“Dick” is great. Terrific performances all round – and Dan Hedaya is a suitably creepy Nixon. Also
the greatest theory ever about what was on the
missing section of tape :-)

Personally, I lost it on the SNL thing at “You can’t speak for all the mutants!”

Yes, see Dick; it’s a minor masterpiece of satire. But hey, the show absolutely belongs to Dave Foley’s Halderman—great, understated, funny stuff.

Looks like Rogers Cadenhead has scooped Drudge on the Deep Throat beat: Reporters have yet to discover [Joan Felt's] association with a spiritual group called Adidam... A lawsuit filed by three former Adidam members in 1985 alleged that adherents impoverished themselves while the group's founder lived opulently with nine wives and 30 followers on a Fiji island bought for $2.1 million from the actor Raymond Burr.

Even this week, a “deep throat party” would be in pretty bad taste.

How about a Felt Tip party? (Stolen from the New York Post’s headline) At least there, the pun is (mainly) on a pen.

I suppose you could go somewhere else with it, but let’s not.

Incidentally, rumor has it that the writer of Dick is married to blogger Roger Simon.

Also, everything you wanted to know about the Sith, but were afraid to ask, and play twenty questions with Darth Vader. Thank you, Ted. You have moved me faintly closer towards being a bodhisattva via my not nagging.

“Deep Throat parties”—only last week it would have been scandalous.

TOON OF THE DAY: Presidential “Payola”

“I have a report on Turquoise jewelry due in two days, and the president is trying the kill me!”

The guy that played Kissinger was the best.

See “Dick” this weekend for sure, people. Although when you watch it, think about who the hell greenlit the film- if you don’t know anything about Watergate, you won’t get some of the sly humor.

“You smell like cabbage.”
