Acidemic when bad scores happen to good movies

Small Screen
Defamer gives Joss Whedon fans yet more to worry about ... and Dollhouse hasn't even premiered yet
Defamer More gay drama from Grey's Anatomy. I don't even like or watch that show (if I can help it) but I find all the behind the scenes vitriol and confusing conflicts over the past couple of years eyebrow raising. Someday someone will write a terrific showbiz tell-all. What a nightmare that set must be.

Politics
As Little As Possible whips up a terrific personal "Election Reflection"
Sign this Petition This site has a rundown of California's Prop 8 battle but the best part is the brief history lesson on the Mormon church and their reversal from oppressed to oppressor. I love this ol' chestnut from the Mormon prophet Brigham Young (pictured right, img src , with 21 of his wives):
Marriage is a civil contract. You might as well make a law to say how many children a man shall have, as to make a law to say how many wives he shall have.
Marriage is apparently no longer a civil contract for Mormons but a sacred one man / one woman institution... except in heaven where it's still a one man / sisterwives type deal. Ah, the pungent stench of hypocrisy.
