Speaking of political discussion, Republicans on the House Choice and Innovation Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to pass a bill that aims to stamp out “leftist totalitarianism” by “dictator professors” in the classrooms of Florida’s universities.
'“Some professors say, ‘Evolution is a fact. I don’t want to hear about Intelligent Design (a creationist theory), and if you don’t like it, there’s the door,’” Baxley said, citing one example when he thought a student should sue.'
I really hope we get similar legislation here. I really want to take an astronomy class, so I can sue when they tell me that the theory that there is a teapot in orbit around the planet Pluto is ludicrous, I can give them their just desert.

I'm hesitant. I'll probably watch it (if for no other reason than that I think Steve Carrell is hilarious ("I love lamp! I love lamp.")), but I know NBC's reputation for porting British television to the US.
A typical review for Miss Congeniality 2: "The movie awkwardly tries to present Bullock and King as an interracial odd couple. But the overall result is charmless, even insulting."
The best review on Metacritic: "Isn't exactly good - like 'Legally Blonde 2,' ..."

The American re-made version of Office is showing on NBC and Global at 10:30 PM tonight. Don't think it will be as good as the Brit version but it is right after Apprentice.
