Fifty-Seven and Counting...

Fifty-Seven. That's the number for now. Honestly, I thought this was a new trend ("The Office", "Worst Week Ever", "Coupling"...shudder); boy was I wrong. I guess it's all about perception, here I thought that "All in the Family" and "Three's Company" were as American as apple pie. They're actually as American as fish and chips! Then again, they were both solid shows (the latter is debatable) that spawned spin-offs like "Three's a Crowd" and "The Jeffersons"; insofar as pop culture and marketability, those shows were hits. I don't mind Steve Carrell in "the Office", but it reminds me way too much of the originally; Ricky Gervais will always be the boss from hell. Still, it's not a bad translation.

Of course, for every "Sanford & Son", there's a "Coupling".

Shudder...

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
