My favorite thing about Breaking Bad is the fact that, after making 100's of 1000's in drug money, Walt still drives that Pontiac Aztek.

To critics of "The Killing": if all your questions had been answered, & there was no season 2, simply "The End," would that make you happy?

Saw a promo for 'Real Housewives of Miami' last night, and wondered why they don't just call those shows 'Six More Rich Bitches.'

“We’re looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn’t be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it’s appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles.”

“America, the Greatest Country God ever gave Man, was built on three bedrock principles: Freedom. Liberty. And Fear — that someone might take our Freedom and Liberty. But now, there are dark, optimistic forces trying to take away our Fear — forces with salt and pepper hair and way more Emmys than they need. They want to replace our Fear with reason. But never forget — ‘Reason’ is just one letter away from ‘Treason.’ Coincidence? Reasonable people would say it is, but America can’t afford to take that chance.”

The promos for 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' make me want to move away in shame.

Some are complaining Glenn Beck's rally in DC isn't getting "Moon Landing" coverage. Well, some of us simply don't care about Beck. At all.

Fox News: Evil, Stupid, or Backed By Terrorists?

Jon Stewart lays naked the hypocrisy of Fox News. This hits so many nails right on the head. And is damn funny to boot.

“This is where the ‘Real Housewives’ franchise comes into play: Instead of needing an actual arrogant boss or nosy neighbor or meddling ex-girlfriend in your life, you can hate the filthy rich, self-involved, surgically sculpted social climbers on your TV screen each week. It’s engaging, it’s cathartic, and no innocent animals get their feelings hurt along the way. In fact, it’s just like high school: You listen to everyone’s self-deluded, vainglorious stories, and then you choose teams.”Heather Havrilesky

Shocking changes at ABC News This Week. The round table is no longer round, it's oval! George Will looks disoriented.

“In March, the host urged his listeners to leave their churches if pastors talked about social or economic justice. Even after prominent clergy from across the faith and ideological spectrum refuted his arguments, Beck has continued his smear campaign by equating social justice with Marxism and Nazism.
Would you support a leader who said Jesus’ teachings can lead to Nazism or who attacks Christian pastors for preaching the full Gospel? Then why do so many Christians tune in to Glenn Beck?”Faith in Public Life

I’m guessing you’ve seen the ads on TV. They are for a product that is an odd jumble of words, the “Amish made heat surge.” During the commercial, we see a lot of men wearing Amish hats, indoors, assembling these electrical devices, which they market as some kind of Amish made fireplace.
Hilarious example one, hilarious example two. They look so real, don’t they? (you can also teach your infant that things which look very hot are actually OK to touch!)
When you step outside the arena of computers and cameras, our home is surprisingly lacking in high tech devices that are common in many homes. We have not even one iPod between the two of us. No PDA’s or iPhones or smart phones or bluetooth ear bugs. We don’t “text message” anyone. No GPS devices or mobile navigation systems. Technologically, we are in many ways virtual Neanderthals.
And, for the most part, we’re fine with it (though I foresee an iPhone or two in our future when our current cell phone contract expires next spring). But Susan had been whining for expressed a wish for a TiVo. And she did it long enough ago that by Christmas morning, she had forgotten about it. So it was a very good gift.
Until I had to set it up.
It’s been a booming year for the comedy industry, already flush from the antics of Spears and Lohan, coffers overflowing with presidential candidates presenting about three dozen individual feet that might get swallowed by a runaway mouth on most any day, with a dollop of some foot-tapping bathroom follies for dessert. Yes, it’s been good times.
I had a dream last night. In this dream, I found out why Osama bin Laden’s beard looks so different in the “new” photo from the upcoming video. He had shaved it off in order to disguise his appearance, but had a false one put on for the video so his “followers” would recognize him. In the video, he revealed the reason he required such drastic disguise measures was because we was now … in America. And preparing to martyr himself.
There’s a guy named Don Draper, creative Director for a Manhattan advertising agency. In his world, everybody smokes, even the doctor when doing a patient exam. People at the agency are drinking by lunchtime. The guy in the art department is gay … and very much in the closet. The rest of the guys are innate chauvinists. The neighborhood divorcée makes all the wives nervous and catty. When Mom sees her little girl playing “astronaut” using the dry cleaning bag as her spacesuit, she gets upset … because she’s worried the girl dirtied Mommy’s freshly cleaned clothes.
On Sunday, Fox News ramped up to Code Red when there was some confusion about a truck at the Port of Miami. From the sound of the talking heads on Fox, you’d think the city was about to explode. But ... it turns out it was a simple “miscommunication,” a language problem, and not anything sinister at all. However, it was good for a couple of hours of fair and balanced ScareTV.
It’s about 11am. I’m working with CNN on in the background, and there’s a “breaking news” flash that a plane flying from London to DC has been diverted to Boston, after three passengers got into a confrontation with the flight crew. That’s the story on CNN and Fox as well, as of about 11:15am.
No, wait, it was just one woman who had an “anxiety attack.”
