Change.

Just Toomey, Collins, Kirk, and Maverick John McCain so far, but expect a few more to flip soon.

(Since McCain’s apparently voting yes, Flake [...]

Enterprising.

To cleanse the palate. Here’s my problem: On some level, I just can’t accept “Trek” without the camp factor. That’s also why I’ve never much liked the occasional modern attempts to restart “The Twilight Zone.” They never get the tone right. It’s not that the new versions aren’t creepy enough or that the writing’s unimaginative, [...]

"Significant progress."

Reeeeeal curious to see what the vote on this looks like in the House. Expanded background checks is the one plank of Obama’s gun-control platform that draws extremely high support across parties. Here are the numbers from yesterday’s Quinnipiac poll, which are nothing out of the ordinary on this issue: Pew found 85 percent support [...]

Darkness.

Why post it if you’ve already seen it? Because (a) with “The Walking Dead” on mid-season hiatus, I have nothing to whine about in the weekly Monday night whine-about-TV slot. And (b) I need a Trek fan to explain to me the appeal of this trailer, assuming there is any. I didn’t see the 2009 [...]
