The Obama Election
I watched this historic accomplishment with my 8 year old daughter and K. I can help but thinking that more than ever, this election has engaged everyone into looking deep into our selves to see how it would feel living our lives as we feel inside AND as citizens of the world. Sounds like a cliché but what a real opportunity to better our lives, our children's lives, and the lives of everyone in the world. We need to ask our world neighbors to be patient. It is as if we are a new nation once again, carrying all the hopes and aspirations of a fledgling democracy, but saddled with the crushing burden left by a cynical past. There is much opportunity for failure, but there is also renewed reason for hope. We were offered a choice between fear and embrace of the future. We chose well this time…It is a new day, a new generation of voters have spoken.
And to the criminals leaving...it is not about revenge for the past it is about justice for the future.
Lost
The 4th season is arguably the best season since the first. Multiple episodes this past season completely changed my expectations for the series' conclusion but introduced entire concepts such as time travel, etc. They turned the science fiction valve completely open. In the brilliant episode, "The Constant," we saw Desmond travel through time (Did he?) due to an effect of the island, and in the mind-warping season finale, we saw the entire island vanish. The shorter than usual 14-episode season ended up giving more answers than past longer seasons. Cue the Island burp…
The Misadventures Of FlapJack
Flapjack is your typical, wide-eyed kid out looking for adventure. What's not-so-typical about him though, is the fact that he was raised by an overprotective blue whale (her name is Bubbie), and currently journeys through the high seas with a grizzled pirate by the name of Captain K'nuckles. It’s a deluge of nifty watercolor paintings and torn paper textures AND dabbles into the disgusting and sometimes disturbing. Don’t miss episodes: K’nuckles is a filthy rat & Mechanical genie island.
Honorable mention(s)
The Daily Show & The Colbert Report (the best “truthiness” and satire “news” out there), Keith Olbermann's Special Comments, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Rick Roll (epic! This was the last thing on my mind while watching the parade) & The Bill O’ Reilly Flips Out Dance Remix (via the You Tube).

I really like this new show called Sports Soup.
It's on Versus and basically recaps the sports news stories from the week. You should check it out.
Grats on your Dolphins, dirty bastard.
I can't get into Lost. I keep trying. Maybe I need to watch it drunk.
