No joke. I was out with my wife all of today, and we were hanging out in a bookstore. I went to see if I could find a book I was looking for, while she sat down to check the Internet. I came back to her. "NBC ordered a Heroes miniseries," she said. Off my stricken expression, "Do you have to write that up?"…

Ferguson is by far my favorite network late-night host, and it's neck and neck between him and Colbert when you add in cable.

Rubicon is on Amazon's streaming service!

The term for that (at least in English) is "present participle." But, yeah, it just means something you are in the process of doing. Like I am writing this comment to you right now!
