| THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!! if you manage a blog, post content to a
blog, are a member of any internet message board, or enjoy reading
blogs or message boards you need to pay very close attention to the
following. I want you to visit the following websites, and read what
they have to say. Yes, the first is a link to Tucker Max's site. While
i am a fan of Tucker's, I'm not asking you to go there to read stories.
Tucker is being sued in Federal Court by a New York socialite and party
promoter. This man claims that under certain provisions of the federal
Violence Against Women Act, he was maliciously libled by people posting
to the message board at Tucker's site, and he is due damages. I simply
cannot stress enough to you how dangerous and insidious this lawsuit
is. If this man's claim is even allowed in court, it could not only
kill Tucker's site, but every messageboard and blog on the internet.
That is not, i assure you, hyperbole. If this claim is upheld, it would
say that anyone who hosts a website, like me, for example, responsible
for any comment put on it that may "annoy" someone. Seriously, annoy.
Not provoke violence or religious hatred or anything, annoy. In other
words, if someone out there doesn't like what i, or anyone else, has to
say on any topic whatsoever, they can at least threaten to sue,
and the threat alone would kill pretty much any blog you care to name.
Please, please, please go to these sites, read all you can, and then
post this information on your sites or on message boards you visit.
THIS MUST BE STOPPED. If you are so inclined, write your congressional
representatives about anti-SLAPP legislation (you'll read about it in
the myelectionanalysis piece). This lawsuit is about the very heart of
freedom of speech, and we must prevail.

| Television quickiesAs some of you may know, i am a television freak. i'm an unabashed addict. and thus, i think its time for some quick opinions on whats happening in the TV universe.
The Sopranos: I got into this show over the last few months, blowing my way through the first five seasons on DVD and HBO onDemand in preperation for season six. I have not been disapointed. I've found both of the first two episodes to be smart, witty, funny, and exactly the quality i expected. its been great. AJ Soprano will be an awesome character this season, and Medow Soprano keeps getting hotter as the show goes on.
Battlestar Galactica: Awesome premise for the season finale, and a very interesting use of a time jump. Though, the Edward James Olmos mustache was very, very disturbing.
Big Love: Through two episodes of this new HBO drama, i can honestly say that it is one of the freshest concepts on TV. As a sports comentator might say, this show has tremendous upside potential. I've seen Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, I'm still a West Wing devotee (more on that show in a minute), i love Entourage, and The Sopranos is amazing, but of all these shows, Big Love may have the sharpest writing and the freshest plots. Just a totally new spin on the family drama.
The Colbert Report: Quick! Get a bucket, cause i'm about to truth! This is, hands down, the best half hour of television four nights a week. It just kills everything else on tv. Makes The Daily Show look like its bitch. Just remember, don't give into the godless, murderous bear adgenda. Bears are the biggest threat to our freedom and safety.
The West Wing: As one of my favorite shows ever nears its end, i reflect back on what came before and what is now. The first four seasons of the show, especially, in my opinion, seasons 3 and 4 were the best, and were written by Aaron Sorkin, who is by far my favorite writer working today in television or film. smart dialouge, the walk and talks, and the brilliant work of the cast and crew made this show a joy to watch and follow. Its last season has been... well, somewhat disapointing. I think much of the blame for that lies with NBC, who moved the show from its usual Wedensday time slot to a really awkward 7pm Sunday slot. Furthermore, they have chopped up the season into chunks with crazy breaks of time in between. For instance, they did not need to take a month off for the olympics, or a huge break in between fall sweeps and new episodes in january. I'm not sure i'll actually get a feel for this season until i watch it on DVD. Of course, the untimely passing of John Spencer (Leo McGarry) effects this season greatly, and it is very odd to see him in the new episodes that were filmed before he passed away. I do like the fact that Josh and Donna might finally be getting together, and i am looking forward to the Presidental election, as well as the episode where Leo dies. Word is that Aaron Sorkin came back and wrote that episode, i'm looking forward to it.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: This is the new show from Aaron Sorkin that has been picked up for at least 13 episodes by NBC. Bradley Whitford (Josh Lyman, TWW), D.L. Hugley, and Matthew Perry are all attached, and the general reaction to the script for the pilot is that it is fantastic. I, unfortunately, have not read it (i don't even know how to get a copy...), but i expect it will be somewhat of a synthesis of Sports Night (Sorkin's show before TWW) and TWW, incorporating the lightning pace of the first while incorporating the intelligence of the latter. (That's not to be taken that SN isn't smart, it is, but lets face it, with the exception of some of the better episodes of The Sopranos and House, M.D., TWW was, is, and may be for quite some time the smartest TV drama ever.)
