Forget Sharron Angle's hysterical claims that undocumented workers (aka illegal aliens) are taking Americans' jobs.
Hollywood actors are the culprits. Steven Seagal's working as a cop and Tony Danza's pretending to be a high-school teacher, on cable TV "reality" shows.
Give back our jobs, actors!

Lack of imagination
Waste of breath: A recent Discovery channel documentary repeatedly called dinosaurs "monsters." This word is so overused it is now meaningless.
Ditto: "miracle."
Rick Sanchez' CNN departure: LOL! Looks like getting tazed voluntarily was the high point of his career.
Sick and tired: Of TV dramas that begin with a brilliant "hook," then turn the clock back, i.e. "36 hours earlier." New show "The Event" and so bad it's good "The Good Guys" have an excuse, but nobody else. Hey, producers! Pay your writers more, stand back and let them tell stories. Drug the network suits into a coma.
Sick and tired, two: Shows where some kind of rite includes somebody slicing his or her palm with a knife to prove loyalty, commitment or whatever. The Klingons drove this action into the ground. Now, "Caprica" is doing it. Hey, producers! Let your writers use their imagination. Cinematic shortcuts are just lazy.
I know it's fiction, but none of these characters ever need bandages afterward, and none of them have to do anything one-handed, while healing.

Listen up, dimwits
Note to TV drama producers: The trick of ending an episode with a song sung over scenes of your characters living their lives is worn out. After seeing it three times in two days this week, and multiple times last season, I'm sick of it. Write the whole episode. You're not like "Moonlighting," which burned through dialogue like rocket fuel.
Note to Christine O'Donnell: You think the claim that monkeys aren't evolving is evidence against the Theory of Evolution? Prove that monkeys aren't evolving, dimwit. They very well might be doing just that, at a biological snail's pace.
BTW: A "theory" is an explanation for a congregation of facts. Science doesn't aim for truth. Just the facts, ma'm.
