A real loss to conservatism and to the world. (I'm worried. I'm almost the same age. How do you die of natural causes at 43, short of classifying a falling piano as a "natural cause"?)

HBO is pay TV. It's extra, above the regular channels. So, unless you're talking about an "all movie channels" bundle, you should be able to cancel.

Or just cancel them all. Netflix is only $8.

Nobody on the Right will deny that Obama held the office of President when the time came for him to make the most obvious call in the world. Now, will anyone on the Left acknowledge that Osama Bin Laden was only killed because of the War on Terror, the War in Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, Gitmo and waterboarding, all of which were vehemently opposed by Obama?

Then why name the doctor Levine?

Doesn't the fact that they CAN do all of those things sort of point out how this is a different situation?

"Point Break" was already remade as "The Fast and the Furious".

I hate to say it, but I like 30 Rock a lot. The knocks against my beliefs are pretty constant (between Jack Donaghy's Republicanism, Kenneth's hick upbringing and Liz's "Clintonista" views), but all in all I have to say I'm surprised at the sympathetic Republican that Jack plays. I mean, I would expect Alec Baldwin to portray him as either a cruel devil or a moron, but often it's great to see Jack giving voice to right-wing beliefs. For instance, when he and his wife heard that their Canadian child delivery would be "free", they angrily refuse and insist that someone take their money. That's pretty much how my family acted when we got sick in England; all the Brits around us assured us that our medical treatment (despite being American tourists) would be "free", and we kept telling them it wasn't right to take their tax money out of their system if we didn't pay into it.

I remember the Friends episode where a woman steals Monica's identity and they befriend her. She rants about how bad "Dead Poets Society" is, because the kid who kills himself should have just waited a year to move out.

I don't know if you caught that he references "Glory" (I think the reporter didn't know what he was talking about, and so quotes it lowercase) as a movie that shows black soldiers being used as cannon fodder by white officers. That's George's take on one of the great films that is better written than any of his, apparently.

I'm uncertain as to when the whole Tea Party thing began. Was it before this event? If so, they may have wanted to avoid a "Mad Hatter has his tea party at the White House" meme, which EVERY two-bit comedian would be riffing on when they heard about it.
