Busy day for us, so light posting, and a light wrapup. Big ups to ShortFormBlog for finding the best clip of yesterday’s exciting car chase, featuring the killer play-by-play of Shepard Smith.

Warehouse 13

9:00 (Syfy or whatever)

How the hell do you pronounce Syfy anyway?  See-fee?  Si-fi?  Syuff-fuff?  Sikkle-fickle?  Series premiere of a new Soff-foff original tonight, be there!

Burn After Reading

8:00 (HBO)

Many like to pan the Coen Bros. when they dabble in comedy, but how can you not adore Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s performances in this film? And J.K. Simmons!

South Park

9:00 (Comedy Central)

It’s been a rough day on all of us what with the Michael Jackson Memorial and, more importantly, the Michael Jackson Memorial Coverage. Unwind with a little time in the cruder parts of Colorado.

Late Night

Samuel Motherfucking Jackson and Entourage’s Kevin Connolly are on Conan (with Andrew Bird), Brüno desecrates Letterman’s set, and then I hope you liked last week’s Stewart and Colberts the first time, because they’re on again!

Tommy Boy

9:00 (Comedy Central)

Please see the above clip.

Nurse Jackie

10:30 (Showtime)

It’s like Dr. House, except it’s a lady (from The Sopranos!), and they can swear! And that girl who plays awkward girls a lot plays an awkward nurse!

Manhattan

8:00 (TCM)

Maybe this isn’t quite as classy as last week’s recommendation of Down Periscope, but we try to culture y’all readers.

Late Night

Howie Mandel informs us as to Howie Do It alongside Alanis Morrisette on Conan (musical guest: Death Cab for Cutie), Wimbledon champ Serena Williams and not-as-attractive-as-everybody-seems-to-think Heroes cheerleader Hayden Panettierre are on Letterman, and now Jon Stewart and Colbert take the week off.

Lost in the fog: Robert McNamara dies

Posted by Jeff in , ,

Robert S. McNamara, defense secretary under Kennedy and Johnson, passed away this morning at 93. His legacy is a complicated and controversial one, and Errol Morris’ 2003 documentary, The Fog of War, does a magnificent job stirring the pot of discussion. The entire film is available on YouTube (for now), and is a fantastic watch.  Part one is available above.
