Red Eye
Kerry Howley
some guy from some show
Drew Carey
Dave Weigel on Baltimore radio

And, the envelope says, "dumping ground for has-beens".

If Reason would like to be at least somewhat relevant to some people somewhere, let me suggest a) get a bit more wonky, and b) actually acknowledging the other side's arguments in an intellectually honest fashion.

If you haven't yet, find the time to watch The Wire. Easily the best show on TV.

Which one is Landsman again?

The wire is not only the best TV show ever, but maybe the greatest piece of "filmed entertainment" ever. Thats not hyperbole, but an honest assessment of TV and Movies.

the only show on fox news worth watching, and they run it at 3am.

"acknowledging the other side's arguments in an intellectually honest fashion."

So what do the rest of you think about Lonewacko's tired and stupid arguments?

Or for fuck's sake, does anyone have a lonewackjob filter? The endless self-obsessed, ego-maniacal, bitching about what reason should be covering, comical at first, is now wearing thin. Get the hell over yourself. If you think people here are more interested in anything you think than what reason is covering, and therefore it needs your help, you're more delusional than even your rantings would suggest (no mean feat). If reason isn't relevant enough or tolerant enough of other views for you, then do yourself, and much more importantly all the rest of us, a favor by finding a site to pollute that is more to your liking. Perhaps a "dumping ground for never-was's".

I watched DVDs one and 2 of season 1. Iliked the in-depth characterization, but didn't see an interesting plot-line developing. Should I have continued further?

sv | January 30, 2008, 5:23pm | #

jj: you should. it's a slow burn, and each season is like a piecemeal episode. you'll be glad you did trust me.

Kolohe | January 30, 2008, 5:48pm | #

jj:
ditto on what sv said. on retrospect, nothing really happens in the first four or five episodes of either season i've seen, then all of sudden everthing comes together.

Kerry is pretty cute. wish i lived in dc...well, maybe not.

If you want to read Lonewacko's ideas, you could always get his magazine. We have a copy over at URKOBOLD.

I'm current on The Wire (Season 5 on HBO). Season 2 is the only season that's not extraordinary -- and even it is better than every other show I've seen.

Landsman is one of the most detestable characters on TV.

And I occasionally watch Lou Dobbs.

I honestly acknowledge that he has stupid arguments.

Last night they mentioned Kerry Howley would be on and all the male panelists "howled."

That's obviously a fake. There's nothing in there about the temperature of Boston Market cornbread.

Now now, he's no Rawls.

According to one particularly gut-churning turn of phrase by the host of Red Eye, she's "so cute she sneezes marshmallows."

Why do I have the unsettling feeling there's a japanese porn site catering to that particular fetish?
