The New Bionic Woman: A Quick Review

The Bionic Women debuted on NBC last night. Here's a three-letter review: zzz.

Truth: Stranger Than Fiction

Ring, Ring: Phony McFakerson (AKA Larry Craig) Dials A Wrong Number

Listen to the phone mail message he thought he was leaving for his lawyer just before he announced his "intent" to resign last weekend.

Gilligan!

Fall

One of the characters in The Office is promising to be "30 percent more unpredictable" in the coming season. You can find out which one by watching this:

The Bourne Ultimatum: Everything But A Chicken Fight

... went to see The Bourne Ultimatum last week. Good movie, but one of the action-packed scenes made me laugh (unintentionally) because it reminded me of this:
