Ladies and gentlemen, the modern Republican party. They stand for nothing, and they stand in the way of everything.
By coincidence, Rep. Eshoo, there, represents a couple of places I used to live.

How do we feel about this hat, ladies?
If Sophie Monk is known for anything--and she's not, really, at least in this country--it's 'cause she's all curvy and everything. That's why she seems to have paparazzi watching her all day. Even though, as I say, I very much doubt you could find 10 people at any given USA supermarket who know who she is.
She's good-looking. This hat, however...

I just figured out who Glen Beck reminds me of
I'm not "camera friendly," I don't "wear clothes that fit me"...

Heather, sweetie, about your career...
You know, it's actually gone okay. You don't need to break out the cans every .34 seconds anymore.
Stay with it til the last line, it's worth it
This video is a little better than the song, but I like the message, and the song certainly isn't awful. If I were still reviewing music I think I'd just say it has promise it never quite fulfills.
Hang on--I wasn't familiar with the band, so I just looked up their MySpace page. Apparently it's one of those Nickelodeon/Disney Channel type things; these girls are 13 and 14 years old.
In which case, they sound exactly the way they should, young teenagers are nothing but promise.

According to Wikipedia (and why would it lie?), they write most of their own material, too. That's it, I'm officially impressed.

Nobody said she wasn't wasn't gorgeous....
I must be slipping.
I'm now only the third top result if you Google "natalie portman annoying."
But I might have new reason to think she is: Looking ahead, she won't rule out plastic surgery.
You know, as she approaches 40.

All right, you have my attention
One of these days, I simply must see Hayden Panettiere act in something.
She's just so darn cute.

Do any of you remember this sitcom...
...from around 1984 called Double Trouble? Focusing on twins, it was basically a Patty Duke Show for the '80s. No one's going to claim it's any kind of lost classic, but one or two sequences do maintain a warm spot in the hearts of those of us who were just the right age when we saw them.
Like this one, for example.
God help me, I still remember the plot of this episode: The two girls each enter a dance contest which is to be broadcast on local television.
When one of the sisters--the "mischevious" one--suffers an accident and cannot perform, her twin--the "well-behaved" one--dances the other's somewhat raunchy routine (remember, this is 1984) under her sister's name:
The twins were played by Jean & Liz Sagal, who in real life are the younger sisters of Katey Sagal of Futurama & Married with Children fame. I think that's Liz dancing in the clip above.
Both continue to work in television, but have moved behind the camera as a writer (Liz) and director (Jean).

God, I love Terry Gilliam movies.
If this one is outdone by "Tim Burton's" Alice in Wonderland, I'm sticking a dagger through my heart.

Holy shit
Guys, it's over.
About an hour, hour and a half ago I was surfing over to IMDb to check on something else and I glanced, as I habitually do, at their little list of the top five films at the box office this weekend. Even though I'd already seen the preliminary list on Sunday. Something new had been added.
To be sure, I went and checked the Rotten Tomatoes version of the same list, and they concurred. Wheras before, Saw VI was still holding on by its fingernails to the fifth slot, apparently after all the coin had been counted, it was replaced by Where the Wild Things Are.
A Saw movie didn't make it into the ranks of the top five on Halloween weekend.
Saw's run of success is over.
It's time to let go.

Canadians love Obama, but anti-Americanism dies hard
A pair of recently-released polls in Canada indicate U.S. President Barack Obama is more popular north of the 49th parallel than with his own citizens. But both surverys -- done to coincide with the first anniversary of Obama's election -- suggest that Americans themselves still don't fare so well with their critical neighbours.
...a Historica-Dominion Institute survey ... also indicates that the Canadian pathology of anti-Americanism is as alive, more or less, as in the past...
Oh say can you see...
Scottish actor David Tennant is making his way into American homes very soon.
