Go Buy this Album

When I lived in Boston back in the early 90s one of my favorite bands was a band called Tribe.  Loved them.  Loved the sound.  I loved the two women in the band.

A few weeks ago, my wife told me about this song she heard. I listened once and it took me back to Boston.   Loved the song and I bought the CD, yes CD (which then was added to my Cloud Storage on Amazon along with another 1000 songs I bought in CD form from Amazon.com since 1999 via their AutoRip feature which is freaking AWESOME)

Here's the song I heard:

Why "The Mindy Project" annoys me

I think Mindy Kaling is very funny.  Talented. Smart.  So it's with disappointment that she has made her character on The Mindy Project so lame.  It hit me in the episode where she deals with her best friend's child and she's completely clueless about children and doesn't even really like them.  SHE"S AN OBSTETRICIAN for God's sake.  She delivers babies, but she doesn't like kids?  Lately she's become more and more silly and ridiculous with her relationships with men.  She acts like a 19 year old idiot but she's been to Medical School.  I'm not sure if she's trying to channel some kind of stupid Ally McBeal lameness, but it's annoying.  Why make such a smart and successful woman look so ridiculous? It is lazy writing and I would expect better from Miss Kaling and crew.  The women she represents deserve better.

And please don't give me this "Go write a better show yourself you overly critical loser".  She's the one who got the show based on her talent and I can bitch about my disappointment without having to write a better show. She's the one wasting her comedic gifts and her fans deserve better.

More to come later on Why I thought the first season of "Friday Night Lights" was filled with every TV plot device every created in 22 episodes.

The problem with the pro-gun folks...

The biggest problem with the pro-gun lobby is that the people speaking the loudest and getting the most press are 1-Crazy as hell 2- misinformed about the reality. 

Aren't there any well-informed, rational people who could make a cogent case for guns?  Granted the case for everyone needing an assault weapon is a tough case to make, but that doesn't have to be the only position they put forth.
