Wednesday stuff
1. Congratulations to Bobby Cox on breaking one of the longest-held records in baseball. May the record continue to be extended.

2. Bye-bye, Hastert.

3. Lisa Marie Presley records yet another unwanted duet with her dad. Forbidden Broadway parodied Natalie Cole's version of this gimmick as "Unforgivable." And at least she'd shown a lick of talent in her life before recording the duet. Also, the best duet with Elvis covering "In the Ghetto" was by Eric Cartman.

4. Painkiller Jane cancelled; no one notices.

5. RIAA: Deadbeats.

6. Not only can any moron become a Wikipedia editor (a long-known fact), but it looks like any moron can become a Wikipedia admin. That, or maybe they just recruit very special morons.

7. Amazon's latest DVD sale: Classic Sci-FI DVDs, with 50% off a bunch of them, like The Day the Earth Stood Still, Night of the Comet, Mad Max, Lost in Space (the show), and Willow.

8. How to cold-brew iced coffee.

9. Jose Offerman: Officially nuts. Seriously. I mean, charging the mound after dropping the bat is one thing. Charging it with the bat, using it as a weapon? No fucking way.

10. Stuff Magazine will be cancelled and only exist as a section within Maxim. Which only makes me wonder what difference there was in the first place (and no, I don't buy the ones listed in the article). Both were pretty much about the pinups of celebrities (or pseudo-celebs), with crappy articles thrown in. Will the "Stuff" section of Maxim be where they put crappier articles? Cheesecakier pinups?

I really wanted to like "Painkiller Jane." I just kept forgetting to watch it. I only hope "Flash Gordon" follows Jane soon if it doesn't get much much better.

I still haven't watched the premiere of FG (waiting for 'song to get back), but I've heard awful things. If it's canceled, maybe it'll mean Gina Holden stays on Blood Ties.

100% agreed about Flash.

The chick they cast as Dale can't act, let alone deliver a line in anything less than a hurried monotone...
The 'aliens' rather than being a wide-spread multi-cultural group are either monstrous or weirdly anglo-saxon and beige.
I mean really? a blond white guy as Ming? hello...

At least they guy playing Flash is decent - but he's a solitary bulb on an otherwise dead string of christmas lights...

I had absolutely zero desire to watch PKJ - which is odd for me, because I usually give new SciFi channel series at least a chance...
(speaking of which FG isn't going to make it... while the guy playing Flash is good, an Aryan/Germanic Ming and a generally Anglo-saxon cast that can't act -- dear ghod could they get a more monotoned actess for dale? -- it's got none of the appeal of the multi-cultural FG of radio, serials, TV and movie - too beige)
I readily admit that I skipped PKJ... not surprised it was cancelled, it came across as a sad ripoff of Nikita with supernatural powers...

Painkiller Jane wasn't too bad, as long as you don't think of it as a based on the comic and just a show on its own.

I won't miss it, because I ended up watching it if it was on, not at a specific time and that isn't good for a show, especially when TIVO isn't in ratings yet and I don't even have TIVO.

Somehow I don't think they promoted Painkiller Jane nearly enough ... since this was the first I found out that it even went to series.
