I’ll admit it: I’m a TV addict. My favorite shows, in no particular order, include Lost, Invasion, The Daily Show, Numbers, Prison Break, and Two and a Half Men.

Last night was the thought-provoking season end to the dark and creepy Invasion. Families were torn apart and Sheriff Underlay had to make a life and death decision about Russell’s pregnant wife. His inability to answer Russell, or even speak, at the end of the episode was a powerful moment. And a perfect setup for the beginning of next season.

Today I find out that there is no next season. That ABC plans to cancel the show. I’ve never signed a fan petition before (they mostly get circulated for anything produced by Joss Whedon) but I signed this one:

I also sent a comment directly to ABC:

Help me be entertained. Sign the petition and write a quick note. It only takes a minute.

I don’t post much these days because I stopped posting about politics. Posting about design and development means taking time to explore new things, which means you have to have time to explore new things. In the meantime, a brief return to the days of old…

The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler has a post up that exemplifies everything that is wrong with the right wing of the Republican party. I’m not going to gloat or rant. I am going to excerpt a few choice bits and recommend you go read it for yourself. If you are a Republican, ask yourself if this is the party you want to be associated with.

From the Post: The Turd World Shithole Known as Mexico Whines:

…the pendejos from Drug and Whoresville are bitching and moaning…

Well, Pancho Villa, you could avoid all of that if you’d actually be the great “friendâ€? that Vicente’s bathhouse gay friend Jorge always claims that you are…

(Jorge refers to George Bush here. Pancho Villa refers to Vincente Fox, President of Mexico.)

Nuke Mexico

And, lest you think the people reading this crap are any less psychotic:

Don’t worry Verminte you pitiful shitstain, Bushito will be back on all fours licking your boots in no time. I highly doubt Bushito has found some self-respect and loyalty to Americans over Mexicans. I hope he proves me wrong and tells you to go fuck yourself. In the meantime here’s a message from Los Angeles with love: GO FUCK YOURSELF!

We have to be very careful after nuking Mexico, Mein Imperator! Burritos stay hot for a LONG time.

We could use their cadavers as an energy source for heating homes in the southwest for years to come.

Yeah…but they’re so pretty when they glow in the dark.

I like Stephen Colbert but I have to admit that I prefer his mentor, Jon Stewart. After the White House Press Correspondent’s Dinner though, I have newfound respect for the man. My jaw dropped watching his ballsy, spot-on performance at the dinner:

Update: I realized after posting this that it doesn’t contain the full video (and it has an annoyingly long introduction). To see the full thing check out Salon’s Video Dog. They also posted his press secretary audition skit.
