"Tonight is the night journalism died," according to Fox News, all because of ABC's big series of broadcasts from inside the White House in which they're basically serving as a megaphone for the administration.
Pam Richter It's that wonderful time again, when separation is started to be created in the MLB standings.
Democracies are such a problem. Sure, they provide a solid basis for capitalist enterprise, grant people greater control of the government and give a nation greater credibility on the world stage.
Hulu has dominated the internet television and movie industry ever since it began, offering a legitimate home for shows that couldn't be shut down by copyright laws.
Pam Richter On Friday morning, sports talk shows across the nation went crazy trying to figure out who was to blame for Thursday night's loss for the Orlando Magic in game four of the NBA finals. Jameer Nelson did play poor defense on Derek Fisher.
It's not too often that an opinions section will have an editorial or contributor that writes only to commend something--I'm pretty sure Morgan has made that point before--but I think that it is well deserved in this case. In my blog entry about the Where the Wild Things Are movie, I totally failed to mention, or focus on if I did mention it, the fact that Dave Eggers wrote it.
America's a wonderful place, isn't it? It's the sort of wonderland where everyone can have opportunities, where paupers can become industrious princes at the tip of their soot-ridden caps.
The information age is over. If you'd like to attend the wake, please wear black and be courteous to the grieving windows, they've been through a lot.

I'll give myself, and the blog, a nice warm welcome back from the busily distracted realm of finals and travels back home (as much as one can consider New Jersey to be a home...) I can't say that I've been overly compelled during this hiatus to put anything online, mainly because the main events that have been swirling around the news sphere have been largely inconsiquential "he said, she said" moments. Did Rep.
Wilco has put their new album up on their site for the world to listen and I, for one, am listening.
Dr. Carlo Strenger is a pretty darn smart guy. A professor at the psychology department of Tel Aviv University, he frequently contributes to The Guardian (a paper that, if you have not noticed, I worship), mostly on the topic of religion and how it pertains to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict.
Typically, I'm the sort of cultural consumer who runs at everything skeptically, is rarely very pleased and finds it almost sinful to consider compromising the complexity of a lengthy, brilliant source material for the sake of introducing it to a wider audience.

According to Ben Bernanke, the king of all things monetary (at least until his term is up, which doesn't make him that much of a king,) the economy should be ready and raring to go come the end of the year! Of course, unemployment will still be low, it'll take a long time for us to step back to where we were and the progress will be dependent on the success of the bailout and stimulus packages.
Supreme Court Justice David Souter is leaving his position at the end of his current term, leaving President Obama with that always-difficult decision of nominating a succesor.
