Juxtaposed against Joe Biden, Barack Obama appears so scripted.
Biden jokes about it himself. While giving the commencement address at the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colo., on Wednesday, Biden noticed that one of his teleprompters had fallen.

I was tired; a night with interruptions, 02:00 hrs, 05:00 hrs etc... – milk… That’s how it should be done the first 3 months… So we let it be, something new had been added these past 40 years… My parents had NOT done anything – they had me cried the first 3 nights and then – never again sleepless nights. But the “new” education says: Thy shall not be so brutal… They also explained in “big” letters and in books: there are three different types of sleepers: i.e.

Emma Brockes The Guardian, Saturday 3 January 2009
The road to Fort Ashby, West Virginia, runs through Mineral County, an area of freezing grey farmland and barrack-style bungalows, where the sign outside the bar - "Hunters welcome" - has an unnerving effect on the passing non-hunter. In Cindy's coffee shop, customers speculate on the whereabouts of a lost cow and tell a weird Republican joke about the noise a chicken makes when its head is cut off: "Barack-Obama!, Barack-Obama!" Lynndie England has lived in Fort Ashby since she was two, but when she appears, suddenly, in the car park, her outline is crooked with self-consciousness.

Premiere Interview: Rob Pattinson Talks 'Twilight'
Rob Pattinson, aka Edward Cullen in the 'Twilight' juggernaut, chats about rioting fans, working with Kristen Stewart, Perez Hilton, 'New Moon,' and one girl who was begging for a bite.
By Sona Charaipotra

We caught up with the actor during a quiet moment on the whirlwind promo jaunt for the movie, which hits theaters Nov.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta tell all—including what they think of the allegations they’re not “real Atlanta society”
From comments spurred by my past posts (one, detailing the bios of the Atlanta Housewives, here; and another, detailing why I think the Atlanta version will be absolutely enthralling to watch, here), it seems that there are people here in “The City Too Busy to Hate” with plenty of time to hate, especially when it comes to whether or not these women represent Atlanta (generally) and its moneyed society (specifically). So when I interviewed the Housewives last week, I gave them a chance to offer a rebuttal, along with a lot of juicy information about what we’ll be seeing this seven-episode season, from the brouhaha over Big Papa’s real identity to which housewife is going to be the “bitch” of the show.
The women—Nene Leakes, Lisa Wu Hartwell, Kim Zociak, Sheree Whitfield, and DeShawn Snow (all at right)—were interviewed separately, but I asked many of them similar questions.

Mitch Hedberg is my favorite comedian of all time. His style (random non-sequiturs) reminded me of old-school Stephen Wright.
Hedberg sadly died in March of 2005 of a drug overdose.

Saltwater taffy, the sweet most associated with the New Jersey shore, owes its name to the candy makers that defended it.
The sticky, chewy candy turns 125 this year.
As shore candy makers will tell you, saltwater taffy is not like any other.

As I posted previously, the small independent movie theater near me was screening all of the live action and animated short film nominees this week, which I was able to catch on Wednesday.
First up were the five live action shorts:
#1 - The Saviour. This was a very funny film about a young religious missonary who makes door to door calls to try to convince people to convert.

Okay, so far I've only watched season one, although I just got season two for my birthday so I'll watch most of it by next week. I've been trying not to read most of the posts in this suite because I don't want to get spoiled, but I seriously LOVE this show! I think it's already bordering on obsession.
