While I'm all in favor of anything supporting the Al Franken Millennium and I like everything I know about Elizabeth Warren, a Minnesota/Massachusetts ticket might not be the best electoral strategy. Separately, they haven't done that well in the recent past.

Clearly you didn't watch ABC's "World News Now" (their old overnight broadcast), otherwise you'd have fond memories of this gem (with Barry Mitchell).

I guess it's great that somebody found a clip and it'd probably be a service if someone would check to see if it remains in the show's official archive on screen.yahoo. Now that I'm reminded, I remember it, mostly because of the Kenan part, but I'm not really getting why her doing a bit on SNL is surprise or…

Roots was a fucking event. It was our nation's shared story and everyone watched.

At first I was a bit saddened by the news that Burt was selling his memorabilia, but then I scrolled through some of the item listings and there are football trophies from when he was a kid, books others have autographed to him and random stuff he's accumulated. I hope he's keeping the best stuff for a Burt Reynolds…

The only real difference (and what prompted my reply) is that as I read the excerpted quote, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Taylor Swift, rather her involvement in the title and the original post is something similar to me saying to my wife, "the Dairy Queen we used to stop at after the kids' swim meets…

The source article is behind a paywall, so I'm not seeing the quote in context, but based upon the little bit we have, it sounds like she's complaining about the book and how the character only looked like her. The Taylor Swift connection appears to be that she was attached to the film at one time, which may be how…

I believe Joni was describing herself as having "high cheekbones" and she was saying that it was the only resemblance between herself and the character in the book.

I'm seeing nothing on KCRG's site as of yet, acknowledging the video. I looked because I was reminded of the time in '04, when the Lexington Herald-Leader apologized for not covering the civil rights movement. (I'm not quickly finding the series which discovered their error — the existing links produce a 404 — but…

Legalization isn't a youth issue. There are a lot of current and former pot smokers among the old. What's changed is that it's once again become possible. Decriminalization as a step toward legalization was chosen route in the 70s, but then Reagan came along pushing in the other direction and a lot of those in power…

While I believe I'd do better than okay at "Name that Tune", I didn't do well at predicting the tune or lyric. Though I might recognize a song, I rarely sing along with the radio.

It isn't directly linked from the source post, but all evidence points toward those "offended at the mention of Alice's adoption" are the commenters to another blog, where they put "adopted" in their post title and a lot of people thought "daughter" would suffice.

I hadn't watched it, but Jacob on Gawker's MorningAfter called it "awesome" and said Kate Walsh was having "a blast", so the other day when I wanted a mindless sitcom to stream on my second screen, I gave it a whirl. And yes, her supervising judge wanted her to file a motion, which didn't make any sense.

I couldn't figure out why Danny or the kid's mother didn't try the subway. Maybe I missed it and the idea was addressed, but even if there was no electricity, you'd think the tracks would provide a clear route. If suddenly a forest were to grow around me, if I saw a subway station, I'd at least look inside.

I have to say that as I streamed this episode earlier (via Hulu), there were a couple of times that I wished I had gone back and re-watched the two-part finale of last season (available on Netflix) because regarding some of the stuff happening on the surface, I had to go "if you say so...". While having a recap isn't…

According to the original link, he gave a wide-ranging interview where he also discussed politics, in addition to how he thinks the US locks up too many people, like Martha Stewart, African-American teens on minor charges and he told a story about his friend. The bit about his friend is what they pulled out to promote…

Just after the nine minute mark in the making-of, he said that he asked to film one where he gave a different answer, but because it's not in the clip, I assume they didn't.

Whoops! "Beat It" was the one with Eddie Van Halen and it appeared on "Thriller", along with his first duet with Paul McCartney, "The Girl is Mine".

Lionel Ritchie, Kool & the Gang, Donna Summer, The Pointer Sisters were all over MTV, as was Michael Jackson. I remember hearing some story about how he may have opened the door for other artists, but I think some of that was probably people self-aggrandizing or any kind of difficulty was short-lived because it wasn't…

I kept meaning to compare their offerings to the other services. If there was enough of a difference, the free monthly rentals could have thrown it over the top, but quick glances at their homepage never made it look they had anything more than what's available through Netflix, Hulu and Crackle. There also weren't a…
