We've had a lot of celebrity deaths recently, everyone from Don Knotts to Kirby Puckett, but seeing this news when I looked at the CNN website this morning shook me up the most. Dana Reeve, Christopher Reeve's widow, has passed away at the age of 45, due to the lung cancer that she announced she'd been diagnosed with last fall. It seems extraordinarily cruel, after everything she'd been through in the last few years of her life, and all the grace and dignity she'd shown during those last ...

I've been hooked on Lost since the first second of the first episode. I really am addicted, y'know. Going through withdrawals since last week's episode was a repeat. Thank goodness this week's episode will be a good, fresh fix. I thought the vast majority of the commercials shown during the Super Bowl yesterday were downright stupid and not worth talking about. But there was one ad that aired during halftime that was brilliant. It took one of my favorite songs from the 80's, Robert Pa...

I don't know how many of you read Heart of the City, but it's a great comic strip. It never fails to make me laugh, because it's clever, funny, and appeals mightily to my inner geek. Today's strip is a prime example of why I love it...I can sympathize with the sentiment, believe me.

January 28, 1986...7 brave explorer souls made the ultimate sacrifice and were lost in one brief, horrible moment that is difficult to forget, and for me, still difficult to watch on TV after all these years. Let's remember their sacrifice today, and for goodness sake, let's get ourselves back into space!

Some people just shouldn't be allowed to breed. Pregnant mom of 14 arrested; 3 kids found in abandoned house MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A pregnant woman has been taken into custody after three of her 14 children, showing signs of abuse, were found taking refuge in an abandoned house, police said Friday. "The kids told us that the suspect regularly punches them with her fists and hits them with a broomstick and belt," police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said. Twin 9-year-old ...

I'm starting to feel like someone needs to create a pop-up blocker for our TVs. It was bad enough when channels starting using the station ID "bugs" in the lower right hand corners of our screens. Now it's gotten worse than that. Much, much worse. What is it with stations lately, with their advertising that pops up in the corners and takes up at least a full quarter of the screen right in the middle of programs? There's nothing worse than watching something and being really into what y...
