Yep. And we have finally updated the Quotes Page. So hooray. Also this week's logo had an assist from frequent poster "Random Goblin."
Watched the first new episode of the Apprentice (season 3) last night, and I am having trouble with the term unscripted television, often used to describe reality shows. Because we have three seasons of apprentice and in all cases one particular drama seems to play out. The Sammy Scenario. In the first season, there was this guy called Sam who went in the board room three times and was finally eliminated because nobody on his time liked him and they all agreed that he had no future in the Trump Organization. In the second season, there was a character named Stacy J. who fulfilled the same role.
And now in the third season we have Danny (spoilers follow). It helps (in my book anyway) that he reminds me distinctly of Peter Buck (guitarist for R.E.M. with whom he shares a certain fashion sense) and Michael Moore (the facial features, and certain mannerisms). He takes a long time to come up with a pretty crummy promotional scheme, but Mr. Trump doesn't fire him because the real problem was that they couldn't sell the burgers even as fast as he brought people in because they didn't have enough people working the cash registers. So Danny lives another week, and if the pattern holds he will probably get another week after that.
Anyway it seems to be following a pretty solid script on that score--one Sammy per season of the Apprentice. But last season they couldn't really come up with another Omarosa (the break out character of the first season), nor could they come up with another Troy (the likeable character of the first season). We'll have to see how this season goes.
So you see we here at Make me a Commentator!!! are not just focused on Social Security.
