but not by last night's show, though, since they didn't have much warning to come up with a series ending. It was probably the best they could have done under the circumstances-- with noted exception of Edna moving in with the Abbott's, but even that could have been written to seem right, if there were more time for development.

No, I am just disgusted with how the decision was made to end "Everwood." According to the person in charge of programming (I read this on Zap2It) it no longer "fit" with the rest of their programming. They couldn't seem to pair it up with anything else. Good grief! Maybe because it was better than the rest of the shows?!

Any bets now on how long Gilmore Girls will last? I know they're keeping it on for now, since it's been so successful, but they're not keeping its creators/writers. One can only imagine what will happen now. [sigh]

I completely agree with the writer who mentioned "Northern Exposure," except that I really did appreciate the show when it was on, and then I missed it for a really long time. Some of these WB shows (Everwood, and Gilmore Girls) did have something of that feeling about them.

The good news? I'll practically be able to give up television now, since there will be very little left worth watching (as we don't have cable). Maybe I'll write something!

So what about Viagra? I'd be interested in finding out his postion on dispensing Viagra to unmarried men.

And... what about married men whose wives are past childbearing age? Bottom line, the ReligiousRighteous really are opposed to all non-procreative sex.

...did he bother to determine whether any of the women were taking BCP for reasons other than conraception? Or would that have been too much personal information?

is a media-version of a Black Hole, into which crazies like Coulter could be projected.

Failing that, I would settle for having a Greek Chorus follow her around wearing masks with stringy blonde hair and faces resembling "The Scream." They would not have to write any new material themselves, but merely repeat what she has said that day or week, and if it's been quiet, the many things she's said in the past.

What might be even more entertaining, but probably too subtle, would be something modeled after "Billionaires for Bush," say... "Blonde Bimbos for Ann?"

Squalorhollar beat me to it, but it bears repeating.

What! Only one child and only a male? The logo looks like it could be from one of "those Asian countries" where the female babies just "disappear." Perhaps male children are more important, or more in need of having two opposite-sex parents? I can see that.

But, who, I would like to know, is supposed to be having all of these babies that must grow up with both a father and a mother? Are the mothers merely grownup clones?

And are the children of parents who divorce going to be taken from what's left of their home and placed in another home with two opposite-sex parents?

Well, at least this explains why there were so many retired generals speaking out all at once a little while ago. It seemed a bit contrived, tho' very welcome, at the time.

Sardines are smaller and haven't accumulated the large quantities of mercury. I recommend putting them into hot soup. Not quite chowder, but easy and nutritious. (I will only buy them packed in olive oil; they taste so much better.)

Walnuts, too, are excellent sources of omega-3's.

Still, it's pretty hard to give up tuna completely, and since I no longer consider myself pre-pregnant, no matter what the guvmint says, I eat tuna once or twice a week.

I'm trying to imagine how frustrating, and perhaps humbling, it must be for the father not to be able to rescue his son from himself, for the first time in his life, and probably the most important time ever.

In the past, he was always able to step in, or send reinforcements, or come up with some kind of a job. Something. And, previously, his interventions affected not just GWB, but a circle of others, including family members, friends, and a small company or two.

But now, the whole world is being held hostage by his son's rigidity and inability to see reality or even how others perceive him.

I say this as someone who did not want Bush Sr. as president, and was not convinced in 1991 that war was necessarily the answer. I even went so far as to tell my disbelieving grandmother that I thought he was a hot-head. Imagine that! Little did I know how those words would come back to haunt me. Now, I would welcome some of his comparative restraint.

Parenting never gets easier, only harder, and the only way you get out of it is to die. It's the real "til death do us part" relationship. I would really hate to be in Bush Sr's place now, realizing that maybe I shouldn't have rescued my child so many times in the past, because by doing so, I have actually shared in bringing about the current state of affairs.
