I can’t say that I’ve been all that pleased with all the airplay that Bill O’Reilly’s meltdown on Inside Edition has gotten these past few weeks. Granted, I don’t care for O’Reilly much at all, and I won’t deny feeling a touch of the old schadenfreude when I saw the video the first few times. The video got really old in a hurry for me, though, and the more I see other people harp on it over and over — Keith Olbermann is the most…
It says something about this election campaign that the candidate I’m most appreciative of right now is Mitt Romney, as his withdrawl from the Republican nomination means I’ll only have about half as many candidate spots on my television to deal with leading up to Ohio’s primary next month. Ohio doesn’t look to be in play for Huckabee, and by the time Ohio rolls around I think Huckabee’s momentum will be completely drained so McCain won’t have any real need to buy more but a…

Doubtless I’m missing all number of…
Bam! Emeril Leaves Food Network (mediabistro.com) I had heard a while ago that Emeril had planned to leave Food Network, or at least discontinue Emeril Live, and I’ve been pained to see Food Network begin to transition to Alton Brown as the "face" of the network. I haven’t watched Emeril regularly since before the fire, but back when I first got DirecTV in the late 90’s Emeril Live was probably the show I watched the most back then. Mom owns several of his cookbooks, and…
