We agreed, it's strictly a comfort thing.

Holy shit.  In the entire history of no-effort meaningless gestures wearing blue at a Penn State game to protest child abuse has to top the list.

I agree.  It was smart of them to pull you in with the undercover reporting.  Anything else would have been burying the lead.

Here in Pennsylvania it's amazing how close this story is paralleling the sex scandals in the Catholic church with true believers circling the wagons.  Maybe it's not so surprising since Paterno the infallible coach is the closest thing we have to a Pope.  I caught a few minutes of FOX Philly's morning show by…

I love how the conspiracy theorists at FOX News are saying that Rahm Emanuel is secretly behind the scandal as if the Democrats wouldn't kill to be able to run against Cain in the general election.

I guess it's no surprise that people who should know better like Judd Apatow continue to make excuses for Sandler.  He's supposedly very generous with friends and, hey, who can resist sucking off the teat of the lowbrow cash cow.  The fact is that he can never change his ways because consistently making films with in…

Wait is this some kind of English thing like the numbering of building floors?  Is third called first over there?

I couldn't disagree more.  Syria is off most Americans' radar and if takes a visceral gut punch showing real people suffering real consequences for standing up to authoritarianism to make us sit up and take notice then so be it.

The report was absolutely riveting, but let me get this straight:  It only gets a B because it didn't assume the entire audience was already well versed in The Arab Spring as it pertains to Syria?   That's some powerful news wonk snobbery.

North of 50?   At 65 Joanna Lumley has been north arctic circle longer than Santa Claus.

Anyone else got this ear-worm lodged in their brain when they hear the title: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

John Hannah and Lucy Lawless were by far the best things about that show so they're really going to be starting from scratch this time around.

They need to get Brian Cox, Ralph Fiennes and Anthony Hopkins to complete the menagerie of  Thomas Harris serial killers.

Interesting article but I think there is much more straight-forward explanation even though I know I'm whacking a hornet's nest just bringing it up.  The South, as a whole, has always had a more pervasive gun culture than the North (and  yes I know there are lots of gun nuts in the North including just about every one…

This bullshit about the the Southern man of honor out for vengeance against the degenerate Yankees who murdered his family has to be one of the most hackneyed tropes in American fiction.  It seems to be the most resonant myth in the whole school of "Lost Cause" revisionism.  (Actually, my main problem with this show…

No, The Amazing Race has always been pretty conscientious about casting ugly Americans of every race, creed and orientation.

Ah, the heartbreak of Breakfast at Tiffany's Syndrome.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1E…

….and why do they call them chips when they're actually wafers?

I am one of the few defenders of season 1 of Torchwood and a huge fan of Children of Earth so I believe I speak with some authority when I say that Miracle Day was one of the most atrocious pieces of shit ever hurled at an unsuspecting audience.
