Stop! You’re killin’ me

You’ll pardon me if I am highly amused by the fact that Tom Delay is accusing anyone of being “an unabashed partisan zealot”. Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, pot. Truly a textbook example of “It takes one to know one.”
I want something like War of the Worlds, but on TV
by Pete on September 23, 2005
Two episodes in, Threshold is still holding my attention. Another plucky female lead, this one a think-tank expert on disaster scenarios. She’s drafted into service by the government when one of the scenarios she has written is put into effect (…)
