the stars at night...

...are big and bright.

for those of you doing the math...that's 1 out of every 4 people.

an open letter to anyone who says they will move to canada if obama wins

every election, some angry person (or group of persons) threaten to do this. so far, to my knowledge, not a single one has made good on his/her promise.

do us all a favor and either come up with a more creative way to voice your disapproval of the other candidate (i hear calling him a "terrorist" is en vogue right now) or follow through by packing your bags and moving to saskatoon.

i'm sure that the lovely people of canada would be thrilled to add your ranting and raving to their collective national pride. you would most certainly be welcomed with open arms, your life would once again be perfect and your freedoms no longer threatened.

by all means, do whatever it takes to get away from the horrible atrocities that will surely befall the good ole u.s. of a. in the event of your candidate losing.

and while you're there, please remember to enjoy your "socialized" health care.

sincerely,
cade

ABC Mulls Changes for Struggling Series

NEW YORK - American television network ABC is considering drastic measures to improve the chances of survival for it's fledgling sophomore dramedy, Pushing Daisies, a spokesman has said.

The critically acclaimed show starring Lee Pace and Anna Friel about a pie-maker who can bring dead people back to life has struggled to find an audience despite its groundbreaking originality and excellent use of highly stylized fantasy settings. Fans of the show have begun to express their fears that the show could be canceled in the very near future.

ABC executives want the fans to know that they hear the worry and are addressing the issue.

"We're very proud of the show, but feel that its relatively small audience and dwindling ratings are cause for some imaginative thinking," says Paul MacPherson, President of Creative Programming for the nation's second highest rated network, "We are not ruling out any option at this time."

One such option would be renaming the show in hopes of drawing in a wider viewership.

"A couple of ideas have been tossed around," MacPherson said. "We really want to tap in to what the American viewers are responding to and at the same time want to stick with the show's clever 'who-dunnit' theme."

A couple of new name suggestions mentioned were Law and Order: Dead/Not Dead and CSI: Pie Hole.

"We think they are great suggestions," MacPherson noted while somehow avoiding being crushed by the irony of his own job title.

In addition to possibly renaming the show, vast format changes were also being discussed. One such change would do away with the standard "narrative" structure of the show and implement a way for viewers to call or text in and choose the outcome of each episode. This would likely require the episodes to be recorded live which would all but sacrifice Production Designer Michael Wylie's rich visuals. When asked to comment, Wylie noted "It wouldn't be that big of a deal, really. They have assured me that what we lose in artistry we would more than gain back with the addition of the new host."

Negotiations for said host are not yet underway, but network insiders are speculating that both Ryan Seacrest and Nicole Richie have expressed interest.

"It's an exciting time for ratings-driven network television," MacPherson added.

Show creator Bryan Fuller is said to be contemplating the network's new direction in private and was not immediately available for comment.
