by equating cavemen to black people.

When it comes to the development of human kind that is one of my biggest problems with the theory of evolution. Evolution’s beginnings looked for a way to prove a white superiority. I think our founding Fathers got it right with “All men are created equal”. – Lorica

Now, about the event:

The TV critics press tour goes on in LA for 1.5 weeks, with the cable and the broadcast networks stepping up to preview and get pub for their new shows.

The “critics,” who ask these pseudo-tough questions (many of them from places like Gibbsville, PA, and the midwestern city of Zenith), are essentially junketeers, who’ve been living in posh hotel suites and on free food for this period of time, and have to show something in return. So they swagger in (some probably so drunk they can hardly stand up any more) and ask stupid questions in hope of getting a reaction.

The Washington Post’s Lisa de Moraes, the best among The Reporters Who Cover Television, and mediaweek.com’s blogger Marc Berman have been blogging there, and you may check their respective websites if you want to read them. Ms. de Moraes is especially deft at pillorying everybody in sight–critics, stars, and network suits.

For THE book on the junketeering life, read Coleson Whitehead’s ingenious novel “John Henry Days” (NY: Anchor Books, 2002).

And….are Geico’s gecko commercials a cultural smear (remember the English accent) or a reptilian one? Who should be holding a press conference – the Limey Anti-Defamation League or PETA? Maybe the MSM geniuses who concocted the “macaca” scandal can tell us who is the real victim – and which dastardly Republican is at fault.

Steve Skubinna – make sure the cash is in small, unmarked bills.

So anyone who immediately jumps to the conclusion that the cavemen have to be stand-ins for any race or minority might first ask himself why he thinks that way in the first place.

Me, I’m still seething over Norman Lear’s portrayal of white suburban guys as ignorant bigots. The wounds of Archie Bunker may never heal for me. I need some fat piles of cash to repair my self esteem.