Real World: Key West: This season started out with promise, and unlike San Diego (which i found to be a bit of a bust, after starting with so much potential), it is aquitting itself quite well. Only a few weeks in, I think this season is showing that it will avoid focusing in on a couple of castmates while leaving the others out, which i thought RW: Austin did with Melinda and Danny (which, granted, i didn't have a huge problem with, because they made for damn good television). I'm looking forward to the next few weeks of this one, Svetlana seems to be interesting, Paula kinda irritates me, and i'm not sure what to make of the guys yet.
RR/RW The Gauntlet II: i caught up with this one a little late, only in past few weeks. when both the Miz and Coral weren't on, i thought this would suck. I was wrong. Alton has been the biggest badass ever. he's simply friggin awesome. plus, watching Beth absolutely KILL her team was one of the greatest joys ever. anything that makes Derrick lose his mind is amusing to me.
perhaps more later!

| TV Review : MTV's Parental Controljust in case you were worried that this would be all high art type stuff...
I just sat through thirty minutes of MTV's Parental Control. Knowing the concept behind this show, i was expecting it to be an absolute disaster, just another program to showcase people who shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. And I was correct. This show has absolutely no redeeming social value, and featured a cast of people, who, for the most part, could be bludgeoned to death with telephone books with no noticible loss to society.
However! It was captivating television. This was train wreck TV of quality most superior. The episode i viewed featured the following scenerio: A young, african american mom, seemingly highly educated and upper middle class, working in the music business, and her equally nice and educated boyfriend, dislike the girlfriend of her wanna be rapper son. The girlfriend is a, well, i suppose the proper term is... thick girl, and she is a bitch. The mom and her boyfriend each select a girl for the son (de Andre) to go on a date with while they watch with the girlfriend (Dominique). as soon as the dates start, the mother and girlfriend set in on each other. i seriously though violence was about ready to break out. here are some choice quotes and exchanges: (the mom's boyfriend will be refered to as dad, for brevity)
in preshow interviews:
she's
a rich bitch without the rich - mom
during the first date (ice skating, the date's name is karley)
how
much education does it take to act like an asshole. - mom (to Dominique)
Yeah,
hopefully he'll be keeping her warm all night. - mom (to Dominique)
I
think you just lost your man. You can go
buy another. - dad (to Dominique)
I'll
give her a fat lip. then it will be as
juicy as mine. -Dominique, about Karley, when she asks de Andre about her lips
Oh
sucky duck quack quiz-o! -dad (after Karley kisses de Andre)
he's
not gonna bring her back here is he?
that’s rude. I'm here.
-Dominique
Well
you can get the hell out. - dad
no
girl is cuter than me, so go ahead - Dominique (to de Andre)
oh
please - mom
second
date (whose name is Saaida, pronounced like Saudia. and she just came out of the military. in the middle east. they go paintballing)
Oh
don't get up -Saaida (to Dominique)
she
thinks she's cuter than me? we'll see
how she likes my five inch stiletto up her ass -Dominique
That
little skinny bitch? please. - Dominique
Now
I see why you picked her, just like you with that bitchy attitude -Dominique (to mom)
She
is a ho. - Dominique
She
looks better in that mask - Dominique (refering to paintball mask)
Oh
and you're one to talk about childish -mom (to Dominique, about a comment she made)
Cheatin
bitch. you happy with your choice?
-Dominique (after Saadia cheated at Paintball)
Didn't
charm school teach you anything? - mom
Taught
me you are a ghetto bitch -Dominique
There's
gonna be hell to pay - Dominique
how
you wanna do this? you wanna get up and
leave now? -mom
Then came the decision. de Andre, being a train wreck of a human being, chooses Dominique over Karley the UCLA student and Saadia the ex-soldier. dumbass. two more quotes stand out:
If
dominique stays, then de Andre is out of the house. -mom
Hey,
she's got more cushin for the pushin. -de Andre (about Dominique)
In the end, this show is totally worthless, unless you are really bored. and i mean REALLY bored. which i was. This fits right in with the pattern of MTV dating shows that hook up attractive losers with other attractive losers. So there you go. Worthless people for a worthless holiday...
ahhh fuck it. Happy Valentines Day, everyone.
