Prime Time Thread
Wednesday night open thread. Couple of programming notes. First, no Huffington Post column this week. I'm working on a print article which I'll announce next week. Also, me and Lee on the radio...

Wingnut Mark Krikorian for example: Deferring to people’s own pronunciation of their names should obviously be our first inclination, but there ought to be limits. Putting the emphasis on the final...
Worst Person in the World
The Weekly Standard's Michael Goldfarb. For this: "Obama seems to have the views of a 21-year-old Hispanic girl -- that is, only by having a black president, an Hispanic justice, a female secretary...
Time Killer
Empire Online posted a painting titled "Cryptic Canvas" in which there are clues for 50 popular movies. If you're a movie fan and insanely bored right now, this will absolutely kill a pile of time...

Morning Awesome
Alanis Morissette - Covering "King of Pain" by The Police (It's turning into an impromptu theme week with The Police.)

Prime Time Thread
Open thread for your Monday night blogotubing.
Headline of the Day

Let The Race-Baiting Begin!
Douchey Romulan Charles Krauthammer lets fly: Charles Krauthammer is already snarling on Fox News, warning viewers of the possible danger that -- as he put it -- Sotomayor's "concern for certain...
General Petraeus on Guantanamo
Via Sam Stein: "But [closing Guantanamo] in a responsible manner, I think, sends an important message to the world, as does the commitment of the United States to observe the Geneva Convention when...
