I’ve really been impressed with conservatives awkwardly trying to pin Roman Polanski’s sins on the whole of the political left. Along with “the media” “Hollywood values” have always been the meat and potatoes of knee-jerk conservative political excuses for anything wrong with the country. They feel that since Woody Allen and Harvey Weinstein have bizarrely [...]

Somebody clue me in as to what the hell the deal with the show The Hills is. Is it a mindless drama with characters and a script, or is it some kind of reality show that is following real people? Seriously. I’m reading some item about a cast member on the show actually dating a [...]

Watching some video of the Judge Sonia Sotomayor hearings I was struck by a handful of items. First I was glad to see the first evidence of humor arising from Senator Al Franken.

Most non-election year summers are slow for news, but not the summer of 2009. The last couple of weeks have brought us celebrity death watch, the Sarah Palin media extravaganza, and of course the death of Michael Jackson.
