"That Was My Vietnam. And I Was In Vietnam."

Modern Family makes me laugh until I hurt. In spite of the Emmy nominations and wins, Ed O'Neil is a fucking genius. And the second season is just as, if not more, brilliant than the first.

What Darwin Never Knew

NOVA's What Darwin Never Knew should be shown in every elementary classroom across this country. I put it on to casually view what I already knew; instead, I got sucked in and watched it from middle to end.

Sean B. Carroll is, in my opinion, one of the greatest science educators of our time. His books, and his explanations in this documentary, are simple and sublime.

I think I'm going to have to buy this one.



The religious always get evolution wrong: evolutionary theory explains the changes in biodiversity we observe in the past through the present. Every new post-Darwinian scientific discovery--from the rediscovery of Mendelian genetics, to the discovery of DNA as the molecule of inheritance, to the modern understanding of developmental biology--had every chance of overturning Darwin's theory. Instead, each of those monumental scientific breakthroughs modified his theory to make it more accurate.

Evolution is a fact; the theory of evolution is, to date, incontrovertible. Gods are, to date, controvertible.

The Funniest Will & Grace Moment Ever

I've been recording Will & Grace to watch when I get bored. I forgot how much I hated Will and Grace (who were truly awful characters), but loved Jack and Karen. And here is the funniest Karen ever:

Still Too Hilarious

Kids in the Hall's "Death Comes To Town" is everything you missed about them.

Still One Of The Best Endings Ever

Six Feet Under had one of the best endings of any series ever, transcending from a modern show exploring death to a sci-fi celebration of our inevitable end.

I cry every time I watch it...

Brilliant!


Ru Paul's Drag U is fucking brilliant! Best spin-off show ever. We gotta get a certain someone onto season 2. I'm talking about you, Miss Tobermory Thang....

TV Alert: Revenge, And Redemption, Of The Queens

The greatest insane reality show ever, Ru Paul's Drag Race, starts its offshoot--Drag U--tonight on Logo.

You know you should watch it Miss Thang. So don't fuck it up!

Raven AND Nina AND Pandora Boxx AND Ongina

RuPaul's Drag U will start July 16. All my favorite bitches from the first two seasons will be competing, so watch out.



Nina Flowers should have won the first season, and Raven should have won the second. Most of the others were serious contenders from both seasons.

Drag queens taking tragic women and remaking them is, quite possibly, the most brilliant idea for a show since Top Chef. Or RuPaul's Drag Race.

I [Heart] Pandora Boxx

I was a huge Raven fan for Ru Paul's Drag Race season 2 (the best contest reality show filming). But I loved Pandora Boxx a whole lot, as she was a great showgirl and comedienne.

Case in point: this inspired nugget (give it until about 1:18):



That bitch is fucking comedy genius.
