One of the worst TV shows I’ve ever seen

Yes, Outsourced is as bad as you might expect and as offensive as this writer says (we are watching it on DVR and I’m not sure why).

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a poem being converted to film — aside from the major epics like Beowulf or The Odyssey. But Howl — based on this interview — looks like it will blaze some new ground.

Steve King protests too much

Steve King, the Iowa Republican, is not a happy camper (see TPM). Stephen Colbert is the cause, the Megyn Kelly is King’s enabler. And buried within this clip is something the anti-immigrant right needs to address: The notion that illegals are taking American jobs, as if Americans are clamouring to work the fields and clean toilets.

What Colbert did was unmask the GOP by wearing his mask. It was a stellar performance, when you get down to it.

Rolling Stone gives props to PREX

Rolling Stone lists the Princeton Record Exchange among the top 25 places in the country to find vinyl. And, yes, I wholeheartedly agree.
