I Want my GayTV -- MTV is adding a gay themed channel called Outlet that will be on everyone's basic cable plan. If MTV wanted a 'network aimed at gays and lesbians” they should've just bought Bravo. (Via: World magazine's blog)
G-Files on Hiatus -- Jonah Goldberg's NRO column is going away (at least now).
New Sponsor -- Fans of Christian fantasy novels will want to visit EO's newest sponsor. Theodore Beale is the author of the Eternal Warriors series of novels, which includes The War in Heaven and The World in Shadow. Beale also has several of his stories online.
Mystery Intern Comes Forward -- The Kerry intern has been found.
Addictive Time Waster of the Week -- I played 'Guess the Dictator and/or Television Sit-Com Character” twice today. The first time I thought of Mallory Keaton from Family Ties and the second I had Ferndinand Marcos in mind. The game guessed right both times. Eerily impressive. (Via Vox Popoli)

"I played 'Guess the Dictator and/or Television Sit-Com Character'"
I got both my choices right, too. "Eerily impressive" says it, all right.
Interestingly, it told me I was the 947th person to choose George W. Bush as the dictator, but only the 56th person to choose Mr. Spock as the TV character.

I chose Becker and Dr. Huxtable as sit-com characters. It got both of those. It couldn't get my dictator though. I chose Cromwell. It thougth he was Ferdinand Marcos. And it asked several questions that should have ruled Marcos out. Of course, maybe the programmers didn't think of Cromwell as a dictator.

Wow, that is great fun!

Thing (The Addams Family) - it guessed Byron from Andy Richter Controls the Universe.
