I’ve never seen Chuck, and tonight will find out what the Niners are really about this year.
But I did watch Boardwalk Empire last night. A 4 star, thumbs-up production. Those unfamiliar with its historical personages need only google about them to get up to speed with the story.
At this point, I must have seen Big Jim Colosimo assassinated (while listening to Caruso) in at least a half dozen films. But last night’s version was by far the most poetic. Directed by Scorese, Big Jim’s blood flowing onto-and-across the tile floor was part Godfather, part Goodfella’s montage.
So who is the new Buy More hotness? “Should I hold your hand?”

@Southern Beale: I used to watch it for how astonishingly accurately it captured the look and feel of Best Buy in a TV series.
In response to Eric Boehlert’s assertion that the right wing media has no adult supervision, Chris Matthews said, “what about John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, who have lived their lives in the center?”
Unless he meant the center of Washington DC, geographically, fuck you again, you pathetic fucking dumbass villager asshole. Why don’t you tell us a-fucking-gain what you used to do in Irish-American politics when you were just a working class kid again and how this describes all American politics today?
There is now afoot a conscious effort to de-Europeanize and to re-Judaize Christianity, through scriptural revision, internal treachery and external pressure.
__
The importance of applying eugenic measures in the West becomes evident from Richard Lynn’s recent work on Dysgenics and his just-released seminal work Eugenics: A Reassessment.
The problem with this is that some liberal will bring the notion of ‘race’ into it and therefore play the race card to destroy our ability to hold a good conversation about race, and maybe de-integrating the schools and for best effect sterilizing the darkies.
I just hope that Democrats will someday be willing to work for the best interests of the country by learning from the centrists of the other side.

Electronic file downloads and donations can be found here: http://unicornpegasuskitten.com/ I figure the community here would embrace this and appreciate the geekiness involved.
We need folks who live in or near (and can pretend to live in) these districts to be calling their congresspeople and telling them that rich folks don’t need no stinkin tax cut.
The one thing that got me through the depressing periods of January and February were Tim’s calling threads. Let’s do it again to get through this period.

That is good entertainment. Nothing complicated, but good stories, well written and an excellent cast. Show kicks off Season 4 better than it left off. Very few TV shows can claim that (Mad Men, Curb, any others?).
In response to Eric Boehlert’s assertion that the right wing media has no adult supervision, Chris Matthews said, “what about John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, who have lived their lives in the center?”
yeah, I had the misfortune to hear that while I was fixing dinner. Was kind of clinging to the hope that maybe I heard it wrong. “Center? Boehner and McConnell? Naah, not even Tweety could be THAT stoopid….”
GOD that man is an asshole. The problem is that once every 25 shows or so, he turns his assholedom on some truly reprehensible target, and then he seems remotely tolerable again, so that the vicious cycle of leaving the channel on Hardball while fixing dinner begins anew.
The electronic lynch mob that has attacked and harassed me — you should see the emails sent to me personally!

Why don’t you tell us a-fucking-gain what you used to do in Irish-American politics when you were just a working class kid again and how this describes all American politics today?
Also, a Republican New York Congressional candidate specifically, literally endorses the need for EUGENICS to keep all the darkies from infecting our kids and diluting our precious white bodily fluids with their Mandingo / Old Spice sexual allure, which was caused by school integration, as proven by what happens to finches adopted by other species.
The problem with this is that some liberal will bring the notion of ‘race’ into it and therefore play the race card to destroy our ability to hold a good conversation about race, and maybe de-integrating the schools and for best effect sterilizing the darkies.
