You gotta give W. credit. I watched his Radio-TV Correspondents Dinner bit this evening and he was funny. His line, "A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone...Ah, those were the good ol' days." It busted me up. His comic timing is getting better.

A couple of guys from "Who's Line is it Anyway?" did some improv later on. It was a fun night until Karl Rove was invited to participate. Might be the most humorless man in the universe. Bush, very self-deprecating. Rove, very un-cooperative.

The Top 10 Eighties TV Child Actresses who grew up to be hot. Maybe the list should have read "...and still working."

This Idol recap proves once again the best writer covering the TV beat in America is Lisa de Moraes. Very funny.

Jack White is gonna play Elvis. Well, a little bit anyhow.

Video of the Week

Since Cadillac ads are in heavy rotation during March Madness, I am falling in love with an old fave, "Start!" by The Jam. Here's a live version of the tune, which is done very well. Things to look for: Don't know about the dude with the paper at the "Start!"; "It doesn't matter if we never meet again, what we have said will always remain."; drummer in a tie; that additional "see you" tucked in during the second repeat; is that lame moshing going on?; awfully tepid applause for a killer tune. Remember, "what you give is what you get."

I make it a point to ignore Indians spring training. Do we really think Grady Sizemore will hit under .200 this year? But it was hard to ignore Captain Cheeseburger getting hit with a line drive today. A day in which, not one, but two ESPN baseball experts (Stark and Olney) picked the Indians for the Wild Card.

Let's face it, the Indians starting pitching has been relatively injury-free the last couple of years. Nicks here and there, but nothing devastating. Liners off wrists can be devastating.
