Female Rising
I am in a weird kind of awe of the gall, cheek and really exceptionally bad manners of this woman:

The US Government in Shutdown
I was a bit confused when I first heard that the US Government was shutting down because Congress had an issue getting their job done.
It turns out that certain arms of the government are not going to receive their funding so they started their quickest way of saving money - sending the employees off on unpaid leave or furlough.
According to my calculations, based on an article in the New York Times, 784,710 of the just under 2 million employees affected will go on furlough.
784710/2000000 = 0.392355
So 39%.
Not much really.
So why all the furore? Maybe because Washington's trash won't be picked up.
Or is it because Al Gore might just turn off the internet as he walks out of his office?

CSI - Miami Style
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "I do like me some CSI Miami".
The fact that my sister's home town of Key Biscayne is regularly shown and referred to does make me grin. And the knowledge that the whole series is filmed in LA, on the other side of the country, does cause a wry grin to creep across my face.
But most of all it is the pure cheesiness of the thing that keeps me hooked.
I've been to Miami many times, and NO-ONE wears pastel coloured clothing. Except for the very old people, and that's only when they're going out for supper - at 5pm.
So finding this compilation of David Caruso one-liners cheered me up on an otherwise cold and mundane workday.

House
I just watched the season opener for "House" and it was probably the best TV show I have seen in years. And trust me, I watch a LOT of TV shows.
So what was so amazing about this episode? Well, first of all there was no old supporting cast. One can come into this 6th season knowing only that Dr Greg House is a selfish, arrogant, diagnostic genius and it all flows on from there.
I have never seen a season opener that is so intense, focused, dramatic and, lets not forget, entertaining!
I have watched quite a few season premieres of shows that we have been looking forward to. Nothing comes even close to the impact that "House" has.
And its a double episode! Which genius thought of that?
Personally I had no idea where the plot could go on this series, it has always been a standard setup in each show:

This episode just blew me away and I look forward to watching the rest of the series.1. Odd symptoms

2. House gets the diagnosis wrong
3. House annoys students / interns / anyone /everyone
4. House gets diagnosis right
5. Smiles all round!
The House season 6 premiere was a one-man show forApparently "House" was the most watched premiere:Hugh Laurie , and I'm pretty sure all die-hard House fans had a grand time. And as much as I hate to admit it, much less admit it, I kind of did not miss the supporting characters. Maybe I miss Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein ) a bit, but only when she interacts with House, so I guess the doctor is still the integral part of that missing element.
The two-hour season premiere of Fox's drama House emerged as the runaway ratings winner on the first night of the broadcast networks' premiere week. The show averaged a 6.1/16 with 15.8 million viewers at 8 p.m. before rising to a 6.8/16 and 17.2 million viewers in its second hour. It's a significant jump for the show, whose one-hour premiere last fall averaged a 5.6/16 and 14.4 million viewers.By David Tanklefsky -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/22/2009 12:17:22 PM EDT
So may I suggest you go and watch it?
