There is much back-scratchin’ going on with sub-media (such as this joint) and mainstream media coverage of this show. We appreciate it, but we haven’t done up to the minute updates thus far. (I did enjoy, last week, Julianne Shepherd/ Cowboyz’n’Poodles’ coverage of the premiere and link to MKW’s appearance in a George Michael video)

Ready… okay. Episode 1. I’ve got some thoughts on it. duh.
I want to start with a question that builds off Shoals’s post about the newsroom. I, for one, am pretty psyched to have the Sun and the newsroom as a big part of the plot. But I’ve always been the HH-er who likes the Carcetti [...]
