Ok, you know I hate people who don't use spoiler space, but we didn't talk about anything that's happened in the past month. There's got to be some kind of time limit on spoiler space. Am I not allowed to talk about what happened during the second season of Remington Steele b/c you haven't gotten around to watching your tivo'd reruns of the Lifetime Channel?

Your reading comprehension sucks ass. I don't have tivo, and I'm totally behind on watching DH so how would I know when it might have happened?

Why did mmmm post the question about the guns and money on Sun night if it did not relate to the latest episode?

Oh, probably because he's fucking annoying.

Right.

Anyhoo, I (like barely)* thought that this was sufficiently old enough -- I think it was at least four or five episodes ago -- that spoiler spaces were not necessary. However, I will try to do better in the future.

*Apropos of nothing, I do like barely. In a Platonic way (if by "Platonic" one means "like Plato loved little Gree...." ah, nevermind).

It was clearly old enough to not require spoiler space. I've only watched two episodes of this show and I know that. fringey's just in a bad mood because the Krispy Kreme downstairs was sold out of chocolate-glazed doughnuts this morning.

Just to piss you off. Yay!

I, too, have missed a lot, and I thought maybe that was resolved in some innocuous way.

I just think it's weird, like the TWOP reviewer. Whenever I find a gun and $100k in cash in the house of someone I am fucking, I either invetigate or tell dtb to stop leaving her guns lying around.

Look, if you promise me doughnuts, especially on an icky Monday morning, you need to deliver on your promise. You should have gone and found some somewhere else. Or at least produced a scone. Jesus.

Methinks a dollars to doughnuts bet means something different to Fringey...

So why were the 80s so bad at detective shows when the 60s were so good at them?

I took the Vikes and the over. If dumbass Favre doesn't flip that ball 4 yards passed the line of scrimmage, the Packers probably score a TD. How come he hasn't been ripped apart for that? The Packers were penalized and lost a down. I hate it when no on criticizes Favre.

Favre has been pretty mediocre for about three years, but nobody dares say it. He's very good/great in about 1/3 of his games (remember the shoot-out with Indy this year, the week 16 win over Minnesota), very average in about 1/3, and notably below average 1/3 of the time. The past two seasons he's really shown a propensity to make dumb-ass throws where he's totally putting it up in the air for a 50-50 ball, or even with the defenders having the far better claim. He NEVER used to do this. Brady and Manning never do this. Bulger never does this. Even Donovan and Vick rarely do this.

And I think his name was Houston. Matt Houston.

The Simon and Simon theme song should have had lyrics. In fact, I wrote a set one day.

"His name is Simon
And so is his.
Simon and Simonnnnn
Da dit-dit da daaaaaaaa"

Despite all the complaints of recent boringness, I just thought I'd let y'all know that, compared to the other blogs/MS boards I casually peruse, we do maintain a pretty high level of wit (comparatively speaking), even when we suck ass. So thanks for maintaining such high standards, folks.

Also, I saw Ju-On this weekend. It was actually a pretty scary, freaky movie, despite the fact that, typically of Japanese movies, I'm still not quite sure what it was about or what happened. Relatively little gore, but Fugee should not see it because she will have trouble getting to sleep.

I also rewatched Dawn of the Dead (the original). Pretty funny stuff. Alarmingly, I may be of the opinion that the remake was more subtle and thoughtful in its subtext. Question: why, in the '70s, did all black actors speak in that hilariously over-trained, pontificating style (men and women did it, but men especially)? Question 2: Was L. Fishburn consciously impersonating them in the Matrix movies?

I think all actors and performers, of every race, should try to emulate the vocal stylings of Walt "Clyde" Frazier on Knicks broadcasts.

Court Won't Block KKK From Highway Cleanup

2 hours, 30 minutes ago

By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Missouri lost a Supreme Court appeal Monday over its decision to bar a Ku Klux Klan group from a highway litter cleanup program.

The court's rejection, made without comment, means that the KKK chapter must be allowed into Missouri's Adopt-A-Highway program, which is designed to save money by using volunteers for garbage pickup. Volunteer groups are publicly thanked with signs along the highway acknowledging their help.

Every state but Vermont has such a program. States supporting Missouri in the appeal argued that the Supreme Court needed to intervene so that states unwilling to partner with the KKK would not decide to abolish their programs.

The dispute involves a half-mile stretch of Missouri 21 near Potosi, a town of fewer than 3,000 in the eastern part of the state.

A KKK chapter sought permission to pick up trash along the road, but was turned down because the program is not open to groups that discriminate based on race or those that courts have said have a history of violence.

Missouri lawyers had argued that a sign marking the KKK stretch of road could lead to more dumping, and could endanger highway workers mistaken for Klan members.

The Klan sued and won on grounds that it had a First Amendment free speech right to participate.

In its appeal, Missouri attorney Erwin O. Switzer III said state leaders are "trying to avoid giving motorists the mistaken impression that the state has anything good to say about a horrific, racist group."

He argued that the case was about government speech, not speech of the group.

Robert Herman of St. Louis, the attorney for the KKK, said that the group wants to do its part in community service and to express "solidarity with the community."

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) had ruled that Missouri's "desire to exclude controversial organizations in order to prevent 'road rage' or public backlash on the highways against the adopters' unpopular beliefs is simply not a legitimate governmental interest that would support the enactment of speech-abridging regulations."

Texas Solicitor General R. Ted Cruz, who filed a brief on behalf of 10 states that backed Missouri, said that states unwilling to partner with the KKK may "forgo the economic benefits of having volunteers pick up tons of roadside trash each year." The 10 states are Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Vermont.

The case is Rahn v. Robb, 04-629.
