    I'm calling HBO and pitching The Late Shift 2: The Player. It's like The Late Shift meets The Player. I see Julia Roberts as Halderman. #davidletterman

    He may be able to get out of this. Nobody has enough facts yet, but he may be able to reasonably argue that the screenplay and "evidence" that he gave to Dave were merely items that any writer would need to successfully market the story. Offering Dave the first option to purchase the rights is not illegal because people do it every day. To wit, how many freelancers have sold stories about Harvey Weinstein to Harvey Weinstein?

    I emphasize it's still too early to tell, but Robert may have a reasonable defense.

    @saythatscool: This is true, although it was mentioned a wiretap was worn by somebody present during the "negotiations", to where Halderman must have said something with a little more threatening in tone to warrant them to formally press charges.

    C'mon, Smokinggun and TMZ, get busy!

    @saythatscool: Part of the problem is that some of the evidence includes sex tapes and photos that were taken by Letterman and stolen by the defendant...not so sure about the defense on that.

    For the life of me I could not understand why Greta had Sarah or some other Palin family member on her show ALL the time - sure makes sense now. Pretty classless, Greta - stick to OJ and Anna Nicole type stories - that is your wheel house!

    I don't get how they manage to recruit new members. I mean, are there people out there at this point who don't know that it's all about aliens and based on L. Ron's scifi novels? Do people think it is a legitimate church?

    @hurleyburley: People are actually weak and insecure when their careers and their lives have been molded around the idea that they are intelligent, special and spiritually whole. Politics and acting are the perfect breeding ground for cult activity. As sure as mushrooms grow in shit.

    @hurleyburley: I have heard that everybody who takes their personality tests has a low self-esteem, which suggests that they prey on people's weaknesses when it comes to their self-esteem.

    @Pope John Peeps II: That makes sense, and I can certainly see why people like that might be easy to manipulate once you get them in the door, but how do they get people to dispense with all skepticism and go to the first meeting/audit session/e-meter reading/whatever? I know an ex-scientologist and they got him when he was an insecure 19-year-old college kid. They told him that the meetings were some sort of self-help thing and never mentioned anything about scientology, l. ron hubbard, dianetics, etc. until he was already brainwashed. I can't really see that working nowadays though, since there has been so much media coverage about the "religion" and how crazy it is.

    @hurleyburley: You get weak people to dispense with skepticism by saying things like "why don't you make up your OWN mind, and just hear us out, instead of listening to what others say." or "just decide for yourself what you think". You can never go wrong appealing to the insecure by stroking their ability to make up their own minds. Then when you have them listening to you, you prey on that weakness.


    The scientologists in my city aren't terribly active as far as I know, but they used to have a storefront that advertised "personality tests". So they'd put out signs that say things like "find out what kind of person you are". Of course, the only person who needs to know what kind of person they are is the kind of person who simply can't choose. A weak person, in other words.


    @AllegraBassus: Hmm? Churches aren't cults. There's a difference. If you belonged to a healhty church you'd understand.

    Congratulations, John Cook -- I think you just found the one thing about Sarah Palin that could possibly make her distasteful to the Christian right.


    I should mention that I don't buy the conspiracy-driven assumptions around it -- no way is Palin anti-war. Besides, I think she's too ambitious to be that crazy.
