Kathleen Parker, writing for National Review Online, wants Palin to leave the ticket.
Palin didn’t make a mess cracking the glass ceiling. She simply glided through it.
It was fun while it lasted.
Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who [...]

Congratulations to Eric and Brooke on their pending marriage. I’ve been married for almost 12 years and I love being married — and more importantly — being married to my wife. People will tell you horror stories about marriage under the guise of “wisdom” or “keeping it real”, etc. Marriage is easy — IF [...]

Eric, that’s fantastic news! Best of luck and health to you both! As a man who married way, way above his rank and after almost two decades is still daily dumbstruck that the lovely, Mrs. Friefly said “Yes,” I wish you both all the joys marriage can bring!
Godspeed, Brooke and Eric!

Obviously very sad to hear of Paul Newman’s passing this morning. RIP, Captain Class — either Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or The Hustler after the Penn State game tonight. Then again, probably not until tomorrow with either the game or the movies, as I will be out celebrating my engagement at Vitello’s. [...]

I’m hearing a lot of confusion and wrong information about last night’s Presidential debate. Folks don’t know what to make of it. Some folks think they do, but even they are wrong. So, it is by necessity that I take time out of my busy schedule to inform you, our loyal readers, on what [...]

Paul Newman died at home this morning at the age of 83.
“Paul Newman’s craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all. “Paul had an abiding belief in the role that [...]

Floyd | Friday, 26th of September 2008 at 08:57:10 PM Topical… like an analgesic
Photo by MAD Magazine… tasteful censorship by Floyd. For the record — I don’t agree with the characters in the satire — but I like the concept. I’d put Haines in the dollar and have Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in the water — a thought which churns my stomach, [...]

A damn good writer and a good critic, the New York Post’s Kyle Smith takes on the new “thriller” Eagle Eye, starring Shia LaBeouf, who came straight from Nuking-The-Fridge in Indy IV with his jungle-swingin’ act to leading-man-in-waiting.
Shia LaBeouf, who announces that he is become a grown-up leading man by wearing one of [...]

In a result that surprised no one who actually watched the awful TV movie (I lasted all of 45 minutes), the new remake of Knight Rider was a disaster in the ratings.
On a night of television interrupted by a live address by President Bush, NBC ranked a distant third Wednesday as its new [...]

USC, John Wayne’s alma mater is hosting a retrospective of the man, his work, and his iconic status. There’s a lot of John Wayne love in the professor quoted in this L.A. Times piece. I wish I was free to get over there this weekend.
John Wayne was larger than life. An unabashed conservative. [...]

Eric | Thursday, 25th of September 2008 at 11:10:52 PM Just when you think you’ve seen it all from the usually boneheaded entertainment community, someone and his band surprise you in all the best ways. In short, and giving credit where it is most assuredly due, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock!!!!
Despite his strange affection for hanging out with and musically associating with [...]

Floyd | Thursday, 25th of September 2008 at 09:11:30 PM A huge gap in the cultural development of the Middle East is the lack of access to literature. One of my degrees is English and I get paid to read and talk about books (among other things). In other words — I love books with the passionate heat of a 1,000 suns. Kalima, a cultural [...]

The Chinese space agency launched China’s first space walk mission.
The three-day mission is part of Project 921, China’s ambitious manned space program, and was expected to include the country’s first attempt at a space walk, which would make China only the third country to accomplish the feat, after Russia and the United [...]

Rufus | Thursday, 25th of September 2008 at 01:19:36 PM Yesterday our Congress began work on the largest economic bailout plan in U.S. government history. Everyone involved is in agreement that if the plan is not passed soon (most say Monday morning at the latest) the gears of the U.S. Economy could completely freeze. So, Senator John McCain suspended his efforts to seek a new office in order [...]

Eric | Thursday, 25th of September 2008 at 12:54:52 PM Once upon a time, there was a man named Michael Moore. For far worse than better, he liked to get under people’s skin, from local school board members to, quite honestly, just about anyone who merely happened to disagree with his (and only his) way of thinking. He released a few pieces of fiction posing as [...]

Once upon a time, television was fun. It was breezy, had action – entertainment was the main purpose. No Law and Order preaching, no reality-show convulsion. The days of shows like Magnum P.I., Riptide and Simon and Simon.
Those are the days that the USA Network show Burn Notice bring back to [...]
