Yahoo! News – U.S. channel apologises for Arafat interruption I should think so. I was happily watching the latest CSI:NY episode on TiVo, and we were in the last 5 minutes – the part where all the loose ends are tied up and the “twist” is revealed. And then the earth-shaking news that Arafat was dead (again, but for real this time) came on. Highly irritating, because they hadn’t yet revealed ALL of the plot twists, so I’m in the dark. Fortunately, they’ll repeat it tonight. Must verify that TiVo will pick up on it. For some reason, David and…

At least one person I know is having a bad day, (in a series of bad days) today. So I give you all The Llama Song. HTH, HAND, ROTFLMAO.

Serenity’s Nathon Fillion does a little press for the upcoming film on Sci Fi Wire: As for his acting style, Fillion said, “I haven’t made any drastic changes or anything. I have noticed that my nose is a lot bigger on screen. It’s like, there are times when if you could put your arms up, that’s about how wide my nostrils are. I’ve always known I have big nostrils, but now I could park a Buick in them.” The above quote is a good indicator of why Nathan Fillion is one of the funniest actors in “the industry.” Also one…

Ready? It’s called the “Predict Headlines From Bush’s 2nd Term Game.” The rules are encapsulated by the game’s name, and the playground is the Comments box. “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me!”‘s Adam Felber suggests a fun group activity to keep us occupied while he gallivants around to weddings and other lifestyle events of the not-rich and not-very-famous. A short sampling: Jesus Returns – Says, “This isn’t what I had in mind.” CONGRESS PASSES REALITY BAN HIGH COURT RULES LIFE BEGINS ON “THIRD DATE” He’s in better spirits now that he got his concession screed off his chest. Tomorrow’s show is…

For those of you dreaming of a White Christmas, you could have one every year if the Blue states seceded and joined Canada. In exchange, they get Maui Canada, Disney Canada, and a whole lot more hockey teams. They’re not sure about the football teams, since there’d be some compromise involved. Click the image for the full story. Hey, it could work. UPDATE: The folks over at Salon. com have posted some tips on emigrating, but that seems a bit extreme. At least our Canadian friends (and more than a few Australian ones as well) have been supportive (ooh la…

You’d better believe I’m listening live to Air America Radio today. I’ve been watching the Sundance 1-hour highlights shows for the last couple of weeks rather than trying to listen online at work. I’m becoming quite a fan of Katherine Lanpher, who has the most unfettered laugh in radio. Her job on the show is to keep Al on track and to pipe up when she finds an update or a correction online, and also when she has the occasional difference of opinion with Al. She also asks good questions of their guests. And of course, she’s a good sport…

Yes, the broadcast date of the 6th installment of The Amazing Race is November 16, and the CBS site has been updated with team profiles. After learning a lesson about not forming too many opinions on people before the premiere airs (that is, I tended to dismiss the TAR4 Klowns until I felt the Klown Luv and realized they were terrific, fun racers), I won’t say much. However, what’s with the woman in the red pullover and the “lookit my boobs!” pose? Oh, right, she’s a model. The professional wrestlers kind of bug me, but who knows? They might turn…
