On Sympathy For Jonathan Franzen
Did he have an *attractive* chronicler of society in mind? I mean, everyone in the past was totally uggo -- isn't that like common knowledge, and pretty much built in to our critical faculties?
Now that I've image-searched Mr. Franzen, I'm surprised I disliked The Corrections so much. The writing must have really worked hard to overcome my innate sympathy for such a nice-looking boy.

@HereKitty That sauce is no joke. It has the biggest effort/taste ratio of all time.

On 'The Secret Circle': Teen Witches In ZOMG Love
That David Grann piece is amazeballs-- not spinach at all. Also, I just started watching Vampire Diaries on netflix instant and it too is amazeballs. And the Pike book with the incestuous dinosaurs mentioned above -- amazeballs! Finally, making biscuits!

On Sarah Palin the TV Star Exposes Sarah Palin the Fake Hunter
Her amateurishness seemed clear from the commercials but I couldn't bring myself to actually watch this or the trapshooting episode. So thanks for this!

It looked like a Robert Palmer video back there.

On We Are All 25 Years Older Than The Golden Girls Were Back Then
Golden Girls love is kitschy, but that show is still funny today. Mostly because those ladies were comedy PROS.

FINALLY someone thought to put Gallagher and two dozen hip- hop acts on the same bill. Perfect!

On Tina Fey Wants It
She employs some couple hundred people. Maybe she does want fame -- (but why? what smart person likes it?) -- but there could very well be another explanation: she has an obligation to publicize her show to make sure it stays on the air. She's not so twattish to really and truly shun all the outlets that make 30 Rock such a high profile show for NBC.

On How To Make Veggie And Chicken Stock
I recognize those ziplocs of frozen vegetable trash -- I have the same thing in my tiny apartment freezer, waiting to be given to my worm composter.
Two more things: crockpots are good for stock. Also CI seems to think that you really only need an onion for chicken stock; the rest of the aromatics do nothing. Even faster and cheaper!
