I'm sure my sons will have executive leadership skills, too. :)
Thank you, Sheryl Sandberg!

They're not my Republican friends.
"The issue it seems to me is with a $1.6 trillion deficit, it is insane to think that the only way you're gonna move toward a balanced budget is by slashing college Pell grants, by cutting Medicaid, by converting Medicare into a voucher program, by cutting programs that working class people and middle-class people desperately need. And at the same time, our Republican friends say, 'Well, we're gonna to do all of these terrible things to the most vulnerable people in America, but you know what, we're not going to ask billionaires to pay a nickel more in taxes.' I think that that is insane."

"Working people have rights. Health care should be a right of all people, not just a privilege of the wealthy."

FX Orders Elijah Wood Comedy Wilfred, by Natalie Abrams, TV Guide via Yahoo! TV.
FX has ordered Wilfred, a new comedy series starring Elijah Wood as an introvert trying to find happiness, the network announced Monday.
Adapted from the Australian series of the same name, the show revolves around Ryan (Wood) and his alter ego/imaginary friend Wilfred. Wilfred appears as a dog to the outside world, and as a walking, talking man in a dog costume to Ryan. Jason Gann, who co-created and starred in the original series, will play Wilfred.
Wilfred is "part Labrador retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender," executive producer David Zuckerman says.
Excitement! Also, I'd like to see that tattoo.

My main problem with Republicans
| The Daily Show With Jon Stewart | Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c | |||
| ||||
is that they actively support and vote for people like these: 30 GOP Senators Vote to Defend Gang Rape.
Please note that former Presidential candidate John McCain is one of the 30, now putting him in the same moral league as former Presidential candidate David Duke.
I have problems with Democrats, too, but so far, my problems with them have not included the phrase "defending gang rape."
Republican readers (all two of you, maybe), can you explain this situation?

Two affluent men talking about abortion

"Jon Stewart and Mike Huckabee talk about issues where they will never be the protagonist."
Readers, this is where the real change happens.
Also, at 2:28, you'll see that Mike Huckabee is worried that his children will send him to Shady Pines. If I were Mike Huckabee, I'd be worried, too.

Which is worse:
| The Daily Show With Jon Stewart | M - Th 11p / 10c | |||
| Harry Truman Was Not a War Criminal | ||||
| ||||
calling a former US President a war criminal (no, not that one), or dropping atomic bombs on Japan? I would think it is worse to kill over 200,000 people with nuclear weapons.
I don't understand how Jon Stewart has spent the past eight years validly lambasting the second Bush administration for its wrongdoing, yet feels the need to apologize for validly calling someone a war criminal who attacked two cities with nuclear weapons. No other president or country has ever done that. Maybe Jon would feel differently if he had ancestors or family from Nagasaki or Hiroshima who went through that permanent destruction of their homes and lives.
But what do I know? I don't have a late night talk show on a basic cable network.

"If I had only followed CNBC's advice, I'd have a million dollars today . . . "
" . . . provided I'd started with a hundred million dollars."
Who continues to listen to these financial pundits, and why do they still have television shows? If this is not a clear example of white male privilege, I don't what is.

Jon Stewart: Worming his way back into my heart
From Defamer: Jon Stewart Reportedly Offering Two-Week Strike Fund To His Picketing Staffers
"In a show of solidarity with his fellow scribes, the Daily Show host has told his writing staff that he will cover all their salaries for the next two weeks, according to a well-placed source. He has also vowed to do the same for writers on The Colbert Report. A Comedy Central spokesman referred my inquiry about this to Stewart's personal publicist, who has yet to respond.
"Stewart's intention, says the source, is to ensure his writers will face no financial hardship should the strike, which kicked off at 3 a.m. local time, conclude within that timeframe."
In comparison, Defamer brings us this memo from Fox:
"The production you are working on may come to completion, or because your particular skills may no longer be needed, you may not be picked up for another week or day (whichever is applicable) under your deal memo (if applicable). Therefore your work on the production may come to an end. Although we are not required by law to provide this notice, we wanted to give you as much notice as possible so that you can make appropriate arrangements."
Fox just keeps on giving.
