Roger Ebert's Journal: Finding my own voice
Computers can do just about everything these days, from running airplanes to carrying out labyrinthine mathematical calculations.
Garrison Keillor: Swashbucklers report nation's temperature
You know it's going to be a difficult day when you wake up with "Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera, Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera" going around and around in your head and it won't stop. You know that probably you should not tackle health-care reform today, though brainlessness has not stopped other people from weighing in on it.
Josh Indar: Review of "Idiot America" by Charles P. Pierce
Pierce goes a step beyond mere portraiture, however, positing his "Three Great Premises" which have allowed American idiocy to thrive over the last 100 years or so. Premise One: Any theory is valid if it moves units or otherwise makes money. Premise Two: Anything can be true if it is said loudly enough. Premise Three: Fact is that which enough people believe.
Will Harris: A Chat with the cast of "Mad Men" (bullz-eye.com)
"The culture and the attitudes of the United States at that time are shifting, and these people have to deal with what that shift entails. Not only in their own lives, but in how they deal with their coworkers, how they deal with their workspace, how they deal with their relationshipshow they deal with all of that."--John Hamm
Manson Family member Leslie Van Houten, sentenced to Life in prison for her role in the LaBianca murders, is eligible to apply for parole later this month. She has been denied parole 17 times. Many people, including film maker John Waters (
John Waters: Leslie Van Houten: A Friendship, Part 1 of 5 ), are advocating for her release. She reportedly has been a model prisoner completing all available prison programs and assisting other inmates with these programs. She has earned two college degrees and has maintained a clean disciplinary record. She has accepted full responsibility for her actions...

Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman and George Wendt are the only actors to appear in every episode of the TV series CheersSource
Charlie was first, and correct, with:
Rhea Perlman
Joe S replied:
I'm going to throw out a guess and say Rhea Perelman, Carla
mj responded:
It's one of two
Either John Ratzenberger (Cliff the postman) or Rhea Perlman (Carla the barmaid). I'm going with John since I think "Carla" was off screen for one of her "deliveries".

OK, this must be either John Ratzenberger or Rhea Pearlman.
I'm going to say Pearlman (didn't Cliff's Mother make some appearances in his stead?).

Yesterday (Wednesday) I had just about given up hope that you had found a fix for your ftp/computer problem. So, just before I headed outside to view the Meteor Shower at midnight, I checked 'one more time'. And there you were! But I spent way too long looking at the night sky to open the page up and read it when I came back inside, so left it for today (Thursday). Was delighted to see that you seem to really have a 'fix'. Was also delighted to see 4 'shooting stars', one very large and low helicopter, one very high jet, and numerous lightning bugs. Cats sat on the other side of the screen door and hammered and banged on it . . . "What are you doing out there???"

Subject: Frasier Theme
Technically speaking, the television show, Frasier, did not have a theme song; or more specifically opening theme music. The little ditty sung at the end of the show, Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs, is what is called in the industry as the Closing Credits music. The show, and it was the first to do so, started with a few throwaway musical notes and then went right into the show.
This device was designed to get the show started and hook the viewer before their feeble little mind could muster up enough electricity to operate their thumb on the remote.
And it worked.
It also facilitated the stuffing of more commercials in the time slot and it allowed the commercials to start sooner.
