Science marches on. CBS news reports "a new study by British scientists finds that women tend to be more attracted, or in some cases turned off, by the way a man can dance." See the video.

This was a scientific study, the world is told, and was not done just to provide employment to idle minds. The idea was to find which male dance moves appeal to the female. Why? To discover the best mating dance? Why?

So the best dancers can mate? And the human species will weed out the wall flowers? So that men can know what to do on the dance floor? So? Well, why not? This is science? Scientists must know everything, correct?

Sharron AngleSharron AngleSharron Angle, the Tea-Party-GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from Nevada is out of her mind with her notion that it is proper to apply 2nd Amendment remedies to political problems. The lady is calling for the use of guns to settle domestic political disputes. This is koo koo land stuff. She keeps defending the right of people whom are upset with their elected political officials to turn the guns on them, literally.

Last night Rachel Maddow asked this question, "What is over the line?" in politics these days. From the transcript --

Haley BarbourHaley BarbourThe white Mississippi Governor, Republican Governors Association (RGA) Chairman Haley Barbour, gave a back hand slap across the face of that African-American guy, Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC). He said --"We have to come up with about $10 million that normally would have been pushed into the governors' races by the RNC, largely through state parties."

No, this isn't a racial story. This is a blame the black guy story.

Yes, yes, yes! If the Democrats are going to win in November, winning means holding on to the House and Senate, the current President of the United States has to channel the strength of a past President of the United States. Mr. Obama needs to be Harry Truman, and go straight at the GOP. Show Democratic strength by reminding America of just how weak Republican ideas and proposals are.

Yesterday in Ohio, a state that suffered when Republicans held power, and that suffering has not stopped, because the GOP, with the filibuster in the Senate, has made it difficult goings to get in place the programs that will reboot the economy.

In the Ohio speech, Mr. Obama was a fighting Harry Truman.

All Old Mr Truman did was to stand tall and to tell the truth on the Republicans. The American people heard and listened and voted accordingly.

Alaska Republicans had their primary and Sen. Lisa Murkowski was run over by Joe Miller, who is riding in the Tea Party Express bus, and the Republican establishment in Washington, regretting Ms. Murkowski loss, but fearful that if they didn't pronounce her politically dead and welcome the Tea Party favorite boy Joe, the Tea Party Express bus might ride over them too, so they pronounced her dead and welcomed him.

But Ms Murkowski is saying that she was blindsided by that bus, sent stumbling, but, she wasn't knocked out.

Interpol: Self-Titled

After four albums it's abundantly clear that Interpol will never sound quite like they did on their stellar debut Turn On The Bright Lights, nor will they ever sound all that different from it, either. The band's recent self-titled record (and last with bassist Carlos Dengler) finds Interpol struggling to capture something elusive, some mix of intensity and otherworldly beauty. Mostly they lean on the same conventions that have served them their entire career. As with Antics and Our Love To Admire, if you didn't like Interpol right out of the gate you won't change your mind with this album. Likewise, if you've stuck with the band through all of their work, you'll probably enjoy Interpol just fine.

Terriers: Pilot

Be the First to Comment!

Ted Griffin's new FX detective show Terriers goes back to the well Raymond Chandler dug all those years ago. It takes the sun-drenched, infinitely suburban labyrinth of southern California and superimposes all the darkness and irony of classic noir onto it. Its heroes, two shaggy, unlicensed PI's, are only slightly more law-abiding than the villains they investigate and their luck is only strong enough to keep them from getting killed. Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James star as Hank and Britt, a former cop and his young friend, respectively. They strike an interesting pair, not so perfectly tailored that they feel too intentionally matched. Neither one is "the smart one", nor does one feel like a sidekick. It'll take a little while to flesh these two characters out so we can see just how they got together in the first place. For now, it's just fun to follow them through a series of scrappy mysteries.
