Da Ali G Show
We've been watching the season one dvd of Da Ali G Show from Netflix. I cannot believe how funny it is.
The Sopranos, Curb and Ali G (Breean would add Six Feet Under) make you wonder why we even have network television any more. HBO these days makes a very compelling case that network television has a dying business model based on crappy content and crappy advertising.

Bush - Kerry debate last night
We watched the debate at Breean's theater on campus last night. It was a lot of fun to watch with a large group of people - and by people I mean students who seemed to generally agree with my own politics. Watching with a large group of right-wing religious fanatics would have been a whole different experience that no doubt I would never describe as "fun."
First off, I had difficulty watching Bush without thinking of the Bush or Chimp? web site. And Kerry needs to do something about his helmet hair.
Do these debates every actually sway anybody? Naturally I thought Bush seemed immature and stoopid, but I am of course predisposed to think that way. I'm sure if you went in thinking Kerry is a flip-flopping liberal aristocrat, last night wouldn't change a thing.
Does the mythical "swing voter" exist anymore? And were they watching last night? What did they think?
