Is it really any surprise that this gas-tax-holiday scheme is being panned by economists?
That’s another Hillary staffer canned (if she knows what’s good for her, which she clearly doesn’t).
A gassy idea
There’s a fire, sir
A&E remade The Andromeda Strain as a two-part miniseries. Perhaps “reimagined” is a better term— it’s completely different from both the book and the 1971 movie, both of which are excellent.
The miniseries was, on the other hand, quite terrible. Not that I was expecting much, but still.
Suck it, monkeys!
After one disappointing episode and one pretty-good episode, I’m happy to report that 30 Rock is back! (And back with a hilarious vengeance.)
(Also, Scrubs can’t pronounce porphyria. It’s por-FEER-ee-uh, not por-fuh-REE-uh.)
Bugger off! (it seems to say)
Have twenty-eight seconds for a chuckle? Check out this gizmo, which almost seems to have a personality.
Well, it’s no Daily Show…
Another bit of casting news from Oliver Stone’s W.— Rob Corddry as Ari Fleischer.
Inspired! Inspired, I say!
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
I really dislike you, Mo Dowd. But you’re kinda right.
But this is clearly a man who can’t wait to get back to his organic scrambled egg whites. That was made plain with his cri de coeur at the Glider Diner in Scranton when a reporter asked him about Jimmy Carter and Hamas.
“Why†he pleaded, sounding a bit, dare we say, bitter, “can’t I just eat my waffle?â€
His subtext was obvious: Why can’t I just be president? Why do I have to keep eating these gooey waffles and answering these gotcha questions and debating this gonzo woman?
Sadly, a 9.6% margin (with 94% reporting) doesn’t change much. Certainly not the delegate count margin.
To say the least
I like the quip from the end of an AP article:
To win [the nomination], she needs to convince voters that Obama is not electable in November even though he’s ahead in the delegate race.
She needs a big influx of cash.
She needs a shocking change of fortune.
PA for BHO
Fingers crossed for a single-digit margin, which should be easily negated by North Carolina.
I’ll tell you one thing, though— I am not looking forward to Hillary’s “victory” speech. Chances of her facing reality seem slim to none.
Update:
My Facebook homepage, which lists recent status updates, amused me:
Sticking it to the cameraman
“We love distraction,” he said, reading from a speech the [National Association of Broadcasters] organizers reportedly tried to talk him out of giving. “I don’t know about you, but show me a starlet without panties getting out of a car, and suddenly the world seems like a better place. Show me ‘Knight Rider’ drunk on the floor eating a hamburger, and I won’t ask why my kid has no health insurance. Let’s stop burdening people with facts.”
Also, a million-frame-per-second camera? Get that thing to the Mythbusters, stat!
207 hours so far
What do I listen to while I’m at work? Well, funny you should ask…
Why did I do this? No idea. And please note that the play counts are solely from listening at work, and I’ve only had this computer for a shade over two months.
