TV wins the decade

·

The aughts have been kind to television. When we look back three or four decades from now, I think this will be thought of as the best run in the medium’s history. Every single one of our top 10 and many of our top 20 would be found on any “best of all time” lists.

Reducto ad Hitlerum

·

Look again and see the real fear that religious profiling can create. Profiling should only exist for the greater sake of the community and should target individuals who pose a real threat; looking for danger because of religious affiliation is asinine.

English schmenglish

·

There’s a perfectly logical reason as to why the U.S. hasn’t adopted an official language in our 233-year history – we don’t need one, just like we don’t need an official religion or soda pop.

Health care TV ads uninformative

·

So far the debate about health care has been a boon for television advertising in the states of pivotal lawmakers, including Indiana. None of that money is being spent on ads that move debate in a more informed direction.

Fans show support, yell profanity during white-out

·
