I, of course, am going to be monitoring TheMomCat’s Oscar live blog, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other choices available.

Amazing Race premier (I told you, I know a big fan).  Masterpiece Theater has Any Human Heart (also a premier).

Don’t you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we’re left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes and I live here.

I was thrown out of N.Y.U. my freshman year for cheating on my metaphysics final, you know. I looked within the soul of the boy sitting next to me.

Not so many premiers, last week’s Amazing Race (I know a fan).  Pursuit of Happyness (their spelling not mine).  Austin City Limits has Allen Toussaint.

Mets tied their first pre-season game against the Braves 5 – 5 with a 2 run homer by Willie Harris in the 10th.  Yes, they just aclled it at 10.  Lady Huskies clinched the regular season Big East title with a win at Georgetown 52 – 42 (it was closer than that).

No Fate.

• Vs.– Bullriding
• VH1– What’s Love Got to Do With It

What do you think you are, for Chrissake, crazy or somethin’? Well you’re not! You’re not! You’re no crazier than the average asshole out walkin’ around on the streets and that’s it.

We all know that the images we see can elicit strong emotional reactions. But I always wondered, can the images we see do more than hurt us emotionally? Is it possible to see something so bad that it actually hurts you physically? In other words, can too much black television kill you?

SNL from 11/20/10.

Boondocks– Riley Wuz Here.  The Venture Brothers– Return to Spider-Skull Island.

There is a television behind the El Greco. Sadly, the remote has vanished from the material sphere! So it’s stuck on Animal Planet.

…

What is…

That’s Doc’s deformed twin brother he absorbed in the womb, who’s come back for revenge. But now they’ve made up, so…

Lots of premiers, none worth watching.  I mean, when Faux starts recycling Food Network reality shows how low can you sink?

You don’t understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let’s face it.

Johnny Fontane never gets that movie. That part is perfect for him. It’ll make him a big star. I’m gonna run him out of the movies. And let me tell you why. Johnny Fontane ruined one of Woltz International’s most valuable proteges. For three years we had her under contract, singing lessons, dancing lessons, acting lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was gonna make her a big star. And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I’m not a hard-hearted man, that it’s not all dollars and cents. She was beautiful, she was innocent, she was the greatest piece of ass I’ve ever had, and I’ve had it all over the world. And then Johnny Fontane comes along with his olive oil voice and guinea charm and she runs off. She threw it all away just to make me look ridiculous. And a man in my position can’t afford to be made to look ridiculous. Now you get the hell out of here. And you tell that gumba that if he wants to try any rough stuff that I ain’t no band leader. Yeah, I heard that story.

Thank you for the dinner and a very pleasant evening. Have your car take me to the airport. Mr Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news at once.

1 Kadhafi set for battle of Tripoli

Tomorrow, Saturday, starting at noon there will be solidarity rallies for Wisconson workers at every Statehouse in America as well as some other locations.  Moveon.org has this handy tool that will help you find one close to you.

If you happen to have a cheesehead it would certainly be appropriate and how many times can you say that?  Moveon suggests Badger colors (red and white) perhaps because red is a labor color, I don’t think Packer green and gold would be out of place either (they are unionized and currently in negotiations with management).

I do seriously encourage any who can to take the time and attend.  It is my hope that this will be as large as the demonstrations in favor of immigration and against the war in Iraq.

Thank you in advance.
