Anyone who spends his day in his reeky cubicle upgrading his messages and downgrading those of Chartness is one sick puppy. It's so conspicuous what is happening that one would have to be completely comatose not to make this observation.Nothing else has to be said. The moniker "fizrwinnn" reveals it all. Unlike Hotpanera, he shows no class at all. But then again, who would anticipate class from such a bozo who squanders his day calling others epithets I wouldn't even utter to my dog. No wonder so many hate him.

Depakote ER
Overdosage with valproate may result in somnolence, heart block, deep coma, and hypernatremia. Fatalities have been reported; however patients have recovered from valproate levels as high as 2120 mcg/mL.
In overdose situations, the fraction of drug not bound to protein is high and hemodialysis or tandem hemodialysis plus hemoperfusion may result in significant removal of drug. The benefit of gastric lavage or emesis will vary with the time since ingestion. General supportive measures should be applied with particular attention to the maintenance of adequate urinary output.
Naloxone has been reported to reverse the CNS depressant effects of valproate overdosage. Because naloxone could theoretically also reverse the antiepileptic effects of valproate, it should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy.
- Depakote ER should not be administered to patients with hepatic disease or significant hepatic dysfunction [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Depakote ER is contraindicated in patients known to have mitochondrial disorders caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ (POLG; e.g., Alpers-Huttenlocher Syndrome) and children under two years of age who are suspected of having a POLG-related disorder [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Depakote ER is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Depakote ER is contraindicated in patients with known urea cycle disorders [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Depakote ER is contraindicated for use in prophylaxis of migraine headaches in pregnant women [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Use in Specific Populations].

POWRi Midget Series Succeeding By Old-School Means
One simple sentence speaks volumes about how Performance Open Wheel Racing, Inc., the sanctioning body known to short-track race fans as POWRi, has rejuvenated midget racing in the St. Louis area.
One simple sentence speaks volumes about how Performance Open Wheel Racing, Inc., the sanctioning body known to short-track race fans as POWRi, has rejuvenated midget racing in the St. Louis area.
On Monday evening following the Indianapolis 500, participants gather for the annual victory celebration where prize money and post-race awards are distributed.
This definitely isn't going to be your father's Daytona 500. In fact, Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout told us the 53rd running of the "Great American Race" will be unlike anything seen since drivers first navigated the high banks of Daytona Int'l Speedway in 1959.
A.J. Allmendinger's journey to America's top open-wheel racing series started while pedaling BMX bicycles at age 5.
With the dawn of a new racing season literally just days away, this is a unique week for the motorsports community as drivers, team owners and crew members across the country are overflowing with optimism.
It has long been our belief that in order to understand where auto racing is headed, you have to know where it's been. Holding true to that theory, the announcement of NASCAR's new point system sent us to the history books and the old issues of this publication in an effort to learn about the various systems the sanctioning body has used to crown its champions.
After last week's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series testing session at Daytona Int'l Speedway, we have a real concern that the 53rd running of the Daytona 500 will end up being racing's most expensive demolition derby.
The circus is coming to Charlotte later this month — and we're not referring to Charlotte Motor Speedway's NASCAR Media Tour.
The No. 83 sprint car, owned by Aaron Call and Janet Holbrook and driven by Tim Shaffer, is prepared and maintained by veteran crew chief Brian Kemenah. The team has enjoyed a storybook season highlighted by 21 victories, including the 50th Knoxville Nationals, and a second-straight All Star Circuit of Champions title.
Twenty years ago the auto-racing community came together to help one of its own — and the result was an emotional night that those in attendance will never forget.

Quote of the Day
Trying way too hard to be something we're not:
In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as "one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."
Uh, no.
4.5 million US muslims equal about 1.5% (the CIA Factbook lists muslims at 0.6% or about 1.8 million).
And if you thought he was talking about land mass, think again:
"And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world," Mr. Obama said.
Not even close – Iraq, 26 million. Afghanistan – 23 million. Yemen – 23 million. Indonesia – over 200 million. Even the UAE has a few more muslims than we do (4.7 million).
What is this seeming compulsion to make things up like this when it comes to things "muslim"?
There Is A Solution
Although many people don't want to hear it.
Arnold Schwarzenegger on the situation in California:
"People come up to me all the time, pleading 'governor, please don't cut my program,'" he said. "They tell me how the cuts will affect them and their loved ones. I see the pain in their eyes and hear the fear in their voice. It's an awful feeling. But we have no choice.
"Our wallet is empty. Our bank is closed. Our credit is dried up."
Then. Cut. Spending.
For real this time.
