QI: American Prison Population

Mike B. — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:33:23 +0000

I love watching QI (a British game/quiz/infotainment show):

Viewing our current penal system from an outside perspective is healthy, and their reactions during the three strikes discussion is both entertaining and enlightening.

Friday Night Lights

The final "Friday Night Lights" episode aired this past weekend. To celebrate we went over to Tim and Emily's house after putting our kids to sleep. We even dressed for the event:

Good times, good times.

It's like playing "Where's Waldo" in real life:

His name is Jesse Heinman, but to me he will always be "that guy."

This is a bit old, but it still cracks me up:

Libby LOVED watching "Dancing with the Stars" and always tried to imitate all of their moves.

Fox News Ignoring Reality… Again

Mike B. — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:48:10 +0000

I don't understand how people watch Fox news and think they are getting unbiased information. Hannity and Gingrich are lying; there is simply no other word for it. It's malicious and wrong.

“Crazy Expensive” Comedy Bits by Conan

Mike B. — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:49:56 +0000

God, I love Conan. Evil Genius? Comedy Genius? Boy Genius? Yes.

.. the only catch? It was 2004. I wish we had the old 2004 Jay Leno back:

Man, Leno was so classy back then.

Jimmy Kimmel Destroys Leno

I love this show. This kid has his best birthday ever:

Jon Stewart on Fox Polls and Faux Anti-Intellectualism

Mike B. — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 05:01:33 +0000

A poll that adds up to 120% and Gretchen Carlson - high school valedictorian, honors graduate from Stanford, attended Oxford - having to lookup words like "ignoramus" and "czar". Is Gretchen just acting unintellectual?
