Grey's and the Gays

In a recent Entertainment Weekly article, T.R. Knight talked about leaving Grey's Anatomy. There was a lot of dancing around when it came to the tension between him and Shonda Rhimes, the show's producer, in regards to what exactly happened during the Isaiah Washington scandal.

After looking through p… Read full post »

You Call Those Divas?

I was actually quite pleased with the Divas Live return line-up. Kelly, Jennifer Hudson, and Adele all certainly deserve the title. I don't mind Jordin Sparks or Leona Lewis, and I can even live with Miley.

It wasn't until the second half of the show when things got...shall we say...confusing?

I loved/… Read full post »

Here are my favorite parts of the Oprah Winfrey interview with Whitney Houston based on Monday's show. I need to recover from all this before I can watch part two...slash I'm waiting for someone to upload it on Youtube.

Gays and Muslims

First, read this--http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2009/09/15/pew-study-muslims-and-gays-most-discriminated-in-america/.

Here are my ideas for killing two birds with one stone as far as this whole "Everybody Hates Gays and Muslims" problem:

HBO can make anybody like you. What other netw/… Read full post »

Me and TV (Pt. 1)

I've neglected television.

Normally, this wouldn't be considered unhealthy, but I grew up on television. It practically raised me. The fact that I've become one of those people who doesn't get references to last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" kills me.

So I'm doing a Recon mission--granted, I have/… Read full post »

Ellen on Idol

First, read this: http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/09/10/ellen-degeneres-american-idol-gah/

I agree with the following: We don't need a fourth judge. We need to get rid of Kara and have Ellen be the third judge. I agree that the contestants should be the focus, but how do you plan ahead of time having cont/… Read full post »

Last Night I Had a President

Last night, I had something I haven't had in quite some time. A President. Last night, I felt like my party won the election. I felt that we are a majority, not a few straggling Congressmen being bossed around by the GOP. Last night, I finally heard someone… Read full post »

Everyone Who Likes Jay Leno is an Idiot

After seeing Jay Leno on the cover of Time magazine with the headline--"The Future of Television..."

Well, I just had to respond.

First off, here's the article:

The fact that NBC has given up on substance, which is actually what's being talked… Read full post »

What Obama Is Going to Tell the Kids

Hey Kids!

It's President Obama, and boy, have I got a speech for you!

First, I want you to do something for me. I've sent all of your teachers a box of t-shirts that say "I <3 Communism." Put them on, and wear them all the time! Don't even wash them. If your… Read full post »

Meryl Streep's Masterpiece

First, read this:

http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/08/28/meryl-streep-movies-kramer-sophies-choice/

I disagree completely.

I can see arguing that Kramer vs. Kramer is not the best show of her talents. That movie belonged to Dustin Hoffman. That being said, it is without a doubt a terrific film.

I object to th… Read full post »

Romney Care

First, read this article from CNN--

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/08/20/romney.health.care/index.html?iref=newssearch

Now, I have a few questions.

First off, how exactly is forcing people to get Health coverage different from the government interfering? To me, it seems more intrusive than what Obama/… Read full post »

I Miss The Real World

Entertainment Weekly did a really interesting article on reality television this week, brought on by the murder-suicide involved with Megan Wants a Millionaire. All I could think when I read the article was--it wasn't broke, so why did they fix it? For this argument, I will merely mention one… Read full post »

The Clintons

On Hillary:

Good for her for snapping at that journalist. Nobody would ask President Obama what Michelle thinks of the job he's doing. And the woman journalist on The Today Show who commented that Hillary might be "having a bad hair day" should not only be fired, but should be made into/… Read full post »

First off, if you don't want to know anything about the movie, as I wouldn't you can stop reading once this paragraph breaks.  All you need to know is that you should see this movie because Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives the best performance I've seen all year in it.  Many people have… Read full post »

I like something Colin Powell says about information.

"Tell me what you know, then tell me what you don't know. Only then can you tell me what you think."

Well, I know I have Healthcare. I know I'm lucky because I have Healthcare. I know that if I get sick, I'm covered and/… Read full post »

To Whomever Might Steal This Car

To Whomever Might Steal This Car,

Greetings to you, lucky car-stealer. You have really stolen a jackpot. A veritable leprechaun's pot of chop shop parts and fond memories.

I can't tell you how many times I've cursed this car. I can't repeat most of the things I've said to it at the top/

Replacing Paula Abdul

Dear American Idol Producers,

Now that Paula is gone, I'd like to make my case for a replacement.

Before I tell you who it is, I should mention that my suggestion is not someone in the music industry. Nor is she particularly musical. In fact, I'm not even sure she listens to music.

That
