I watched Saving Grace last night because there was nothing else on and I was sorry I did it. Holly Hunter I love you but there should be a better show than this for you - it's morphed into Touched By An Angel with touches of profanity. It looks like there's a lot of stuff tonight (below) but it's actually pretty sparse. I'll have some DVD reviews up soon since that's what I'm really watching,...
TV Junkie: Tuesday
Ann Coulter to Speak at USC for Islamo-Fascism Wingnut Awareness Week
Gearing up for another War on Christmas, combative conservative columnist David Horowitz and the College Republicans are calling out to their hate squad and killing Halloween (not to mention a week of breast cancer awareness month) with what they've dubbed "Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week." Ann Coulter, recently listed as charging a $25,000 speaker fee by the Premiere Speakers Bureau (and now "call for fee") will speak in the name of Islamo-Fascism Awareness tomorrow night at USC....
Dear Mr. Bay, What Planet are You From?
Dear Mr. Bay, I have been waiting for a kick-ass Transformers movie to come out since I was a little kid. I love the Autobots. At one point, I even had plans to marry Optimus Prime, except that he died during one of the Transformers episodes before I had the chance to tell him of my love. When I turned five, I had a Transformers birthday cake. Sometimes I would pretend that my Malibu...

KCAA Sued For Airing Imus Reruns
The tiny radio station in San Bernardino who prides itself on being "an important part of the Inland Empire by offering local news on the hour, seven days a week, produced by local veteran newscasters who live and work in the Inland Empire" are sure getting a lot of attention because of a syndicated talk show host in New York City. AP is reporting that KCAA will be in court with CBS on Tuesday...
One (Black) Man's Opinion re: Don Imus's Comments
Don Imus is an old man. Maybe back in the day he was funny, but he hasn't been funny for as long as I've been aware of him. But he does live in America, and here we have the freedom of speech. Now that Right doesn't mean that people cant call you out on what you say, but it should mean that you shouldn't have to get fired or jailed or killed for saying...
Around the Globe with the Ists
Spring appears to have, er, sprung, at least temporarily, in most of the Ist-i-verse, so naturally, we're all feeling pretty good. (Yes, we know that spring doesn't start till later this month. Just let us enjoy our weather!) And that makes us that much more eager to share all of the nifty things we're up to...
No Backlash for Borat - High Five!
By now much hay has been made over "Borat", both as a box office smash and as a mockumentary in which the innocent bystanders who participated in it were duped and cheated. When Borat opened over a week ago Fox booked it in about 800 theaters nationwide, that's less than one-fourth the number of theaters that "Santa Clause 3" opened in and still Sacha Baron Cohen crushed Tim Allen (Yes! There is a God!)....
Would You Say I Have A Plethora Of New TV Shows?
Jefe : A what? El Guapo : A *plethora*. Jefe : Oh yes, You have a plethora. Tony Plana of Three Amigos “Jefe” fame will be gracing the small screen this evening as the father of the lovely America Ferrera in “Ugly Betty.” ABC’s new addition to the oh-so-coveted Thursday, 8:00pm time slot is an American re-telling of the insanely popular Colombian telenovela, “Betty La Fea.” “Ugly Betty” was born of a Salma Hayek/Touchstone...
How To Apologize As Poorly as you Govern
Hard to believe that the son of a Nazi police chief has a hard time apologizing for being culturally insensitive, but, you know, That's Our Gov'n'ah! Last week it was revealed that the Governator had been caught on tape stereotyping African-Americans, Cubans, and Puerto Ricans in March when he was corrected about the heritage of assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia, who he originally called Cuban. He was corrected, and told that she was Puerto Rican. Either...
AM news: football, budget, neighbors, guns

Bennett's Loose Lips
Former US Secretary of Education William Bennett is in the media hot seat right now. The conservative talk show host made the following statement during a Wednesday broadcast of Morning in America: "[Y]ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."
