What a weekend America has had! Fortunately TDS has all the coverage you need.
DEATH OF A PERSON OR MOVE OVER DIAPERED ASTRONAUT PSYCHO!: The big news was according to the news networks was Anna Nicole Smith died. The Daily Show mocked the coverage of her death, not Smith herself. At CNN, Wolf Blitzer will probably find something in his coffee after he blatantly talked about reaction to Smith's death after Lou Dobbs promised there would be no more coverage of her demise for the next hour. It was a huge deal at TDS as well with John Oliver in the adjacent grave to Smith's plus Jason Jones accusing Geraldo of murder, it was a good time
OBAMAMANIA!-THE RACE BEGINS: Barack Obama did cocaine?! I did not know that! Black Correspondent Larry Wilmore explained that African-Americans like everything associated with Africa except African people. He also gave advice to Obama to use his half-white/half blackness to good use. Ex: Raise money for campaign-whiteness; if elected, inherit massive debt-blacks like that.
Tonight's guest was author and Supreme Court historian Jeffrey Rosen. He gave the audience some insight on the history of our highest judiciary system. First justice John Jay Marshall and Thomas Jefferson did not get along and current judge Antoine Scalia is kind of a dick. He lets people burn flags for cripes sake!

CLEANING OUT THE DVR: MAJOR CLEANUP PART UNO
Whoever invented the DVR and TIVO is a freakin' genius! You can record a show or movie and watch it later and it has at least 100 hours of memory. There is a downside, though, now you have to go back and watch all you recorded. I mostly DVR films that come on Turner Classic Movies (the best station ever!). Between January 14 and today, I racked up around 10-15 films I wanted to watch. They had some great films on that I had not seen before. Here are some movies I have watched so far...
The Marrying Kind-a couple recalls their divorce to a judge. I fast-forwarded through a lot of it.
The Black Book-also ff'd, but the film cut off right before the main character was about to be struck. Oh, it's about the French Revolution.
The Garden of Allah-Marlene Dietrich marries monk Charles Boyer. It's short.
A Bill of Divorcement-Katharine Hepburn's 1st film! She plays the daughter of John Barrymore who has spent many years in a mental institution. When he comes back home, Barrymore discovers his wife has divorced him and in love with someone else. Now that SUCKS.
Until They Sail-four sisters and their love lives in WWII New Zealand. OK with a young Paul Newman as the male lead.
The Actress-Ruth Gordon who many know as "Maude" from Harold and Maude wrote this screenplay adapted from her autobiographical play about her decision to become an actress. Nothing much to say here, I like any movie with Spencer Tracy.
The Impatient Years-a young couple marries during a four-day courtship and the guy ships off to fight in the war. He comes back and after two days living together, they want to divorce. The judge, along with the bride's father's advice, rules that the duo recreate their honeymoon in order to save the marriage.

THE COLBERT REPORT 2-7-07
A PRAYER FOR STEPHEN: a media company who's name I can't recall honored Stephen as one of the top people in media in 2006. His prize is a full day of prayer for him which is coming on Feburary 22! Right between Phil Collins and Glenn Close! We're gonna party like it's 1985! The company gave a list of things that we should pray for Stephen, but he already has these things. So, Mr. Colbert came up with his own list. On the 22nd, we should pray that Stephen gets a 4-jet engine, invisiblity, and to back in time so he can fight Oliver Cromwell mano-a-mano.
STEPHEN, COME TO KENTUCKY'S 2ND!!: Everytime they show Better Know a District, I will have this subtitle until he meets with our congressman! Tonight's guest was Ohio 18th representative Zack Space who replaced former Rep. Bob Ney who was jailed for accepting bribes from Jack Abramoff. Space says he is a Democrat, but after this interview he is clearly a Republican. Watch the video on Comedy Central's website. C'mon, did you think I was going to link to the video? Actually that part will come later once I figure out how to do it.
Tonight's guest was Charles LeDuff who wrote a book about the American man. I didn't watch the interview.
