Time to Get Rid of Those Zubaz Pants

Morgan Freeman Before Shawshank Blew Him Up - Watch more free videos

So, I went and saw this charming, little sleeper film the other day called The Dark Knight. I totally think it's going to be this year's My Big Fat Greek Juno. Anyway, it was visually arresting, refreshingly morbid, totally unapologetic about its misanthropy, a morally complex allegory for our post-FISA society, yadda yadda yadda...But one thing that really bothered me about the movie is the part when Bruce Wayne asks Lucius for a new suit, and he quips, "Yes, 3 buttons is a little 90's, Mr. Wayne." I own two, three-button suits and until that moment I totally thought they were stylish, but now Morgan Freeman has called me out. I bought my first three-button suit like ten years ago. I am Bruce Wayne. Now I guess I better get busy dying or get busy living and do a little fashion updating. Meanwhile let's all enjoy a little jive talk and timeless fashions, courtesy of Morgan Freeman and The Electric Company.

Land of Confusion II: Music Video of the Day -- Illegal Alien Edition

So, E decided to post on the 2012 Olympics logo--what someone quoted in the Times calls a comical sex act between the Simpsons, and what Jon Stewart more aptly described as (and pardon the prurience here) "a slot machine going down on a stop sign"--but what struck reader Owen's eye was the Genesis motif. With the comprehensive immigration bill getting dragged through the mud on Tuesday during Torturepalooza II: Gay Linguists Need Not Apply, and with it failing to achieve cloture last night in a stunning rebuke of even a pretense of bipartisanship, there is little one can say. Maybe that's okay. Maybe Phil Collins, whose prescience knows no bounds, said it best: "It's no fun, being an illegal ay-lee-un."
