ENTITLEMENT.
This is so Republican.
A good Republican is one who wants to blame, especially to blame when it comes to events and things that make life difficult for them.
Government, foreigners, you name it. It's someone's fault and damn it they're angry.
I don't claim to understand this, though I imagine it's pretty much human nature. However, it could be argued that such blame and anger are things that folks flock to religion in order to get relief from.
That's what I love about Senator Obama; he doesn't go for blame. I think it's a spiritual thing. Can anyone imagine someone in the Obama campaign calling 911 to complain about traffic on an interstate highway?

NOW THAT SARAH PALIN MAY WIND UP ON TV...
Some say she could be a quote, "white Oprah".
As a producer, my thought would be a new show called "Let's Throw Things At Sarah Palin."

WHAT IF IT WORKS?
The GOP robo calls.
What if people buy that crap?
Could someone tell me one GOP talking point that rises above the level of half-truth? Even half? I can't.

HOW MUCH DO I LOVE MAD MEN?
Such a wonderful show on every single level.
I had an idea for the show...and feel free to steal it Mr Weiner...but every weekday around 5:00PM, two planes used to take off, one each from Chicago O'Hare and New York La Guardia departing for the other city. The thing about these flights; they were "Executive Flights" and that meant "MEN ONLY" (bold actually in the timetables too).
The idea, I suppose, was that men on business trips to Chicago and New York needed a frat party in the sky. The flight attendants probably required battle pay, but of course didn't get it. Anyway, I thought that this would work in a Mad Men episode, since one of the show's biggest missions is to point out how far we've come in the world of women's lives...how women were treated back then.
The amazing thing about these flights: they didn't phase them out until around 1970.
Today, they'd be called the GOP Post-Feminist Flights.

GOOD NEWS IN THE ALCS
In the course of five years, the Red Sox went from unbearable losers to unbearable winners. I'm happy for the Rays. That's the kind of team you want to see in the World Series.
