1. On the ropes, with one foot straddling the grave: the Texas Rangers. The boys in Red and Blue need to get some mojo going in the Arlington half of the World Series or they are done. Lose game #3 and the Orange and Black can start sliding the Dom Perignon off the ice in San Francisco.
2. The Undead: Jerry Brown. Left to his own devices, Brown who can hear a dime drop in falling snow, finally unleashed a flurry of media ads in the final month of his Cali campaign which woke up snoozing donks from their comatose Whitman stupor. Way to save your ass, Jerry. Didn't your mum tell you not to wait until the last moment to take care of business?
3. The Dead: Meg Whitman's 140 million.
4. Nevada Undead: Harry Reid vs Sharon Angle. Harry, the senate majority leader, and curmudgeon extraordinaire, trailing a tea party candidate who doesn't believe in Social Security or Medicare...will be a humiliating and spectacular defeat for the donks who underestimated Angle; exercised poor judgement, and were guilty of bringing a pocket knife to a gunfight.
5. Tele Dead: Friday Night Lights, one of the greatest series in the past decade, is in it's final year. The show filmed in Austin, Texas was not just about football. Season after season, the production went deep into their characters and brought a wealth of rich story lines from middle America which crossed over; using hand held cameras and scripts which were realistically brilliant, the show was always under-appreciated in the ratings, as most good shows are, but critically acclaimed. Friday Night Lights was the 'My So-Called Life' of the 2000's.
6. Wow. Completely Undead: Sleater-Kinney THE best rock band of the 90's has resurrected and morphed into...The Corin Tucker Band, and Wild Flag, a 4 member band with Janet Weiss and Carrie Brownstein. All systems on go. Turn the lights back on...
2. he couldnt outspend her, and even if he could, would you really want that? 8+ months of campaign commercials were enough, i dont know why you would want more. she spent all her $$$, and all she could get was a statistical dead heat.
ReplyDeletebut as much as i hate being bombarded with ads, when i first saw the "echo" ad, i wanted to stand and cheer. someone give meg a 'i spent $140m and all i got were these old talking points' t-shirt.
