THE WAR IS OVER!

War on Terror No Longer Necessary

George W. Bush has done such a splendid job of killing off the world's terrorists, it is no longer necessary to continue with the war. And while some detractors claim that Bush's war has created MORE terrorists, Mister Bush acknowledged that this is just "naive".

One can expect a dismantling of the infrastructure of war, now that it is basically over, and our soldiers should be returning home to enjoy the peace dividend.

Studio 60: Systematically Raising the Standards


Aaron Sorkin

Aaron Sorkin has higher standards. In maybe more than one way. And he seems determined to reverse what Woody Allen once warned us about when he said "TV is systematically lowering the standards of the America public." I, for one, hope he succeeds. So far, so good. The climax of the second show -- when they finally introduce the show-within-a-show (also called Studio 60, and resembling Saturday Night Night) -- we are treated to television of the highest order...far surpassing anything ever done of SNL. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

It is not by accident that the show is of such a high order. The president of NBS (Jordan McDeere, played by Amanda Peet) decrees that it will be so, and solicits Danny Tripp (Bradley Whitford) and Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) to get them there...and they make it happen. Well, actually Aaron Sorkin and Tommy Schlamme make it happen.

Perhaps evolution IS real...

The show airs on Monday nights at 10pm on NBC.
