Regarding Kesey: History Channel has a 4-part series on the Drug War running this week. In part 1, they discussed Kesey, including being part of the MKUltra experiments, which got him going with LSD. It's been pretty interesting through the first two hours.

White Walls, a collection of short stories by Tatyana Tolstaya. Sonya is my favorite story, so far. I'm almost done.

If I had a nickel for every time I said that . . .

I think it is an Orc. I'm pretty sure Bryan Fuller has never seen Star Trek.

Maybe it'll end up on the CW.

Damn him and his Vulcan pedantry!

I will go out on a limb and predict it won't. It'll get delayed past September.

You live in Philly and you are calling other people morons? That's rich.

I've gone to Las Vegas twice a year for the last fifteen-plus years and I'm completely unaware of a Hard Rock Casino on the strip. There a couple of Hard Rock Cafes on the strip (at least there used to be two , . . the one near Caesar's might have closed). One of them has a small music venue — the one near MGM — but…

The biggest problem with Hard Rock in Vegas is just that it isn't convenient regarding the Strip.

Something can be both fun and embarrassing. Those aren't mutually exclusive.

Always Sunny was always that way.

The thought that continually comes back to me is that it works more like a series of set pieces than an on-going narrative anymore. Like sketch comedy, almost. Which is fine, I guess, because they still deliver the jokes. It's funny. I laugh. But it isn't the show I used to know. And it isn't as good or…

Rob Schneider, beheading you with laughter.

Seth has some talent.

I believe the appropriate term is alleged comedian.

What a sad, sad world we live in.

Star Chambers.

Dumb blonde? Never heard of such a thing.
