As I've written before, I'm no "Desparate Housewives" fan, but last night's episode was particularly atrocious.
a) Via music choices and the housewives' reaction, the show was explicitly making fun of -- making fun of! -- Rex's mother crying over her son's death. I mean, c'mon: Just because Bree was ultra-composed doesn't the mean the opposite alternative is distasteful or worthy of scorn.
b) Zach's dead! Ha ha ha, no, it's just some completely different kid who was confused with Zach for no particular reason.
c) Do not get me started with the dungeon. It might have worked had Mark "It's a satire!" Cherry been creating a farce (a la "Arrested Development") rather than a semi-serious soap opera, but the first season makes it clear the show is very much the latter camp.
I do not like this show. Headmaster Charleston can do better.
On the other hand, the pre-credits sequence for "The West Wing" was the most heartwarming scene the show's had since the Aaron Sorkin days, and the rest of the episode -- particularly Josh's rebuke to Donna -- was encouraging in its intensity. Choosing between a half-hour of "Simpsons" and an hour of "West Wing" might be tough this year.

Due to your boredom, I will try to keep my Fantasy Football posts to a minimum...
...but I do want to opine that I apparently shouldn't have taken Payton with the first pick in the entire league draft. Despite his mediocrity, however, I'm still 2-1 unless Kansas City scores oodles of points tonight.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
