Dear Tivo: I spoke too soon
Alright, thanks for the murder.
Still waiting on those titties, though.
Dear Tivo: Dexter is very boring this season
Please make him start graphically murdering and dismembering people again.
I don’t care about the Japanese forensics guy. Stop giving him subplots.
Plus, Jimmy Smits has worn out his welcome. Please drop his plot as well.
Also, Deb should get naked. True Blood is starting to put these other shows to shame: three straight episodes with Anna Paquin titties. Meanwhile, Dexter is giving...
Hennes & Mauritz?
I was checking my transactions on the excellent Mint.com (basically a site that aggregates all of your various bank accounts, credit cards and tells you how much you’re worth, how much you’re spending, etc) and I saw a charge for “Hennes & Mauritz” in the clothing category.
It took me a good 20 seconds before I realized: H&M. I was there last week getting a new...

It’s been almost 5 months since she lost, but the crazed Hillary supporters known as PUMAs are still growling.
The vast, vast majority of former Clinton supporters have come around for Obama. But there are still a...
Poll: Obama up 15 points in Iowa →
McCain clearly has no chance in Iowa — yet he’s campaigning there this weekend?
Even Republicans in Iowa are baffled as to why McCain is wasting his time there.
The reason McCain is losing this race — aside from the entire country hating President Bush — is that he’s running a fundamentally incompetent campaign.
But Bush was the most incompetent president in...

The Pittsburgh Tribune Review sheds some light:
She said she remembers being in her car, driving around the city, and seeing the letter on her cheek when she looked into the rearview mirror. She said she immediately thought of Barack Obama when she saw the “B,” Bryant said.

Who knew: SNL alum Victoria Jackson is a wack-job... →
From her blog on her official website:
Why am I voting for the fantastic McCain/Palin ticket? Simply because my “world view” is based on the belief that The Bible is the inerrant, holy, Word of God, and the Republican stance on abortion, marriage, government control, taxes, education, health care, charity, military, defense, democracy and freedom - lines up closest with the...

Benefit of living in 100 year old charming Greenwich Village apartment: living just a block away from the building where they filmed the exterior shots for Friends, and feeling quite smug passing the tour groups gawking at it on Saturday mornings while out fetching bagels and coffee. Out of the way, rubes! Local coming through.
Downside of living in 100 year old charming Greenwich Village...

– Rush Limbaugh crawled out from whatever rock he hinds under on the weekends to send a tear-filled email to Politico complaining about the Powell endorsement.
