SATURDAY NIGHT NOT-LIVE
External link: http://www.angrycountry.com/stories/294.html

What's with Saturday Night Live jumping on the bandwagon of people making fun of Ashlee Simpson getting caught lipsynching on their show? Let's not forget that SNL was totally complicit with Simpson's attempt. There's no way that she could have had that pre-recorded audio track go out over the air without the knowledge and even the assistance of SNL's tech people. And it's not Ashlee simpson who promises that Saturday Night Live is a live show-- it's Saturday Night Live that makes that promise.

Hey, I love SNL. And I do not like Ashlee Simpson. But SNL should really lay off of this, because its hands are very, very dirty.

THEATER REVIEW: DAVE GORMAN'S GOOGLEWHACK ADVENTURE * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link: http://www.davegorman.com/googlewhack.htm

So a "googlewhack" is a search made by combining two words so that you get a google search result that yields exactly one result ("Results 1 - 1 of 1"). Dave Gorman decided not only to find some googlewhacks, but to visit them in person. The result is an adventure that took him around the world, and is very funny.

In the spirit of the thing, here's a couple googlewhacks of my own: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0834137/filmokey is a googlewhack for regicide pyrotechnician, and http://sarn.org/vim/.vim/engspchk.vim is a googlewhack for anklets prevarications.

THEATER REVIEW: RODE HARD AND PUT AWAY WET. * * * * (4 stars out of 4).
External link: http://www.ucbtheatre.com/schedule/showdetails.php?showid=499

This satire of musical theater, presented as a series of short sketches about various shallow, over-privileged women, is the best show I've seen in a long while. It's funny and touching and extremely well-presented. It's also only $5 at the Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater, which also gets you in to see The Sunshine Gang at no additional charge, which is also pretty good. It's playing this Thursday, November 18, at 8PM. It's not on the schedule yet for December, so that could be the last show ever, for all I know!

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE CONTINUES.
External link: http://www.whitehouse.gov/

I'm thinking back on all the second terms of US Presidents in my lifetime.

Clinton was impeached.

Reagan was caught up in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Nixon resigned from office in disgrace.

I wouldn't want to read too much into that, though.
