Instead, the Emmy Awards’ site has pages for each category as well as photos … Read more

Jane Lynch Amazing Emmy Awards 2011 Opening

The best thing about the Jane Lynch Emmy Awards 2011 Opening, other than Ms. Lynch herself (who I didn’t consider attractive on Glee, but off Glee, she’s not bad), was Leonard Nimoy as the President Of Television, who said “Jayne, you were the most logical person to host the Emmy Awards.” The other totally hilarious … Read more

President Obama’s Approval Rating Higher Than Ronald Reagan’s

The mainstream media has made much of U.S. President Barack Obama’s approval ratings news of late – especially when they’re low.
