Unusually, most of the new shows from the States this year have yet to make it over here - we are still waiting for Studio 60 (though I am not holding my breath), 30 Rock, Ugly Betty, Heroes etc. Despite this, I still avidly read Heather every week, just because she is one of the few guarantees of genuine laughs on Salon (not necessarily a criticism, but the last truly funny article from another writer was Andrew's description of Fox News on election night). I laughed loud enough at this article to wake my roomate and her girlfriend - one of your funniest pieces in ages!
By the way, you guys should give the Tsunami mini-series a go - its got some absolutely superb acting in it (Toni Collette, Gina McKeee, Chiwetel Eljiofar and Sophe Okenedo are brilliant) and despite some corney dialogue, especially in the second half, its largely well paced, complex and sensitive.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
