watch it: the 2/28/09 weekly address from President Barack Obama
Carbon caps. Yea! “A threat to the status quo in Washington”! Excellent. Oh, and: Fuck the health insurance companies.

With Fox’s announcement that it will run for at least two more seasons, the show will surpass the record held by Gunsmoke as the longest-running prime-time series on American TV, and will finish up — assuming that the show is not extended further … more…
