I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If an athlete doesn't have a disease or a maimed relative, are they not allowed in the Olympics?

How solid was the case againts Tonya's ex? I'm beginning to think NBC set the whole thing up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I saw a preview for Thank You For Smoking at the movies today, and there was a funny bit between Aaron Eckhart as the smoking lobbyist and Rob Lowe as the movie producer. Eckhart is saying they need a big hero to smoke in a movie. Lowe says they have a big space movie coming up, would that work? Eckhart says, "But wouldn't that be a problem in full oxygen? Wouldn't it, you know, explode?" Lowe says, "You have a point. But that's an easy fix -- one line in the script. 'Aren't you glad we have the ...whatever... now?'."

Made me laugh, anyway.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Jesse, I want badly to see that movie. I remember that line making me smile.

And it has Seth Cohen! The rest of it might get me over my general dislike of Aaron Eckhart, which is really entirely a function of the movies he made with that odious man whose name I can't remember.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

From last week's Week of Dressing Dangerously- I think the dresser lost her mind with the third outfit (the childlike one).

Would someone PLEASE go and lay Dick Button?

You'd be doing everyone a favor.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think there was a Dick Cheney joke in that last skating routine, with the safety orange costume and the birds chirping at the start of the music.

Seriously.

Get me a ticket to Italy and I'll give him a hand job.

Sasha Cohen must be learning job interview skills. "What's your biggest weakness?" "Well, I'm just such a perfectionist...." @@
