The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia

Is Smallville the last show with a theme song?

Addendum (11/20):
True Blood has a (great) theme song, but has the HBO luxury of 51 minute episodes with no advertising breaks.

Update 2: (11/28)
Psych has a true theme song (written for the show with the show name in the lyric)!

The New York times has a great graphic outlining some of the changes in the electorate.

Extremely powerful:

Pretty fascinating, watching the debate (rerun) on CNN with the instant audience reaction graphing. Important to note the data displayed: “uncommitted Ohio voters” with graph tracking men and women averaged separately.
Nuclear power seems to turn everyone off. The worst reactions I saw consistently. Obama gets consistently more positive reactions than McCain. Negitive reactions across the board when either candidate attacked the other. Positive reactions to exposition of actual facts from either
Naturally, the display forces one to think about the differences in “men” and “women” reactions. There seems to be some tendencies of the W to dial their displeasure about what is being said, while M were dialing positively that it was being said. W seem to react more positively than M to military talk from Obama. But both love him talking about Afghanistan. McCain nearly flatlined on the same topic. They like him (McC) a lot on Putin and Russia, though. (a lot of strait exposition) O not as strong on eastern europe, especially men. M don’t like O saying Russia dangerous. M like a lot McC saying he thinks we can work with them. M not excited by most of O life story (warming to it in the end), but W loving it. Both start very positive to McC, and they loved the bullshit ending…

Of course, with this small singular sample, in no way chosen or weighted to be representative of M/W the data is slightly dubious.`

Much of the kind of logistic support that Barak suggests that we should offer in Darfor are the once military functions that have been privatized.

What is the war that John McCain “won”?

Here a Republican defeated by the Club for Growth in the primary endorses the Democratic candidate in a great “post-partisan” ad (ripped from Dkos’s MissLaura):

While I’m stealing things from Dk, Commenting on a piece of Palinology on the evenings’ Katie Couric piece, Gooch speculates on how she would answer if asked how she spells her name:

Oh, you know… pretty much the way you would. It’s a very common name, you know, not — I mean a lot of people have heard one like it. I spell it the same way I always, the way my mother taught me, just like you and everybody else. There’s this, you know, crazy perception that we, Alaska, you know we spell just like everyone does. It’s not this strange foreign country unlike Washington. But, you know, like, I, you know, I get it–this gotcha journalism we all have to deal with these days. Plus, you know I can see that Russian guy in the morning from where I live. Nkay?

Pierce is dead on about The Who Sell Out. “I Can See For Miles” is, perhaps, the Best Single Recording of All Time, but, oh man, when it is set up the album!! (Was it Pearlman in Crawdaddy who came up with “turkey tongueing?”

And, by the way, isn’t Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild a member of the Billionaires for Bush troop?

OMG the Country First RNC video (narration by Robert Duvall) was ALL white people, except one black man with a number across his chest!!!

The Republicans won’t react directly to Obama’s speech because they are going to continue to baldly state that Barak is only trafficking in vague generalities. They will continue to ignore any detailed statements that the Obama campaign releases (as they have steadfastly done so far).
