The truth: I am unaffected by bad marketing, which I think is best represented
by much of today's advertising.
Law and Order: Bollywood - John Ross Bowie
the studios can't outsource writers jobs they way Chrysler might auto worker
jobs. That said, what if they did start writing, say, Without A Trace in New
Delhi? 4 hour episodes? Musical numbers? I don't hate the idea
Writers Strike takes Sanity off the Air - Jen Clark (great points here)
...they (sic. the writers on strike) are hurting our country by taking these particular shows off-the-air. As sad a statement as this is, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and Craig Ferguson are almost always better sources for perspective than our cable TV news programs and their hosts. The interviews conducted by the late-night guys, especially Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, are usually of smart people and consist of conversations, as opposed to shouting matches between know-it-alls.
Its Hard to be a Democrat - Nora Ephron
It's hard when you watch a debate and decide that in the end you're probably
going to throw your vote away in the primary and vote for someone who doesn't
have a chance, like Dennis Kucinich. I mean, look at them, look at the front
runners: Hillary Clinton, who can't help being Hillary Clinton; Barack Obama,
who was a disappointment from the beginning and whose new-found attack mode is
as dispiriting as his low energy level used to be; John Edwards, whom I am
afraid I will never be able to think of again (after this week's Peggy Noonan
column in the Wall Street Journal) as anything but a desperate furry little
woodland animal.
Noun + Verb + 9/11 + Iran = Democrats’ Defeat? - By Frank Rich
WHEN President Bush started making noises about World War III, he only confirmed what has been a Democratic article of faith all year: Between now and Election Day he and Dick Cheney, cheered on by the mob of neocon dead-enders, are going to bomb Iran.
But what happens if President Bush does not bomb Iran? That is good news for the world, but potentially terrible news for the Democrats. If we do go to war in Iran, the election will indeed be a referendum on the results, which the Republican Party will own no matter whom it nominates for president. But if we don’t, the Democratic standard-bearer will have to take a clear stand on the defining issue of the race. As we saw once again at Tuesday night’s debate, the front-runner, Hillary Clinton, does not have one.
