Are you frakking kidding me? According the Washington Post, the FCC is now looking to expand their powers to include being able to regulate violence on television including cable. Says FCC Chairman Kevin Martin: “Parents are always the first and last line of defense in protecting their children, but legislation could give parents more tools. I think it would be better if the industry addressed this on its own, but we can also give parents help through regulation.” Yeah, you know what the only tool a parent needs is? The power button on the remote control. It’s a very simple equation: Don’t let your 8 year old son watch 24. Also don’t put a TV in your 8 year old sons bedroom. And finally raise your 8 year old son in such a way where he realizes the difference between fantasy and reality. I know this is a very tough thing to do but if we just put the effort in, perhaps we don’t need the FCC completely overstepping its bounds. But won’t someone please think of the children!?

Just seems strange to put someone as high profile as her in that role.
Also this kicks ass:

Beginning to have Veronica Mars withdrawal. Please CW, please pick it up next year.
The sad part about playing Trivial Pursuit is realizing that the only questions I’m good at getting are the music ones. Still damn proud of nailing the Mark Knopler one though. (Also if the term “punk rocker” is used, the answer is Sid Vicious. And if the question asks for a continent, 9 times out of 10 the answer is
Until next time:
“Jim, could you please inform Andy Bernard that he is being shunned.”
“Andy, Dwight says welcome back, and he could use a hug.”
“Ok, tell him that’s not true.”
“Dwight says that he actually doesn’t know one single fact about bear attacks.”
“Ok, no, Jim, tell him that bears can climb faster than they can run! Jim, tell him!”
“Andy... no it’s too far.”
“Damn you!”
