It looks like a narrative is forming for the general election, and trust me, you've heard this song before: firmness versus nuance.
It's a Republican frame and that means the traditional media will be eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And THAT means there was only one winner in the debate last night.
If you have any doubt as to who that was, read this.
Who or what exactly is this House phenomenom? Not that I have that much extra time floating around to investigate things of the imagination on television. Especially because we mainly use the television set to watch DVD's of all kinds of feature films that we borrow free from the public library. That and Jay Leno, especially on the nights he reads the headlines.
Debate, you said? I think by now everyone would have figured out what's coming the morning after Tsunami Tuesday in early February 2008:
(Democrats), Senator Hillary Clinton.
(Republicans, Mayor Rudi Giuliani.
An excellent hospital drama starring Hugh Laurie as a crippled, brilliant, and curmudgeonly medical diagnostician. His character is loosely based on Sherlock Holmes (House == Holmes, Wilson == Watson, Vicodin == Cocaine, and House's address is 221B), and the interactions between him and his team, him and his bosses, and him and his patients is phenomenal. Some great writing goes into it.
Excellent TV rarely comes along, and this is one of its moments. If the library has copies, I'd recommend it. And there's always bittorrent.
Put your hands up and step away from your computer.
I can't, I have to finish watching the 1953 version of War of the Worlds. And I have Robinson Crusoe on Mars and The Day the Earth Stood Still in the lineup.

"There are only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and a verb and 9/11."
I kid you not!

You're under arrest.
It's a fair cop.

Right after that, I promise.
