Posted 31 minutes ago
Or something like that. The network has picked up repeats of the cult hit "Jericho" and will be airing it 7 p.m. Sundays starting the last Sunday of this month. The show only lasted 2 seasons -- and one of those was very short. What do you think? [Link]

“The general rule of thumb is that women can watch men, but you’re not supposed to have men watching women,” Langford said. The "Ready, Fire, Aim" crew on our County Commission are now starting to actually do the arithmetic on our new county icon, and it looks like it will cost us all more than they figured. Ok, they DIDN'T ... [Link]

Tele-buddy's Tinseltown Tales » ABC cans 3 -- 'Pushing Daisies,' 'Eli Stone' and 'Dirty Sexy Money'
Posted 52 minutes ago
Not too big of a shock here, but ABC is getting rid of "Pushing Daisies," "Eli Stone" and "Dirty Sexy Money." I can do without "Dirty Sexy" -- Peter Krause surely only did this soap for the $$$ after his brilliant turn on "Six Feet Under" -- but I object to the decision to bounce "Daises" and "Eli," especially "Eli." ...

I sent some stats to Scott Karp on what I think is a pretty successful example of "link journalism." (Karp is credited with coining that term and has a company, Publish2, built around the concept.)Like articles, the reader interest in content that is a set of links varies with the subject matter, but in instances where readers want everywhere scrap ...

I’m not surprised that Obama would throw Hilary a decent slot in his administration, and personally, I feel it should have been as VP. But, that episode is over and there’s not much that can be said anymore. And, I really do not want Obama to coopt Hilary just because she had millions of voters supporting her and not him. ...

OP-ED: “Franklin Delano Obama? Drawing the right lessons from the New Deal,” by Paul Krugman, New York Times, 10 November 2008. Interesting piece by Krugman, who seems simultaneously calmed by his Nobel and Bush’s imminent departure. Argument: FDR didn’t fail early on with the Great Depression from making too big of a stimulus effort but far too little. Pretty compelling. ... [Link]

I really liked the Greengrass film, as did most critics in 2006. Greengrass has a realistic quality to his cinematography that is truly compelling (and it's why the second and third "Bourne" films outperformed the original). Last night Vonne and I finally got around to watching the TV film "Flight 93." The difference? I found the movie a lot more ... [Link]

FINANCE AND ECONOMICS: “Trust: The faith that moves Mammon; Only rarely does the glue that binds the financial system come unstuck,” The Economist, 18 October 2008. Neat piece on trust. Credere, or credit, comes from the Latin for “trust.” A cool bit: That raises a question: what makes people who might not even lend to their neighbours happy to lend ... [Link]
