Testing comments is fun. Yay!

I have to hand it to The Daily Show, they saw the contradiction and called it out. I just wish they would be more consistent about it. There is so much material to work with, you guys!

What donkeysnake said. I have an Xbox but not a Gold subscription, because I'm not really the multiplayer type. I used my free trial but as soon as it ran out I could no longer watch Netflix. Netflix is the ONLY reason I would subscribe to Gold, but it's not worth it since my trusty Wii provides that service with no cost or obligation.

EDIT: However, if I can watch Fox News... I might just get rid of cable and go Gold after all...

Some Starflyer 59 love on BH? Yeah! I bought Gold when I was in junior high (oh man). I can't claim it was love at first sight, but my appreciation and affection grew more and more with each listen, like any true love should.

Putting the whole human race in danger can seem trite, UNLESS Scott creates characters that we love and then puts THEM in danger as they're trying to save the rest of us. That's one of the reasons Aliens worked, imo.

I've been waiting for this film since the first time I saw Alien. SO STOKED. And I can't express how relieved I am that Ridley Scott is at the helm. For once I'm going to suspend my skepticism. I choose to hope & believe that this film will be awesome. If I'm disappointed later, so be it.

Meat pies are, indeed, real. And delicious. Try one if you ever find yourself in Louisiana.

Re: Best Shows on Netflix. "Columbo" and "Mission: Impossible" were two of my favorite shows when I was a kid -- and I was born in 1982. We watched Nick at Nite almost every night. Somehow TVLand didn't fare so well...

I'm glad to see that they're on Netflix Instant, but the benefit of having them on Nick at Nite was that they were always there if you were just flipping the channels. On Netfix you have to go looking for them. Netflix is horrible at advertising shows that they have available.

Ok, I just went over to Amazon and bought the book. Unlike some lefty bloggers and pundits, I'm going to read it before I render an opinion. See ya later...

But you see, John, leftists are intelligent, sensitive, open-minded individuals who embrace the post-modern aesthetic. Whatever they say can be interpreted and deconstructed to mean whatever the listener wants it to mean.

Conservatives, however, are stupid racists, and everything they say is obviously a code for the stupid racism that they secretly embrace.