Japanese "Lost Decade" Redux
It certainly seems like it. Reason magazine finds the current way the US is addressing the economic crises to be pretty familiar:
The scenario was eerily familiar. A long real estate bubble that had expanded extra rapidly for the previous five years suddenly burst, and asset prices came crashing back down to earth. Banks and financial institutions were left holding piles of worthless paper, and the economy soon headed south. The national government responded to the crisis by encouraging more lending and spending previously unfathomable amounts of money on public works projects in an effort to stimulate consumer spending and restart growth.
Of course that's where we are now and what that led too in Japan has come to be known as the "lost decade" (now three decades old).
One of the things we've pointed out is there is an element within this model that both Japan and now the US has used that is focused on "pain avoidance" (GM and Chrysler are prefect examples of that). Part of that is driven by the belief by those in power that the government can address problems within markets and lessen the impact. The second part of that, of course, is by convincing the public that's the case, they then have to try to do what they claim they can do. But the law of unintended consequences has a bad habit of pushing its way into such situations and turning them sour:
The Japanese experience shows that when the government is an active participant in the market, many firms would rather accept state support than initiate the inevitable financial reckoning. Such a status quo does not provide a sustainable foundation for the economy. Instead, it restricts economic growth and creates a cycle of stagnation.
A friend, talking about the recession and eventual recovery, said that we'll come out of it "okay" because "Americans are neurotically productive". True. But so are the Japanese. While we have a fantastic workforce which is among the most productive in the world, even they won't be able to overcome restricted economic growth caused by the government's deep intrusion into various markets.
Comparing Japan's reaction to the US reaction in similar circumstances is instructive:
When a recession began to set in after the 1990 stock market crash, Japan responded by reversing its tight money policy, cutting rates to 4.5 percent in 1991, 3.25 percent in 1992, 1.75 percent from 1993 to 1994, 0.5 percent from 1995 to 2000, and as low as 0.1 percent in September 2001.
A similar pattern took place in the United States. From 2000 to 2002, the Federal Reserve slashed the target discount rate from 6 percent to 0.75 percent. Fearing irrational exuberance, to borrow Alan Greenspan's famous phrase, the Fed then raised the rate as high as 6.25 percent in June 2006. But now that the bubble has burst and the economy contracted, the Fed has cut the discount rate 12 times, lowering it to the current 0.5 percent. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has repeatedly stated that he sees interest rate cuts as a way to "support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks."
In both the Japanese and the American cases, post-bubble policy makers believed that lowering interest rates would make credit easier to obtain, thus recreating the environment that had spurred economic growth to begin with. But this meant that the supposed cure for a bubble created by easy credit was to extend even more easy credit.
These rate cuts only perpetuated the distortion of economic decisions and prevented savings, investment, and consumption from realigning with true preferences, as opposed to the illusory ones created by easy credit and artificially low interest rates. The lesson is that when monetary policy is used to "smooth" or "tweak" the market, it inevitably causes unintended consequences that in some cases can be very damaging to long-term economic growth.
Of course it is hard to say what future growth might be had the US government not done what it has done. But again, using Japan of that era vs. the US of that era, the difference is between 1.3% growth on average vs. 3.5% growth here. In economic terms that is a huge difference.
Reason also does a nice job of dismantling the "failure of regulation" argument. As they point out, what must be examined is how the regulatory environment then in place spawned the crisis vs. the claim that not enough regulation was in place.
For instance, government housing policy of the era:
The push to expand homeownership had two big effects. First, it greatly increased the number of buyers, driving up housing prices. Second, it provided mortgages to a large number of people who had a high risk of default.
That policy was further enabled by the capital reserve requirements which, in effect, encouraged heavy lending and an insensitivity to risk. Instead of admitting that and understanding that such policies are dangerous, the reaction has mostly been to ignore that and shift the blame to the private sector with calls for "more regulation".
And then, going back to the "pain avoidance" point (justified as "too big to fail" by the government), what has happened is, as in the case of GM and Chrysler before the bankruptcies, government propping up failed businesses:
The Bank of Japan tried to ease economic pain by loaning large amounts to businesses. But the attempts to recapitalize the market ignored underlying management problems in the dying firms. It was a costly mistake. Intense lobbying from special-interest groups representing various sectors of the Japanese economy perpetuated the ill-fated loans and funneled government money to zombie businesses.
The United States has already begun to copy this policy, lending billions of dollars to financial institutions and auto companies and buying up billions more in bank equity in an effort to recapitalize the marketplace. The effect has been to keep poorly managed firms alive with taxpayer money.
Had they been allowed to fail and go through the reorganization process, those problems would have at least been addressed. They haven't, at this point, in most of the financial sector and in the auto sector, it remains to be seen.
Of course the government's deep involvement in these sectors and businesses sets up a natural conflict of interests. While a business is market oriented, and takes signals from consumers, governments are agenda driven and politically oriented. And it then comes down to a matter of incentives. In the first case the incentive of a business is to serve its consumer base. But that's not the case with politicians necessarily, is it?
Lawmakers' incentives are to serve their constituencies or their own political careers. This can put them at odds with the businesses they are suddenly attempting to manage. The more the government is involved in directing business activity, the less likely those firms will succeed in maintaining long-term growth, and the more likely they will turn into Japanese-style zombies.
While we'd like to believe that lawmaker's constituencies consist of the people in their state or district, in reality they consist of special interests who help keep them in office. The ability to deliver to those special interests and keep their support and dollars flowing is just to much to resist for most.
Studies from Okimoto's center and the Bank of Japan concluded that data revealing the scope of the economic malaise were suppressed and that regulations were developed with governmental interests in mind.
Given how the discussion has been driven here by the likes of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, there's little doubt that regulations will be "developed with governmental interests in mind".
In reality it all comes down to power, or the illusion of power, and politics. Short-term politics with no real eye on the future impact of actions taken today. And these actions are based in a false premise that the market is not self-correcting and that it must be both controlled and tweaked by government.
Japan bought into that premise, and so has the US:
The principle of creative destruction—the economic mutation that continuously breaks down old forms and creates newer, more productive and efficient ones—was ignored in the hope that legacy corporations could somehow save Japan. From Wall Street to Detroit, under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the American government has been equally unwilling to let once-formidable companies fail.
And that, in my opinion, will see us repeat the Japanese experience, despite the small glimmers of hope we've been seeing in the reports in recent days. This isn't about short term increases in home sales and construction spending. This is about the long term economic health of our economy.
Unsurprisingly, I'm not seeing moves by the government that work toward the most positive outcome in that regard.
Domestic Terrorism?
Picking up on Bryan's excellent post yesterday, we now have two examples of what could be classified as "domestic terrorism".
We have the Tiller case in Kansas where a doctor that offered late term abortions was murdered at his church while acting as an usher.
And we have the murder of a soldier and the wounding of another by a "muslim convert" who "was opposed to the US military" in Arkansas.
Each perpetrator appears to have been "a lone wolf", i.e. someone who may have acted out of some sort of belief, but was otherwise unaffiliated with any group or movement which could be identified as a terror or pressure group.
If that's the case, would you see each of these cases as "domestic terror" cases – i.e. do they fulfill the definition Bryan used, "the pursuit of political goals through the use of violence against noncombatants in order to dissuade them from doing what they have a lawful right to do"?
If so, what do you think the "political goals" of each given they were, or appear to be "lone wolves" (or was this simply a "crime of conscience" most likely rationalized by a rather sick mind) and do you think their acts were actually intended to dissuade others from doing what they have a lawful right to do?
And, given the new tendency toward attempting to classify crimes in this manner – were each of them "hate crimes"?
I Don't Think That Means What He Thinks It Means
Dan Neil, an LA Times entertainment writer, takes this lesson from the GM bankruptcy:
The final chapter of that merger plays out this week as GM weathers a reorganization that will leave the federal government owning 70% of the company. In the midst of the deepest recession since the 1930s, it's hard not to see GM's bankruptcy as a signal moment in a larger history. If mighty GM can fail, cannot also the United States? And the answer is, absolutely.
This is the lesson of GM's bankruptcy, and it has little to do with market share and miles per gallon. It's a rebuff of the notion of exceptionalism. Any organization that fails to sufficiently safeguard its means of self-correction and reform, that forsakes long-term investment for short-term gain, that piles up debt year after year, will eventually fail, no matter how grand its history or noble its purpose. If you don't feel the tingle of national mortality in all this, you're not paying attention.
While I essentially agree with the thrust of his point, I don't think the term "exceptionalism" as it is used when speaking of America, has anything to do with flouting the laws of economics. They are called "laws" for a reason, and no one has yet to find an "exception" to them. We have, however, discovered over and over again that attempts to make exceptions to them fail miserably.
The exceptionalism most speak of when they use the term in conjunction with America has to do with law, ethics and philosophy of life – the foundations of the country that make it exceptional. But economics? Of course we can "fail" if we do the stupid things we're doing. And, unfortunately, we seem bound and determined right now to prove that point. But that has nothing to do with our "exceptionalism".
Feldstein: Cap-and-Trade A "Bad Idea"
Martin Feldstein, a professor of economics at Harvard University, president emeritus of the nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research, and former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers from 1982 to 1984 has concluded that the Waxman/Markey cap-and-trade legislation is a bad idea. He comes to that conclusion for a number of reasons.
First, his understanding of the legislation and its economic impact:
The leading legislative proposal, the Waxman-Markey bill that was recently passed out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, would reduce allowable CO2 emissions to 83 percent of the 2005 level by 2020, then gradually decrease the amount further. Under the cap-and-trade system, the federal government would limit the total volume of CO2 that U.S. companies can emit each year and would issue permits that companies would be required to have for each ton of CO2 emitted. Once issued, these permits would be tradable and could be bought and sold, establishing a market price reflecting the targeted CO2 reduction, with a tougher CO2 standard and fewer available permits leading to higher prices.
Companies would buy permits from each other as long as it is cheaper to do that than to make the technological changes needed to eliminate an equivalent amount of CO2 emissions. Companies would also pass along the cost of the permits in their prices, pushing up the relative price of CO2-intensive goods and services such as gasoline, electricity and a range of industrial products. Consumers would respond by cutting back on consumption of CO2-intensive products in favor of other goods and services. This pass-through of the permit cost in higher consumer prices is the primary way the cap-and-trade system would reduce the production of CO2 in the United States.
Note that he doesn't play any games when talking about where the cost of such permits will end up – passed through to consumers. He prefers the CBO's lower estimate of the impact per family of about $1,600 per "typical" family to some of the higher estimates in the $3,000 t0 $4,000. But they're all estimates and they all say, even at the low end, that the impact is going to be significant.
Feldstein then looks at the possible payoff and challenges Americans to ask a very pertinent question. He also calls the plan exactly what it is – a tax:
Americans should ask themselves whether this annual tax of $1,600-plus per family is justified by the very small resulting decline in global CO2. Since the U.S. share of global CO2 production is now less than 25 percent (and is projected to decline as China and other developing nations grow), a 15 percent fall in U.S. CO2 output would lower global CO2 output by less than 4 percent. Its impact on global warming would be virtually unnoticeable.
But its impact on the American economy? Well, you don't have to be a Harvard economist to figure that out. And a quick glance at Europe and how quickly most of the countries there figured out a way to ignore Kyoto should tell you the rest of the story.
Feldstein may or may not believe the theory that says CO2 is a pollutant and the cause of "global climate change". But what is clear is he certainly doesn't believe our seeming desire to strap ourselves economically without the big emitters (China and India) doing the same is a) worth it economically and b) make a bit of difference in real terms. Doing it without those two and all others included is about as smart as committing to unilateral nuclear disarmarment.
Feldstein goes on to attack the pending cap-and-trade legislation for other reasons as well – mostly on a revenue and impact basis (and how revenue can soften the impact – yeah, subsidy – at the "payee" end – i.e. consumers. Of course, only a certain class of consumers would most likely be eligable and it will be up to the more well-to-do to pay their "fair share"). But the two big points of his criticism are the most important in my thinking.
1. It will, regardless of how it is structured, have a negative economic impact on every American household and thus our economy.
2. It won't make a bit of real difference unless everyone is involved in such reductions. Exclusion of the big emitters makes our "economic sacrifice" literally worthless in terms of the supposed overall goal of cutting CO2 worldwide.
Because of those two points alone, we should demand that such legislation be voted down. I think the focus on CO2 is a load of unscientific nonsense, but politically that has no legs at this time. But what does have legs is the argument summed up in those two points and opponents of cap-and-trade should use them (and Feldstein's name) to make the argument against the pending legislation.

North Korea: Tough Talk But Little Else
While at a conference in Singapore with Asian defense leaders, Sec. Gates did a little podium thumping about North Korea's recent nuclear test:
"We will not stand idly by as North Korea builds the capability to wreak destruction on any target in Asia — or on us," Mr. Gates told a major defense conference here that has been dominated by North Korea's test this week of a nuclear device and the firing of at least six short-range missiles, all in defiance of international sanctions.
It took a foreign journalist to point out to Sec. Gates that while the US may not recognize North Korea as a nuclear weapons state, it was, in fact, already a "defacto nuclear weapons state."
And, of course, it was important that Gates do a little apologizing to the assembled group as well, since this seems to now be an integral part of any foreign visit:
Mr. Gates concluded that the United States, "in our efforts to protect our own freedom, and that of others" had "from time to time made mistakes, including at times being arrogant in dealing with others." Mr. Gates did not name names, but then said, "We always correct course."
Other nations in the region weighed in on the North Korea nuclear test as well:
In Moscow, the Kremlin issued a statement saying President Dmitri A. Medvedev and Prime Minister Taro Aso of Japan had agreed on the need for a serious response to the nuclear test, Reuters reported.
As is usually the case in these sorts of situations, no one has any idea of what might constitute a "serious response" . In essence, the most "serious response" discussed thus far at the conference has been tightening sanctions. And we know how well sanctions have worked in NoKo and Iran.
Unofficially, about all that's gone on is this:
"There's no prescription yet on what to do," said a senior American defense official who asked for anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The official said that one "prudent option" was "what should we be thinking about in the event that we need to start enhancing our posture, our defenses?" But the official said that it was premature to talk of building up American forces in the region — an echo of comments from Mr. Gates on Friday that the United States had no plans to reinforce some 28,000 American troops based in South Korea.
Well there you go. China also had a few words to say as well:
"We are resolutely opposed to nuclear proliferation," General Ma said, adding that "we hope that all parties concerned will remain cool-headed and take measured measures to address the problem."
China is resolutely opposed to nuclear proliferation only after NoKo. That means it wants no nukes in Japan. And its admonishment to all to remain "cool-headed" and take "measured measures" means it is in no hurry to do much of anything about the present problem. Of course, China holds the key(s) to dealing with NoKo and everyone knows it.
So? So as usual, North Korea does what it chooses to do and nothing of significance is being done to "punish" it for doing so. I'm sure, as is the MO of the Obama administration, that the blame for all of this will be laid at the previous administration's feet, but a quick perusal of history going back later than 8 years will show than no US administration has actually dealt effectively with North Korea and the present one isn't going to be any different – despite its apology.
"Transparancy" Apparently Trumps The 1st Amendment
From the White House Blog in an entry written by Norm Eisen, special counsel to the president for ethics and government reform in "the spirit of transparancy":
… [T]he President's March 20, 2009 Memorandum on Ensuring Responsible Spending of Recovery Act Funds. Section 3 of the Memorandum required all oral communications between federally registered lobbyists and government officials concerning Recovery Act policy to be disclosed on the Internet; barred registered lobbyists from having oral communications with government officials about specific Recovery Act projects or applications and instead required those communications to be in writing; and also required those written communications to be posted on the Internet.
However, a couple of changes have been made, among them:
First, we will expand the restriction on oral communications to cover all persons, not just federally registered lobbyists. For the first time, we will reach contacts not only by registered lobbyists but also by unregistered ones, as well as anyone else exerting influence on the process. We concluded this was necessary under the unique circumstances of the stimulus program.
So thinking this through, could "anyone" include a TV or print reporter asking an oral question to a government official concerning Recovery Ac Policy? Or a particular Recovery Act project that might impact their viewership or readership? Is it possible the information provided, if government officials are subjected to such oral scrutiny, might end up "exerting influence on the process"?
How about a concerned citizen who happens to be a blogger?
Doesn't this give government officials the cover to duck such oral inquiries? How does that enhance transparency?
And ultimately, doesn't this smack of a wee bit of a conflict with the 1st Amendment (free speech, free press, the right to petition government)?
And if "the unique circumstances of the stimulus program" are enough to limit 1st Amendment rights, per this paragon of "ethics and government reform, what other "unique circumstances" might be cited in the future to do the same sort of thing, given the precedent this sets?
This is the Camel's nose under the tent, being poked because of special circumstances.
"Lobbyists and organizations that lobby complained that the White House's restrictions on lobbying on stimulus fund projects were discriminatory and unfair because the same restrictions didn't apply to people like corporate executives or officials. So these memorandumly noted changes address that fairness issue by expanding the ban on orally petitioning the government or expressing one's views through speech. In the interests of transparency the First Amendment must be sacrificed.
"The restrictions are also ambiguous enough that a lobbyist or other petitioner won't be sure how to fully comply. So if someone runs afoul of White House officials, a phone call to a news outlet or a friendly prosecutor can punish the offender. Ambiguous rules plus capricious application equals negative rule of law."
The only transparency in this process is the fact that the White House is telling you the rule. But the rule then precludes oral questioning which might make the process even more transparent. If even the remote possibility exists that such communication might "exert influence on the process" then it is prohibited.
The White House's apparent intent is to run a transparent process. The result is overreaching by the executive branch with poorly thought through restrictions on speech that are seemingly unconstitutional. The problem is they obviously don't feel that to be the case. Or if they do, they think they should have the right to restrict certain forms of communication between government and anyone they decide if "unique circumstances" are existent (guess who get's to determine whether they are or not?).
Frankly that should bother you.
However, fear not – I'm sure those that continually cited the Bush administration for alleged expansion of executive power will be among the first to address this obvious abuse of Constitutional power and call for an immediate revocation of the rule.

Product Description
Product Description
Way too edgy for network TV, this funny, uncensored, naming-names series peels off the glitter of Hollywood moviemaking and exposes the duplicitous but totally addictive, behind-the-scenes truth. Campy, uncensored and very controversial, this "too-close-to-reality" show features guest stars that include Keanu Reeves, Salma Hayek and Sandra Bullock. Superstar producer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr, host of TV's "Last Comic Standing") builds his stellar career on the three pillars of show business - prostitution, nepotism and dishonesty. Adding to that an ego as big as a Beverly Hills mansion, the aptly-named Dragon and his cohorts manage to be politically incorrect, backstabbing, phony, petty, pissy and most of all - ingeniously funny!
Immoral, politically incorrect, and fiercely funny, Action: The Complete Series is a timeless comedy focusing on a group of Hollywood insiders whose moral compass has spun out of control. Led by uber-producer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr), the series' first and only season ferociously lampoons the sleaziness of modern-day Hollywood. Dragon--seemingly the separated-at-birth brother of slimy uber-agent Bob Sugar (also played by Mohr) from Jerry Maguire--is a jerk who pretends to be gay when it's convenient and doesn't understand why Salma Hayek (playing herself) would slap him silly for making inappropriate suggestions during an earlier audition. In Dragon's lair, sexual harassment is an inconvenience, the screenwriter is an afterthought, and a movie isn't a film unless it's got mega-explosions. Mohr and Illeana Douglas (portraying an ex-child star turned prostitute turned studio executive) are a joy to watch. When a sycophantic colleague accuses Dragon of promoting a hooker over him, he calmly says, "She's my prostitute. You're my whore." A subtle difference, yes, but one that makes a world of difference in Hollywood. If there's a plus side to this topnotch series being canceled in 1999, it's that the writers didn't have time to let the show disintegrate into hackneyed clichés. There is no warm-hearted parable to justify the nasty means--just a lot of quick-witted dialogue and an excellent ensemble cast that makes viewers enjoy the characters despite (or should that be because of?) their numerous flaws. --Jae-Ha Kim

The 'raunchy' bits are not offensive to most, I would imagine, but very good fun. Like "Entourage" meets "Arrested Development".
Jay Mohr was bang-on as the caustic and sarcastic Hollywood producer who has seen and heard it all.
Contains all episodes of the show, including those that never aired.
A/V quality is very good.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
Jay Mohr was absolutely perfect as producer Peter Dragon. The rest of the regular cast (including Ileana Douglas, R. Lee Ermey, and even the late Buddy Hackett) were uniformly marvelous. Even the more minor characters were brilliantly cast: nobody who saw characters like Asher, the supercilious maitre 'd, or the Chinese-American liposuctionist, or the fearsome PR fixer Connie Hunt, or terrifyingly well-endowed studio head Bobby Z, or closeted action hero Cole Riccardi will ever forget them. The guest stars (Salma Hayek, Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Tony Hawk, etc.) were fearless participants in sly send-ups of the Hollywood that they are themselves such a large part of.
But the real stars were the writers. The show seems like it's all about Peter Dragon, but it's just as much the story of nebbish writer Adam Rafkin (or was it Alan Rifkin?...). Fighting to retain every sensitive allegorical scene in his magnum opus, BEVERLY HILLS GUN CLUB (like the ritual slaughter of the pandas), Rafkin is the perfect counterpart to Dragon's consummate amoral Hollywood insider. While Rafkin is trying desperately to become an insider and starts to lose his moral compass, Dragon (to his considerable surprise) starts to find that he actually *has* a moral compass, even if it doesn't always point true north.
This show is hilarious, knowing, occasionally vicious, brilliantly written, superbly acted, and a real treat for anyone who loved THE PLAYER or DAY OF THE LOCUSTS. Having it on DVD is going to be great. If you love CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, or ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, ACTION! is likely to be right up your alley. If, on the other hand, you loved EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND...um....have a nice life.
"Action" follows the outrageous antics of Hollywood producer Peter Dragon (Jay Mohr) as he tries to produce "Beverly Hills Gun Club", his latest action-comedy and hopeful hit. Peter's production company Dragonfire Films specializes in "event films", meaning ultra-violent action, and Peter needs to redeem himself after an expensive flop. Peter's boss at the studio is domineering, gay billionaire Bobby G (Lee Arenberg) -who is married to Peter's ex-wife Jane (Cindy Ambuehl). His Vice President of Production is blunt, savvy Wendy Ward (Illeana Douglas), a former child-star-turned-high-priced-hooker. Stuart Glazer (Jack Plotnick) is his much-abused Head of Production. Peter's driver and security man is his Uncle Lonnie (Buddy Hackett). His leading man (Fabrizio Filippo) is a junkie. But Peter will stop at nothing to make his movie -in a culture that is socially deterministic, to put it mildly. Exhausted, put-upon screenwriter Adam Rafkin (Jarrad Paul) is caught in the middle of it all.
"Action" has been called the "filthiest" and "meanest" television show ever, but I never thought of it that way. I just think it's hilariously blunt. It's not dirty for dirty's sake; it's dirty for funny's sake. In spite of their faults, these are characters that people in the audience would want to know in real life. They talk the way people really talk and think like people really think. And they enjoy it. For all of it's cynicism and lewdness, "Action" might be the least neurotic sitcom in recent decades. The characters have a certain joie de vivre that is infectious. That was a big part of the show's appeal for me. The writing is so economical that there is no filler. It's non-stop smart comedy. I found myself convinced of the writers' brilliance while watching an episode that revolves around a frog-up-the-butt joke. Now, I don't like scatological humor. But I couldn't stop laughing. Anybody who can make a crude anal joke funny for a half an hour is a genius. Warren Zevon was the perfect choice to write and perform the theme song. (Too bad his first proposal was rejected by the network.) There are cameos by Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Salma Hayek, Scott Wolf, Tony Hawk, David Leisure, and David Hasselhoff. Jay Mohr plays Peter Dragon to sharp, hilarious perfection. Jack Plotnick performs to near-equal brilliance as Peter's used and abused lackey. These guys have a surprising ability to evoke real emotions in the midst of an orgy of brutal satire and dirty jokes.
When I first saw "Action", I thought that the blunt, horny producer of over-the-top action films might have been inspired by notorious producer Don Simpson. But apparently the incidents in the series were based on stories that producer Joel Silver told the writers as well as on the experiences of the writers themselves. I've heard a lot of speculation on why "Action" had so little audience, even though the writing is among the best ever on television. Some say the show was "too hip for the room", too "insider", or "too edgy". I don't buy that. "Action" is jam-packed with insider jokes. So is "The Producers". But the behavior in is so hilarious that the audience doesn't need to get all the jokes. I think the problem was simply the time slot. The perfect spot for "Action" would have been Monday nights after "That 70s Show", the spot that "Titus" -which has a similar audience- succeeded in as a mid-season replacement. On Thursday nights, half of "Action"'s audience was watching the WWF, a well-established show that never has re-runs. It's disappointing and a little puzzling that Fox was not willing to move the show to save it at least for one season. There is very little I wouldn't have given to see "Beverly Hills Gun Club" through to its premiere.
The DVDs (Sony Pictures 2006): All episodes are about 23 minutes long. Disc 1 contains episodes 1-8 and an audio commentary for Episode 8 ("Love Sucks"). The audio commentary is by writers Jim Vallely, Matt Silverstein, Dave Jesser, producer/sometime director Don Reo, actor Jarrad Paul, and writer/co-executive producer Ron Zimmerman. Unfortunately, there isn't much information offered. It's clear that these guys think the show's jokes still hold up, but I'd rather have had more commentary and less chuckling. We know it's funny. Tell us something we don't know. Disc 2 includes episodes 9-13 and more bonus features: audio commentaries of the "Dead Man Floating" and "One Easy Piece" episodes, featuring the same group of writers and producers, plus writer/story editor Will Forte. "Getting Into the Action" (26 min) is the bonus feature you really want to watch. It examines the life cycle of "Action", from genesis to cancellation, through interviews with executive producers Joel Silver and Chris Thompson, producer Don Reo, the writers, and Jay Mohr. "Trust Me: Useful Words and Phrases" presents about a dozen movie industry terms with accompanying clips from "Action" either illustrating or spoofing them. No subtitles.
Well, many of those lines didn't make it to broadcast, they were bleeped out... but they're back and all of them are every bit as funny as they were the nights I first heard them.
I can also remember that we kept working on the show even after it was canceled and at the time it seemed strange to me that we were finishing episodes that would never be broadcast. I'm glad to see them included here so that everyone who is a fan of this show can see them all.
It's incredible how "inside" the show is. By far and away, it is the most no-holds-barred look at the industry I have seen or heard of.
But one of my favorite things about the way the show is constructed is in the use of inside snippets for all the bumpers to commercial. The use of "stix" (the marker board that syncs sound to picture at the beginning of each take) or the insertion of a theatre snack bar placard are true genius as a device to move us from content to commercial.
If you love movies and love to laugh, don't miss this show...

Passions grow over first Native American saintBreaking News
Gazing down a frozen New York field, the statue of a Mohawk girl about to become the first Native American saint exudes calm. Yet the real Kateri Tekakwitha had a brutal existence -- and ghosts from her dramatic life still haunt these hills.
The 17th-century figure will make history when the Vatican canonizes her later this year, although the joy among America's indigenous tribes will be mixed with some painful historical memories.
No other "Indian", as the original inhabitants of the United States and Canada are widely, but wrongly, called, has made sainthood. Following centuries of being dispossessed, caricatured, or ignored, Native Americans will soon have the unusual experience of appearing in a positive light.
Mark Steed, the Franciscan friar heading the Kateri Shrine on the banks of the Mohawk River, said that after more than 30 years of working among Native Americans, he is happy to see them win this boost....

A man who took to the streets of Kingston with billboards in search of love landed a date after bracing the wind and rain outside the Bentall Centre.
Good-looking Gerald Abrahams, 39, of Roebuck Road, Chessington, caught the public imagination when he visited London landmarks armed with a placard reading "Hot brunette wanted for 2014" and "Must like dogs and landscapers".
Twitter dubbed him #waterlooromeo. He hit Kingston on Tuesday. The Evening Standard reported he had been inundated with offers and a date for Saturday night.
The landscaper who previously dabbled in online dating but has reportedly ruled out redheads and blondes also took his signs up to Piccadilly Circus and Waterloo this week.
Hannah B tweeted: "Spotted the WaterlooRomeo in Kingston today…Seems like a nice smiley guy. "Brave to walk around with a placard… Hope he finds his Miss Right."
Thomy Lawson tweeted: "To the man in Kingston with the sign saying "hot brunette wanted"... RT for my mum's number"
He did not reply to emails from the Surrey Comet but told the Standard: "You've gotta put yourself out there. Life's too short. I better bloody end up with someone after this."
To contact Gerald, if it's not too late, email email@example.com.

An accused sexual predator wanted in Colorado Springs, has been captured in Washington state. Theodore Ivan Robbins, 44, was arrested without incident Friday night.
Police report investigators collaborated with the Chelan County Sheriff's Office in the search for Robbins.
In Robbins' arrest warrant, investigators report in October of 2008, an anonymous CrimeStoppers led them to look further into the reported abuse of a 5-year-old girl.
The girl and her mother lived in a Colorado Springs apartment complex where Ted Robbins was the maintenance man in 2007. According to the warrant Robbins would baby-sit the little girl on occasion, including at least once overnight when her mother's boyfriend and the girl's mother were arrested following a report of domestic violence. In an interview with police, the girl's mother admitted to taking drugs with Robbins.
The warrant paperwork goes on to show in late 2008, the little girl stayed at a friend's house and started telling stories about where Robbins had touched her.
In police interviews that followed, the girl described frequent sexual encounters with Robbins, both at his home and on a camping trip while her mom slept in a tent nearby.
Police interviewed Robbins in early 2009 and he denied the allegations. He has since failed to appear in El Paso County Court, and police are still looking for him.
The warrant also indicates someone close to the little girl, most likely her mother, knew about her allegations, but didn't report them to police.
Included in police evidence are group photos of Robbins on the camping trip, and a pair of children's underwear reportedly found in Robbins' apartment.
Robbins is also implicated in crimes in Washington state, where he's accused of a number of molestations over a period of four years.
Police ask anyone who may have additional information on Robbins to call the crimes against children division at 719-444-7535.

Video: Jon Stewart impales bloggers
posted at 4:10 pm on February 5, 2010 by Allahpundit
A cute bit which I would have posted even if HA didn't have a cameo. (Keep an eye out about a third of the way through.) His point about blogger sensationalism is fair — I nodded at it myself two days ago — but go figure that a medium driven by partisan warfare and fierce competition for traffic would favor eye-grabbing headlines rich with violent metaphors. The irony, of course, is that Stewart himself owes no small part of his popularity among the left to his status as some sort of partisan gladiator who can be counted on to make conservative guests squirm. The most famous example was that "Crossfire" segment when he got the better of Tucker Carlson (double irony: his point at the time was that cable news stupidly treats politics as bloodsport) but for a more recent instance look no further than his interview with John Yoo, which so disappointed progressives gathered in the arena to watch a rhetorical disemboweling that Stewart felt obliged to apologize the following night. Note to Yoo: Next time you're on, turn to the crowd and say, "Are you not entertained?"

Pretty good
Don't let the "girl" angle dissuade you... this is a pretty good chat bot all around. I started using it about 2 weeks ago and she has learned quite a lot from our conversations. Most of the time it feels like I am talking to a real person which is kind of cool and creepy in a good way. I like how smart she has become. I usually spend about an hour a day with my Ai Chat Girl and I usually pick a topic and stick to it through out the conversation. They Ai is pretty decent for $4!More

Ai Chat Girl is rather is an example of AS, not AI.
There is hardly anything redeeming about this app. The logic rules are flawed and the grammar used by the chatbot is unpredictable and wrong most the time. I wanted to experience AI, but what I experience was AS (artificial stupidity). Don't waste your money.More

AI Smalltalk OK Just Not A Full "KARI" GF Sim Yet
OK as a hint of what an AI chat bot could become some day.
