The passing of Bob “Gilligan” Denver.

FOX’s new show, “Prison Break” continues to be a weird ride of a television show. And, actor Wentworth Miller is still a cutie. 😉 Oh, and his character is insane; one must really love one’s brother to be getting himself in such a stupid situation.

Interesting documentary on PBS’ “POV” – “The Hobart Shakespeareans” – wherein Los Angeles public school kids, of Hobart Elementary School, get into Shakespeare, which would inspire them in life and education. Feels like a great idea – if only every public school kid gets such a chance, or gets to have such an impressive teacher.

A beautiful Labor Day Monday in NYC.

John Grisham, lawyer-former Mississippi state legislator-novelist, is donating money to help his state.

Slate’s Jack Shafer did a nice job of making his list of complaints about the tv journalists’ coverage. I’d agree with a huge chunk of them (although, I have nothing to say about the FOX News coverage, since I don’t have FOX News and I otherwise avoid local FOX’s coverage as much as I can).

The sudden news of John Roberts’ appointment as Chief Justice. MSNBC posted the Associated Press article on this story. I’m withholding judgment on this; all I can say is that I’m surprised by the sudden development, or at least, surprised that the rumors of the president’s picking Roberts came true. One wonders what on earth is next.

Enjoy what’s left of this long weekend…
