...ouch.

If the guy who wants to be my nemesis over at Pink Raygun really wants to be floored by a negative review, here's what Entertainment Weekly thinks of this season of Heroes so far. Just...wow. They're more flailingly pissed off than I am. I've learned my lesson from last season. I wasn't blown away by the show until well past the initial episodes. It's easy to forget, especially for an ADD-rag like this magazine (...that I subscribe to), that Heroes was far from perfect its first season.

Here's hoping for better things.

Speaking of Pink Raygun: Skip my review of Smallville and go right for viridian's. She's way funnier and manages to cover, in half the word count, much of my own feelings about Dean Cain's (finally!) guest starring episode. So far it was the least painful, maybe-this-is-even-good episode of the season.

Am I dumb for wanting these?

I don't have a video iPod or a portable DVD player (YET!), but I would love to have these if only for the freaking out of fellow travellers.

That's pretty powerfully awesome

Okay, so he just called out the ass-hats who defeated SCHIP, but what really sells it for me is this little beauty of a comment:

It was just the latest provocative comment from Stark. On one occasion in 2001 he and then then-Rep. J.C. Watts of Oklahoma had to be separated after Stark claimed all of Watts' children were illegitimate. In fact only two of Watts' six children had been born out of wedlock.

Come on, dude. When a sizeable fraction of your children are bastards, be proud of it! At the very least, you have to concede you may have lost the snooty-nose highground when you've a third of your kids being oopsie-babies.
