4. Why don't you just go out and see a talkie instead. n/t

[Muttocracy]

12. I didn't know Jeffrey Sachs did them - have only heard him speak in person. nt

[dysfunctional press]

7. are you tv-free by choice?

if so- isn't your request rather hypocritical?

[Muttocracy]

11. yep! (to both questions) nt

2. The season's already over? Waaah!

No fair.

[Ian David]

3. I bet Arianna Huffington turns out to be the final Cylon.

Oops, sorry. I have my shows confused again.

Do we think Gary Shandling will be able to lead Bill Maher to Earth?

5. Sachs' advice to the 2008 Pres. Elect...

...and notable in his remarks was his advice to a new US government administration that will arrive in late January 2009. The following recommendations were made:

End the Iraq War immediately

End the tax cuts

Invest in sustainable technologies

Immediately end the subsidies for ethanol

Send a “climate envoy” around the world to show that the US is back and ready to assume a leadership position

Commit to international treaties like the Convention of Biological Diversity and the UN Convention on Law of the Sea. Additionally, obey the Geneva Convention

Invite the Heads of State from water-stressed countries like Senegal, Chad, and Saudi Arabia as well as Mayors of US cities that are water-challenged in order to develop a comprehensive viable dry lands initiative

Contribute to the refinancing of the UN Population Fund

Make the UN-declared MDG’s an important US global policy objective for effectively focusing on the challenges of hunger, poverty and disease

Create a cabinet-level position that is focused on global sustainable development

6. Some season, February through April.

Are the writers part-time?

8. Is it just me or does he have the shortest seasons in the free world?

Did the writer's strike have anything to do with how brief this season has been?

Some of the shows have sucked but I really did not notice them getting that much better when the strike was settled.

9. He also took a week off, "mid-season"

[xxqqqzme]

10. I believe he has two seasons each year.

He will have a new season in September probably. Don't forget he tours - I'm guessing his tours are a major source of his income.

I thought the shows improved after the strike because he had a monologue and 'New Rules' again.
