If you want to get in on a little moment in media history, watch the Dennis Miller Show on CNBC before it’s canceled. It’s a valiant attempt to skewer the Bush-hating left with humor that’s failing to find an audience. The problem is that Dennis’ hip humor, laden with pop-culture references, is lost on the [...]
Bush-haters’ criticisms of the liberation of Iraq tend to follow scripts. One common complaint was first voiced by Wesley Clark at the beginning of his ill-fated but highly amusing run for the nomination, to the effect that Iraq was a “distraction” from the war on terror that actually emboldened the terrorists at the same time [...]
The Epicurious web site has spawned a TV show, arguably the worst cooking show ever. In this week’s episode the bone-head chef made a so-called Philly cheese steak with Provolone instead of Cheez-Whiz and so-called Texas chili with water insead of beer.
The FCC should fine this program for indecent content.

Tme Magazine’s not exactly a part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, but they’re not at all impressed with Richard Clarke’s increasingly shrill shilling for his book:

Turning the Tide replaces Protein Wisdom as the world’s funniest blog thanks to posts like this one:
People in the more civilized sectors of the world (what we call “the third world,” or the “developing countries”) often burst out laughing when they witness an election in which the choices are two men from very wealthy families [...]
Leave it to the brilliant Noam Chomsky to peer deep inside the brain of the Anglosphere and expose our fascist ways:
Political leaders in both Washington and London, which assisted in last year’s American-led invasion, insist that what they want to establish in Iraq is a government that answers to the wants, needs and goals of [...]
Forget Paul O’Neill and Dick Clarke; the Bush campaign is in real trouble now that Kerry’s got the most coveted endorsement in contemporary politics:
Noam Chomsky, the political theorist and leftwing guru, yesterday gave his reluctant endorsement to the Democratic party’s presidential contender, John Kerry, calling him “Bush-lite”, but a “fraction” better than his rival.

Forbes writer Stephen Manes isn’t impressed with Larry Lessig’s new book:
The intellectual property issue of our time is how to balance the rights of creators and consumers.
