What the world needs now

There is not enough Kath and Kim in the world. Just saying.

For that matter, we could do with a bit more Campus Ladies, as well.

We're on a brain wave. I was just complaining about the fact that they don't air Kath & Kim here on the old blog today! I've seen the first three episodes of their currently airing series by downloading. They could at least run it on BBC Canada couldn't they? Can you talk to them for me?

Weird. I hadn't read it at the time. Obviously great minds are yet again thinking alike.

I'll get on the phone immediately. BBC 2 is well into the season.

I hadn't seen yours either.

I appreciate your power in trying to rectify this troubling situation with the Beeb. And now I'm curious about Campus Ladies. If you like it, I just might too.

I LOVE Kath & Kim. "Chardonnay, Chardonnay you chunts!"

I could not stop laughing. I remember it clearly as it was the day of the royal wedding when I called and as soon as you picked up the phone I said "what on earth is she wearing on her head?"

My latest Beeb import is Masterchef Goes Large. Kath & Kim aren't in it but there's lots of tension as all the amateurs try to become master chefs! I wonder why they call the show that?

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him

Empathize this

I've got two things on my mind today. First off, I really like Sonja Sotomayor. And I especially like that when discussing his selection criteria for Justice Souter's replacement, President Obama brought up empathy. Empathy is not the same thing as sympathy, compassion or emotion. Empathy is perspective. The idea that our laws have strict, specific definitions that should be considered without perspective is ridiculous. Laws mean something, but they must also be considered in context. That isn't to say they should be applied arbitrarily, or to advocate making exceptions left and right to suit a judge's whim...suggesting laws should be considered in context simply means that the courts must consider how our laws should be interpreted, and how they can make our society a better, more habitable, more functional one. How they can help Americans live their lives without impediment to their personal liberties. Empathy provides the perspective necessary to do this. Judge So
