Sorry I missed this Friday, but in a short B-Cast from Vegas, Scott Baker excoriates Tim Robbins (in his low-key way) for pandering to his audience at the National Association of Broadcasters, who yuck it up over his mean-spirited and self-satisfied tripe dished up as insightful cultural commentary. Dude looks like the cat who swallowed the moa. Geez. I wonder why the industry’s in a death spiral, what, with all

Excitable Andy is very excited to see video of Pennsylvania Gov. (and Hillary Clinton backer) Ed Rendell heaping praise on the Nation of Islam, proclaiming it evidence of a racial double-standard. Aside from the fact that Obama is not going to raise this, lest everyone be reminded that his church’s newsletter gave Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award, Michael Goldfarb responds: First off, let me just say that I condemn unequivocally Rendell’s

All three presidential candidates are scheduled to make taped appearances on tonight’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.  The Politico’s Ben Smith has the video.  First, I am shocked that Obama is not taking the opportunity to tell the approximately five million viewers that they are rubes who cling to pro wrestling because of bad US economic policy.  Second, this is clearly a misstep by all three candidates.  The WWE audience is used

Rachel Lucas on that briar patch: Throw in a little withholding of sex and affection, and a nice dose of public humiliation with an article on MSNBC about what a dumbass he is, and you, too, will

Nora Ephron, who carved a career in movies by successfully aping Woody Allen in her screenplay for When Harry Met Sally, is vexed: Here’s another thing I don’t like about this primary: now that there are only two Democratic candidates, it’s suddenly horribly absolutely crystal-clear that this is an election about gender and race. This may have always been true, but weeks ago it wasn’t so obvious — once upon
