The red of annoyance is a primary colour

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…

Olbermann’s backbone still MIA

Judge grants Kucinich entry to NV debate (AP via Yahoo! News) If you were watching Countdown tonight, then Keith Olbermann did, in fact, inform you of this decision, as well as the fact that NBC was going to appeal it.

Doubtless I’m missing all number of…

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…

Piles of piles

Several months ago, it was hard not to notice just how many piles of entertainment media I had in my room. These piles had started accumulating a little over a year ago as my time just got completely sapped up with finishing my MA, but even after graduating I noticed that the piles just kept getting bigger and bigger. It wasn’t that I didn’t have free time, but I lacked the initiative to go through them for some reason. Granted, in some cases I was…
