It’s moments like this:
Yes my inner geek is really shining today, it’s been highly repressed for a bit.
Update: Is there a line better than “Basically, RUN!”?
Update 2: Yes I had to use a 2nd video the first one was pulled.

Dr. Who The Eleventh Hour My thoughts.

As you might have expected rather than wait till the 17th for the US broadcast (which might be cut a bit) my son of course set up a proxy server and we watched the first adventure of the 11th doctor together.
Considering that you can find it online it seems odd to worry about spoilers but I will say the following The story was excellent. The characters were enjoyable, the plot-line really worked, there is a big bonus for us old timers.
The details (and spoilers) are after the jump (more…)
Given the choice between Tom Friedman talking about Global warming on CNN…

…and the Three Stooges on WSBK.
Moe Larry & Curley win every time, at least the stooges unlike Friedman are only pretending to be fools.
Update: Anna Marie Cox compares Code Pink to the tea parties with a straight face on Reliable Sources, David “I’m the only true conservative” Frum and Craig Crawford of don’t call her on it and of course Howie Kurtz doesn’t either.
It takes a certain amount of ignorance and dishonesty to make this comparision, it is this combination of errors that have caused CNN’s audience…
…and of course they are going to play up the NYT Pope stuff, I’m torn between the desire to just listen to my Tom Bakers and to see if he challenges the Times at all (HA).
Update 2: Well the panel will be the reporter from the times and Sally Quinn! Absolutely no chance of anything truthful here, time for Tom Baker. Enjoy last place CNN.
Ya gotta love someone who is honorable like Neal McDonough…

…who actually lives his religion:
when he was suddenly replaced with David James Elliott 3 days into the filming on ABC’s new series Scoundrels earlier this week, there had to be a story behind the story. The move was officially explained as a casting change. But, in fact, McDonough was sacked because of his refusal to do some heated love scenes with babelicious star (and Botox pitchwoman) Virginia Madsen. The reason? He’s a family man and a Catholic, and he’s always made it clear that he won’t do sex scenes.
According to the article this is costing him as much as $1 million dollars. There are plenty of men who would happily do heated love scenes with Virginia Madsen for nothing, but some people just can’t be bought.
Gawker makes an interesting point:
I don’t know about Hollywood, but in the real world, being fired for refusing to take your shirt off and make out with someone is called sexual harassment!
In case you don’t know who he is:
And this is the woman he turned down:
I tip my fedora to him.
Update: Fancast calls him the “anti-tiger”
