overeducated and underemployed

evening clips: sad, spicy, sarcastic edition

- Snubbed, yet again.

- Please, America. I am going to have to ask that you encourage her no further until she has won back our trust by "singing" and dancing at an awards show with a python and/or tear away pants.

- Another year, another take on the BCS.

- Eddie Murphy is fixing to see why they dubbed her Scary Spice.

- Gosh, this is a bummer for writers.

- AC Slater. The CW. Two symbols of unwavering quality, united at last.

overjoyed

Okay. Giddy over here. Democrat takeover. Rumsfeld resigns. And the cake on top of that cake? FIRST WOMAN SPEAKER. Could anything feel better?

86 years after women were first able to vote, it's just so important to keep knocking those milestones down. Well played, America.

evening clips: i was totally in arizona and i'm tired now so sue me edition

- While the Tigers and Cards roast Kenny Rogers, Carlos Delgado gives Mets fans a moral victory. Hooray! World Series are for bad people!

- Rush Limbaugh: DOUCHE!

- None of our tabloid stars quite live up to the U.K.'s Jordan. Or her "gargantuan breasticles".

- Please Britney. Please say you named your son Sutton, and not Jayden. Sutton is awful and pretentious, but Jayden? Jayden is a tranny.

- If you live on the west coast it's not too late to decide to watch Veronica Mars tonight! Here, let me tantalize you with some Logan/Veronica/Keith action that makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.

evening clips: you gotta believe edition

- I may be cheering like crazy for the Mets right now (it's a dignified, I'm at the office "watching" gamecast kind of crazy), but I don't plan to in the afterlife. Maybe that makes me less of a fan?

- Lengthy, over-expository TV themes that people memorize for kitsch value are becoming a thing of the past.

- Madge says "more babies! Bring'em on! (paraphrased).

- Posh says "no more babies!"....at least for a year, when they'll be so out of style they're in again.

- I simply cannot endorse a list about small economy cars that does not mention, nay, lavish praise upon, the Hyundai Elantra.

- You think you have what it takes to survive in Hollywood? Do ya? Do you have the mental fortitude to...sit in a car? In fancy clothes? While your gourmet food goes uneaten and your George Clooney unpraised? I didn't think so.

evening clips: things that scare me more than iraqis, spinach and lecherous congressmen edition

- Nicole and Paris, reunited.

- Elderly drivers.

- Tara Reid, Tara Reid's dress, and the fact that there are still people photographing Tara Reid (god, I know it's easy, but...look at the girl).

- Kate Moss being the voice of reason in any relationship.

- Babies having babies.

- And oh yeah, North Korea's nuclear test.

evening clips: i was totally in michigan and i'm tired now so sue me edition

- Clippers, still the bestest.

- Delta names a plane after New York Mets all-star/cutie-pie/blogger David Wright.

- Scarlett Johansson receives Esquire's "most efficient bile concentrating gall bladder" honors, along with some other silly award about being the sexiest woman alive.

- Janet Weiss + Steve Malkmus = Crazy delicious. (can I bring that back yet? has it gotten un-lamed and awesome anew?)

- Somehow, I doubt this is the first step towards the triumphant Britney Spears return I so desire.

- More Employee Megan, elsewhere!

- Limbaugh, Coulter and Drudge defend Mark Foley. I'd say it hurts their credibility, but...

evening clips: rapt choir edition

- Preach it, Josh Levin.

- Preach it, Ryan Schreiber.

- Preach it, Keith Olbermann.

- Shut it, Roger Ailes.

afternoon clips: a week's worth of stupid people edition

- Apparently, people are seeking vengeance against sting rays for the death of Steve Irwin.

- Hollywood Momentum scoffs at the beasts who would require punctuality in their employees.

- Sister/Wife-beating, Paula Abdul-banging, bad-singing Corey Clark misses his court date. And, somehow, he's still got a smile on his face. I believe that's what Simon would call the "it" factor.

- W goes over his summer reading list (a couple of Shakespeares!) and let's us in on his strategy: keep expectations low. Well played Sir, well played. Though you might need to switch tacks shortly, we're running out of room down here.

afternoon clips: exclamations and exhaustion edition

- Tonight: Santa Monica! Comedy!

- This clip from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace: Funny!

- Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony: Weird!

- Mike Nifong: Douche!

- Best Dance Video-winning Pussycat Dolls: Buttons cannot be loosened! There are only two settings on a button!

afternoon clips: congrats la edition

- Finally, a mostly arbitrary crummy adjectived city ranking piece that we did okay on! Yes LA, in a list of 100 U.S. cities and the anger engendered within, we are entirely mediocre. Behind not one, but five of Florida's metropolitan areas. Huzzah.

- The new models may be fierce, but so are the labor disputes. Please, Tyra, resolve this before we are stuck watching uncut footage of a Miss J/Aswirl twin runway walk-off catfight that leaves the horrified girls covered in blood and taffeta. On second thought, that sounds really good.

- Less offensive and yet, less funny than Mel Gibson.

- Pitchfork gives you another reason to debate with your music dork friends.
