Sideways
Paul Giamatti was robbed. No Oscar nomination for him? The film hinged on his acting. Wonderful, nuanced performance.
DVDs
SCTV Vol. 2
I'm hooked, and I plan to get every volume they put out. It takes me back to when I was in 7th grade watching SCTV reruns on public TV. The Godfather and CCCP-1 both stand the test of time after almost 25 years.
Television
(The all-hating-on-Tucker Carlson special edition)
Countdown with
Keith Olbermann
The only smart show on MSNBC. I can imagine the legion of channel-flips when Tucker Carlson follows Countdown.
The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart
Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for deep-sixing Crossfire... while appearing on Crossfire. Alas, America's still hurting - which means Jon's job is safe.
Radio
David Lawrence
Opie and Anthony
Jim Rome
XM Satellite Radio
I love the comedy channels. XM was a wonderful thing to have on my recent road trip.

Normally, I don't look at spam long enough to critique it, but this just caught my eye. This is no ordinary phallus enlargement or home mortgage or cheap drugs email in hacked-up English. This is the worst attempt at identity fraud. Ever. Ever. Ever.

Dear_ _Citibank_ Client_,

This_ EMAIL was se-nt by_the_ Citi_Bank server to veerify _your_ e-mail address. You mmust complete this peosrcs by clicking on_the_link beloow and enttering in the litle window your CITI-bank _ATM_ Card Nummber and _pin_ that you use in _Atm_. That is done - for-your peoctrtion -h- becourse some of our memebrs no leongr have acescs to their email adersdess and we must verify it.

To veerify _your_ EMAIL _address_ and accees your _citibank_ account, clik on the link beloow.


No graphics in the email, either, unlike those shitty spams trying to break into PayPal accounts. Anybody falling for this deserves to be bilked.

This made me smile. Josh Marshall intellectually kicks Gary Bauer's pancake-flipping ass in the span of a few paragraphs. And how about those fearful predictions from Gov. Gröpendamus that there would be more blood spilled from gay-marriage civil unrest than good upstanding people have seen in the Mel Gibson savior-snuff flick? Hoo boy, watch out - it's dope, guns and same-sex domestication in the streets. It's a regular White Night riot here every day. I think the worst thing that has happened was Rosie O. foisting herself upon our city, but thank goodness that was just a temporary thing.
