Well, if this works I should be back from the future. Cartoon Brew has posted a link to an audio interview former San Francisco radio personality Alex Bennett did with cartoon voice man Billy West. West was Stimpy of Ren and Stimpy, Fry, Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan and the Professor of Futurama, and many more.
The Brew was tipped off by some clever guy whose name escapes me just now.
A little clarification of Kerry’s yes/no vote on Iraq…
Apparently, Roland Hedley, Jr, is now working for the Houston police.
“I didn’t know it had purple and white flowers.”
“Special kind.”
Diana Rigg. Sigh…
Hands-down the best TV coverage of the convention has been MSNBC’s, especially their lengthy “After Hours” panel discussions with coverage from Joes Scarborough and Trippi, DeeDee Myers, Willie Brown, Ron Reagan and others. Even Scarborough is pretty easy to take for a smug Republican pretty-boy.
Since there’s no way I’ll be able to stomach as much of the GOP convention next month, I’ll probably be relying even more on their coverage then. Their gang-blog hasn’t been as impressive, but today did contain this little item:
“Sara Jessica Parker also walked by (my cameraman was swooning) and I caught up with her former cast-mate, Cynthia Nixon, who was shooting some kind of documentary of what was happening.”
Please god, let “some kind of documentary” really be…Tanner ’04.
After all, Robert Altman is in Boston too…
Excellent opinion piece from the Boston Globe on the need to recover faith from the hijackers of the christian right.
Column on the upcoming film Michael Moore Hates America.
What gets me most about it is that I think the filmmaker is disingenuous. He keeps insisting the title should not be seen as bashing Moore. Which I guess makes sense, because the film is made for people who think a report titled “Bin Laden determined to attack in the US” shouldn’t have been seen as a warning.
But the director keeps insisting that he has respect for Moore, which makes him come off as a bit of a weasel in my eyes. It’s like dude, at least have the courage of your convictions.
I have mixed feelings about Moore (as do most liberals, I think, if they’re honest), but at least he doesn’t go around claiming that actually he loves the NRA and wouldn’t dream of bashing president Bush…
Typically thought-provoking column by Molly Ivins on just what isn’t being said about Iraq at the DNC.
