After persistent recommendations by my Mad Pig brother, I decided to tell Tivo to fetch me a few episodes of Father Ted on BBC America. I’m hooked. Great show that takes aim at everything. I’ve now set up a season pass on Tivo (that’s a feature that records all episodes of a given show, regardless of what time they air). If you like British comedy, give Father Ted a shot.
Conan O’Brien’s site has a cool feature called “If they Mated,” which predicts the results of certain celebrity pairings. Sometimes funny. Sometimes terrifying. Always cause for concern.

“(I)t isn’t the government’s job to mandate patriotism. To me, mandating a pledge of allegiance to a government is something Saddam Hussein would do.”
— Jesse Ventura, quoted in New York Times Magazine (8/18/02)
The interview is packed with several other Jesse gems. Gotta love the guy’s willingness to speak his mind.
