The TV world is abuzz with Lou Dobbs' abrupt resignation on his broadcast last night after nearly 30 years at CNN. Everyone is asking "why" this was happening but Dobbs' political bent has been more than slightly apparent for the last several years. We wonder on what basis Dobbs could say CNN has stifled his opinion as it would appear that he has had free reign during his tenure. We also wonder if this move isn't related to his house getting hit by a bullet late last month as his wife and a Dobbs employee stood outside. It would be a shame for him to have left over personal safety issues.

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" on FX at 10pm
---
It's a tough call to go with comedy tonight when you've got both "FlashForward" and "Fringe" on but we feel like making up for last night since Taylor Swift and the gawd-awful CMAs pre-empted "Modern Family". Tonight Woody Harrelson will be on Colbert talking about his movie, The Messenger, which we spotlit a couple weeks ago (we'd also like to revel in the fact that we beat The New Yorker in our coverage of it).

"It's unclear at this point what the intended target was," Sgt. Stephen Jones of the New Jersey State Police told the New York Times yesterday.
Several neighbors said Mr. Dobbs does not allow hunters on his property. Regardless, "everyone around here likes him," said Rocky Russo, who was dressed in camouflage gear and bowhunting for white-tailed deer near Mr. Dobbs's property on Friday. The gunshot, he said, "might have been some idiot taking a shot at a squirrel in a tree. Who knows?"
Yeah, it could be an accident but who says that wasn't something Dobbs thought about?
