did on the opening credits. And it’s not like they necessarily had to choose a font that existed by 1962. (The font in the opening credits looks like Trade Gothic Condensed or a similar classic gothic, but it may well be a modern cut.) My point is, it wouldn’t be hard to choose Helvetica or Futura or even EF Windsor Light Condensed from the drop-down font list in whatever program is used to create the closing credits."
