Palin’s embarrassingly bad performance with Katie Couric proved two things: 1) Palin is as bad as we all thought. She has no business on a national election ticket, was purely chosen to woo white women to McCain’s side, and our country would be in deep shit if McCain had to vacate the presidency. And 2) [...]

Before Shaun of the Dead there was Spaced. If you haven’t already (incidentally) seen a bootleg of it, here’s your chance to get in the ground floor–well, the American ground floor–of Simon Pegg’s breakthrough tv series: Spaced Set to Invade U.S. Via DVD, Cable | The Underwire from Wired.com Unless you live somewhere in the [...]

Last week’s episode was phenomenal! I was getting worried because this season started out weak, but “Guess What’s Coming for Dinner?” (episode 7 of season 4) is a return to the show’s peak form.

HBO’s most recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher has a slew of great guests. With one notable exception they are all rational and intelligent people…ergo liberal.
