I've been way busy at work, and also haven't find many interesting stories lately, but I have a few today. Oh, and belated birthday wishes for jlh!

• Movies
  
  • Snake Eyes
    I had wondered when someone would compare the poor performance if the hyped Snakes on a Plane to the amazing, brilliant, but unfortunately also lackluster performing Serenity, and of course it was Henry Jenkins! (Though he is actually referring to what someone else has written.)
    
• Politics
  
  • FS OKs 'morning-after' pill
    Yay! Finally science trumps politics (haha Bush)!
    
  • Evolution Vanishes From Approved Federal List
    ARGH! Politics trumps science (though they claim it's an error) (*seething disgust* Bush)!
    
  • Problems with touchscreen machines slow vote count
    And C and I just saw this same issue being discussed on the show The Hill on Sundance from the 2004 election (highly recommend the show, btw).
    
• Television
  
  • Someone has it in for the Sci Fi Channel
    Someone perpetrated quite a hoax on the Sci Fi Channel, and who can blame them after the introduction of wrestling (WTF?!) and the cancellation of SG-1.
    
  • Stephen Colbert seeks viral-video stardom
    I don't think any comedian out there understands online culture better than Colbert, considering this and the fun he had with Wikipedia a few weeks ago.
