Emily's Reasons Why Not: Pilot
Category: Show Review

PM Rating System

EmilyGrade: B | Genre: Comedy
Summary: While its still early in the game, I think its worth hanging around the bar for a few more episodes to see if Emily can take shots with the big boys, or if she's destined to be wasted under the table with a cocktail napkin glued to her forehead.

You've got to feel for ambitious, single women. They are constantly fighting to be independent and taken seriously professionally, yet always keeping an eye peeled for any errant knight in shining armor that might saunter into the local Starbucks. Sex and the City was the show that came along and spoke their language, airing out all their problems and the delicious frustrations with men. Then one day they wake up, and their voice is silenced, only to show up neutered on TBS. The closest thing they have to eternal bliss is a bunch of wickedly Desperate Housewives. What's a girl to do? Well ABC thinks it has the answer with its new star vehicle for Heather Graham entitled Emily's Reasons Why Not. While it may smack as a cheap designer knockoff of Sex, it is a return to the City for the single ladies everywhere who are not quite ready to settle down in the kettle of desperation, brewing in suburbia.

Iraq Costs Could Top $2 Trillion
Category: Politics
Posted by Mark Runyon | January 10, 2006 | 12:03 AM

Anybody got an extra $2 trillion lying around to get our government out of this financial mess called Iraq? A Nobel Prize winning economist from Columbia and a Harvard lecturer sat down and ran the numbers while specifically looking at the long-term projected health care costs of the thousands of wounded US soldiers. Even their most conservative estimates put the war at over a trillion dollars which is a tad bit higher than the worst case scenario of $100 to $200 billion that was floated by the Bush administration in pre-war talks. It is said that 30% of troops have developed mental problems within months of returning from the front, and 20% have suffered severe brain and spinal injuries. These costs to American soldiers and the US taxpayer will linger with us long after we close the door on this war.
