Palin vs. Hillary: The Reckoning
One of the few times SNL gets seriously funny occurred this past weekend. Watch Tina Fey and Amy Poehler pretty much nail Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton, and tell me that Tina doesn’t look uncannily like Palin.

Be afraid. Be very…very…afraid…
Time to hark back to the days of yore, the 1960’s and 70’s, when celebrity vanity was in its infancy, an age of innocence and horror all wrapped up in a cloying “cannot…look…away…” vibe.
For your edification and amusement, our first sample. It was very nice of someone to find appropriate imagery to accompany what once never had video…
Consider that there is an entire album of this, and then crawl into a closet to die.
It seems that good pals were rivals as well, for Leonard’s friend Bill had to release an album too…gods help us all.
Again, audio with someone’s later creative efforts to dull the impact of that voice…
This means war, Shatner! Behold the power of Tolkien, wielded by Spock!
“Nice try, Leonard, but Taupin and I will destroy you and the go-go girls and hobbits!”
And once again, the devil Shatner proves his might, our eardrums and eyeballs bleeding in abject surrender. Nimoy slinks off into that closet to join us all in curling up into slowly dying balls of flesh.
Bending like a Reid in the wind…
It seems I’m not the only one who saw Senator Harry Reid on the Daily Show this past week and was struck by how he was one of the worst interviews ever on the show.
At the very beginning of the interview, I could barely hear the man, and he seemed so very out of place on a show so rife with wit. And then he had the temerity to whine about how he was disappointed that the Democratic Majority in the Senate and House couldn’t get anything done.
Is he completely oblivious to the fact that it’s no one’s fault but the Democrats? Are he and his majority still stuck in the past where they were the whipping boys of Bush and his Republican sycophants? I would say so, as he sure looked and sounded completely whipped.
Stewart tried gamely to energize Reid, but was ultimately unable to give life to the corpse.
See for yourselves:
This is getting good…
Last night, after the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel one-upped Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon. I don’t think there’s any way those two can beat this one…
…but I’d love to see them try.
The Harrison Ford cameo pretty much puts it over the top.
What if…?
Would that I could live in the alternate universe suggested by this article from SF Signal, where science fiction writers and lovers are in charge of Hollywood. Several interesting takes on how to fix Hollywood, as well as where we stand right now in regards to Science Fiction television and film.
While the article might not be of especial interest to all my readers, I had to point it out, simply for John C. Wright’s declaration:
“Okay, maybe I would order them to put Firefly back on the air.”
Amen, brother, amen.
