Enough with Kate G. already

Somehow that harridan wasn't kicked off the show last night.

The DVR starts early and ends late, because I don't trust TV programmers. Shows sometimes go over their allotted time. Lost has done this a few times, which is why I don't stop watching until we see the Bad Robot , which is the modern version of the sweaty hand hammering MARK VII on behalf of Jack Webb. Anyway: I was FF through Dancing with the Stars, which I don't watch for one reason: it is not called "Dancing with the Stars And Then Kate Gosselin Is Shoved into a Woodchipper."

Somehow that harridan wasn't kicked off the show last night. I could tell, even while fast-fowarding through it all: she looks pouty and self-pitying and resentful, then explodes into joy. Did not literally explode, alas. I am resetting the DVR so I nefer see the show again, as long as she's on it, and if it means missing the start of Lost, fine. I'm pretty sure nothing important happens in the first minute anyway. Locke smiles, perhaps, but it's not a nice smile. Maybe Miles looks irritated.

All of which is a roundabout way of saying that Edyta Śliwińska's costume is probably the reason what's-his-name, the soap-opera star, danced so poorly. That dress would have distracted Captain Sully as we was trying to put the plane in the river.

More, if you care, here.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
