Several years ago, there was a couple from New Mexico who were on vacation in New York City when they started showing symptoms of the plague. Initially, it got the tabloid treatment from NYC media due to fears of bioterrorism, but when it came out that the plague is fairly common in the southwest, the headlines died…

I watched the first four on Hulu and thought the political maneuvering was great, but it had a bit much of Greg Berlanti's "family" stuff to be important. Still, I watched the first four and because it's USA, I'm patiently waiting until 30-days after air for the next two.

NBC and Fox have been pre-releasing a lot of their shows. NBC has the pilot episodes for several of their comedies and Fox has the Mindy Kaling thing available on Hulu. Thus far, I've watched a couple and I'll probably sample one or two more. They also did the same thing with the Keifer Sutherland show last season and…

Like everything Abrams, there's huge problems that you have to look beyond and I'll give it a few episodes, then if it hasn't become better, they'lll likely pile-up in my Hulu queue as what happened with Alcatraz.

If you opt for the insurance when you rent a car, your premium just goes to another part of the rental company. If life insurance policies don't cover space tourism, I'm sure the tourism companies will step up and once it becomes commonplace, if the life insurance companies relax their restrictions, they'll probably…

There may be some benefit for someone trying to change or have a positive effect upon someone else, and maybe a misogynistic dictator could learn that if they highlight certain character traits it will help keep women tamped-down, but in a free society with an unlimited number of outlets and entertainment choices, I'd…

I also had to search, most likely because the blogger didn't have a link. After all, there's nothing in the post that doesn't come from the Smoking Gun.

I tweeted my support at the end of last season and this season it's one of the shows that I know when will be available and for me, it's appointment viewing.

Twin Peaks set the standard and I remember being excited for American Gothic when it aired, but last year or the year before, I started watching it again on Hulu and I kind of think that a lot of the excitement may have been because there was nothing else on.

If you don't mind my asking... your kid's mother was adamant which way?

Because it's a per-patron fee, I've assumed it would be a tax on admission. Of course I've never bothered to read the law, but have wondered if it would do away with no cover times.

I've never surveyed the educational attainment or aspirations of strippers, but I'm willing to accept that the majority of both sexes probably don't have a college degree, so stripping may be the best money available to them. Should they not have that choice?

I like the fact that though Doug reproduced the source article's current headline correctly, the URL shows it originally said People is as important as "national media". As if CNN's sister wasn't more "national" than the Washington Post.

I'd really be pissed if I owned a toy store and tried to order Barbies from my distributor, only to be told that I had to also buy these other Barbies in addition to the ones I want, all because an editorialist at the Vatican thought it was a good idea.

My biggest issue with Fox's 8-day delay (for both Hulu and the Fox site) is that I also have to wait to read the io9 recaps and I don't really get a chance to actively participate. Though there may be something to being able to pull up the recap as the credits roll.

Seriously. I hope the developers of this app make a few bucks for their effort and now that it's made, it exists, but I really don't care enough about other people's pics.

I also didn't know what a bump key was. I've heard the phrase before and have actually read it a few times over the past couple of weeks, so I'm assuming it's a factor in a popular video game or movie. Otherwise, I don't know why a common tool that I'm guessing would be used by criminals or rogue cops would be common…

Good morning! The birds are singing. It's such a wonderful day.

Every press release with a "maybe definitely" gets people to visit their site, where they have a "Certificate of Participation", memberships and other items for sale. While not saying anything until it's concrete would have a negative effect on their fundraising scheme.

I also don't recall anyone calling Sevigny names for the film, but Gallo was a favorite and frequent target of all the Gawker sites at that time. There were literally dozens of posts about him and one of the themes around the release of the film was whether he used a "stunt cock". From a quick Google, here's a post…
