I don't often watch BookTV on CSPAN, but I saw 
this one referenced by Joe Conason on Salon. It's awesome. It has Molly Ivins plus Al Franken calling Bill O'Reilly a liar to his face (and O'Reilly losing his temper and shouting "Shut Up" at Al). After the confrontation Molly Ivins talked about the importance of not lumping people together and labelling them, to which Bill immediately responded by talking about what "those liberals all want". It was profound to see how Molly had anticipated how he would phrase his argument and be able to follow up immediately to demonstrate how O'Reilly works his distortions. I'm glad to see people like Molly and Al being willing to call O'Reilly down.
People unclear on the concept! This article at news.com has some real screamers about pop-ups including these
if a consumer sees [pop-ups] at the right time, they can provide useful information or at least be entertaining and nonoffensive.
I have a hard time believing that. I would never, under any circumstances, buy something through pop-up advertising. I wouldn't buy a bottle of water if my head were on fire.
For those who were browsing at the site and were not seriously seeking out lots of information, the pop-up was a welcomed interruption to their browsing activities. Some pop-ups lengthened these users' stay at the site.
Anyone who believes that ought to have their head examined. My loathing for pop-up advertising extends beyond the advertiser to the product being advertised and the site using the pop-ups. If I have to put up with pop-ups at your site, I'll find a different site to visit. If your product is advertised in pop-ups, I'll find a competitor. If I see a graphic in a pop-up, its server is likely to get blocked.
Fortunately there are now browsers that eliminate pop-ups, and their evil cousins pop-unders, so I almost never experience them anymore. Now I just wish Safari would let me turn off animated gifs. I also wish I could easily turn flash and shockwave on and off.
While I was thinking about it, I signed up for the national do not call registry.
Tomorrow is the release of Stitch, the Movie. Reviews continue to suggest that it will be terrible. DVD Talk Reviews had many negatives
falls horribly flat with its abysmal plot and stale dialogue.
The new character, 625, was the unfunniest and most horribly voiced characters I've ever seen in a Disney feature film.
[...] several instances of bad writing and awful dialogue combined to make a pretty bad movie overall
The reviewer says that kids will probably still like it anyway. I know my kids are anticipating buying it. How sad that Disney can get away with consistently producing horrible sequels and they can because the kids want them anyway.
