"Supernatural" in the NYT →
Nice to see “Supernatural” getting mainstream press, but I find it hilarious that the article refers to fans being 15.  What, they started watching the show when they were 9?  I’d put the average age of a “Supernatural” fan at 24 to 30.  Pretty sure the writer didn’t do any research before throwing that age estimate out there. ETA: Per the Huffington Post, the...

Mike Huckabee: Illogical Moral Conservative? →
So this is the annoying thing for me: I totally get Mike Huckabee’s assertion that moral conservative behavior (such as, I don’t know, getting married before you have a baby) can also be economically conservative.  If you have to raise a child, it’s much easier with the pooled resources of two people than it is with one.  Absentee fatherism drives poverty figures.   But what in...

Donald Rumsfeld on The Daily Show?!!!

Help Nathan Buy Firefly →
There is now a site dedicated to helping Nathan Fillion buy (and re-start) Firefly as a fan-financed show.  It looks like the organizers are trying for a more pragmatic approach than simply hoping Mr. Fillion will win $340 million in the California lotto.

The B*S of BestBuy's Buy-Back Program →
I knew as soon as I saw the announcement for this program that it wasn’t going to be a revolutionary cost-saving opportunity, jut an “extended warranty,” essentially, re-packaged for a buying public that has soured on the idea of an add-on extended warranty.  No one has convinced me to buy an extended warranty on an external hard drive for years.  Still, Apple does always manage...
