Ok, I didn't watch last night and I don't know when that pic up there is from, but Jesus Christ. Why didn't I appreciate this woman when I was like 15? Has she actually gotten more attractive now that she's 48 or whatever?
MP needs to find some interesting characters immediately. We already know Augie and Lipsyncha are going, but the blond guy and the doctor/whore are boresville as well. The "normal" couple are boring, but they are supposed to be, so they should stay. The only interesting character, at least from a nighttime soap perspective, is the lesbian "bitch." A character like Christian Siriano would be a great addition. Someone with a mysterious quasi-military role would be interesting. Likewise, a Persian JAP. And make it more like David Lynch's Mullholland Drive.
@jimstoic: Is she actually a lesbian? Might have missed something, but I just figured from last night's girl/girl snog that she's just someone who knows which cards to play and when.
@terrible: I'm pretty sure she's supposed to be bi; she obviously enjoys the males, as evidenced by her love for the boring man, but they also had her hooking up with a girl at a party in one of the earliest episodes.
So, which is it? Heather Locklear increases Melrose ratings by 15% last night and it's a dismal failure. Jay Leno is up 5% and Wow!
As I recall, she is credited with saving the show the first time round when ratings were low. I highly doubt she did it overnight - after but one appearance.
@shle896: I guess it depends on the numbers you're starting out with, but fifteen percent seems like a decent percentage to me. Give Amanda a little more credit!
Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden
apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden
Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.
And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden
@Motoko Kusanagi: From where I'm standing, it would appear to be a positive correlation. It's a good day when I get tripped up by fewer than five unresponsive scripts, infinite waits for comments to load or what have you. #joebiden
@Motoko Kusanagi: Oh yeah, I didn't mean to quibble. I agree that the site gets fancier all the time, but features seem to break often. I should have added before that it could well be my OS and browser causing headaches most readers don't experience. And in all fairness, I haven't been reading long enough to judge contemporary content against the past. #joebiden
Not sure what point you're trying to make, Amrita... that you think Cheney's worldview makes some sense? That Cheney was initially popular, before everything he did brought his popularity rating to a low of 28%? I love it that Biden is willing to call a moron a moron. This is a ridiculous post. #joebiden
Oh, and if you're trying to poke fun at Vice Prez Biden for weeping during the debate when he spoke about his first wife and baby daughter who died, well then, that's just messed up. #joebiden
@Conchie Birdie: One might argue that it was the worst kind of political hackdom for him to bring them up expressly to show his "empathy" side and try to squeeze a tear out of his plastic-surgeryized eye slots. #joebiden
I'm absolutely NOT a supporter of ANYTHING Dick says... but, Good Lawwd, Biden, Bin Laden will always BE a part of the issue. I'm sorry, I guess if you had the prez saying this I could understand... but, uh, Joe? Nope.
That being said, why are we posting crap from Fox News anyway - I thought we weren't supposed to take this stuff seriously? #joebiden
@matukonyc: He answers to that in the blog post. As someone who doesn't know much about AA, I found the post to be really informative. For example, I didn't realize you don't have to be religious to be a member of AA. Cut the guy some slack. It's a choice.
@matukonyc: It's anonymous in that you are not supposed to reveal the identities of others. But you can and in fact are encouraged to share your personal experience in AA with others in order to possibly help someone else get help.
I'm glad that California has discussed the revenue advantages of legalization and I think the "Rainbow Collective" has come up with a fine promotion.
It's nice that the dispensary found a magazine willing to distribute their coupons, but as a pro-reform person who's willing to at least settle for medical marijuana, I kind of have to worry about the way these things might reflect upon the movement as a whole.
Says some future politician in BFE: "Californians can get free dope like it's fries from McDonalds."

Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden
