How Clinton Can Win #
Every once in a while, something leaps out of this boring part in the election cycle and makes me pay attention. Today, it was this line from John Harwood on Meet the Press. He says it at the very start of the round table, at about 27:30 in the web video.
If we found out that there was a secret poker game when Tony Rezko was paying Barack Obama to write Jeremiah Wright’s sermons and to organize Muslim English professors form a new Weather Underground chapter, maybe Barack Obama could be stopped.
“Friday Night Lights” Renewed #
Since you probably don’t watch this show — which, by the way, is the only reason this is news-worthy — you may not care. But I do, so “YAY!”

Why Friday Night Lights Fails? #
Virginia Heffernan offers an interesting reason that Friday Night Lights — which is a critical darling — has failed to draw a large audience. I’m not sure she’s right, but the argument is interesting.
The fault of “Friday Night Lights” is extrinsic: the program has steadfastly refused to become a franchise. It is not and will never be “Heroes,” “Project Runway,” “The Hills” or Harry Potter. It generates no tabloid features, cartoons, trading cards, board games, action figures or vibrating brooms. There will be no “Friday Night Lights: Origins,” and no “FNL Touchdown” for PlayStation.
