Was Your TiVo Set?
This year’s Peabody Awards have been announced. The Office and The Wire were among the entertainment-related winners. 60 Minutes, Newshour, The Elegant Universe and the incredible documentary War Reporter were also among those honored.
The Bonnie Fuller-updated Star Magazine has gone glossy to better compete with People. This is like a Shakespeare vs Marlowe redux.
Janet Gives the Finger
First Janet Jackson exposed her breast. Now she’s apparently giving the finger. The ring finger that is. Rumors abound that Miss Jackson is about to become Miss Jermaine Dupri.
The news reminds one of Chris Rock’s line at last year’s MTV Awards: “Seeing Janet Jackson with Jermaine Dupri is like finding out about a sale a day too late.”
Looks like it could be an “everything must go” sale…
How About Some New Lawyers?
Martha’s legal team has appealed her court conviction on the basis that one of the jurors lied about a past arrest on assault charges. Stewart’s lawyers also alluded to the fact that throughout the original trial, the courtroom was unnecessarily drab.
Means Testing
Fineman: “I’ve never thought that the Clarke-Condi battle would decide the presidential election. It’s Iraq that will matter. The fundamental question: whether the invasion and occupation of that country has made America safer—or less so.”
He’s right. But there’s more to it than the “safer” question. That is the “ends” questions. But there is also the equally important “means” question. That question is about credibility and trust. Did the Bush team mislead the public on the way to Iraq?
