South Park's new episode wednesday did not disappoint. While Randy was not in the ep as much as I thought he would be, it was great nonetheless. Stan and Kyle play "Guitar Hero", score 100,000 points, and ultimately get dissed by the game in a homophobic finale. Randy had not one, but two classic tighty whitey moments, which has become his trademark.

Phil Hendrie's new show continues to be very good. He has kept the loony "guests" but has dispensed with taking calls from real people. Fine by me, the real callers were boring anyway. He has pissed off many of his fans for doing this and also pissed them off for his pro-Iraq war, pro-Bush stances. They just can't stand that he has these views--of course they had no problem with him when he expressed his very liberal views on his old show, pre-9/11. Besides, he still has a lot of liberal views, but the war thing tends to dominate. Anyway, you go Phil, you're awesome.

Clinton stiffs waitress.

No, no, Hillary....not Bill.

Or did she?

Tale of the tip: Waitress at center of story says reporters are 'nuts'

We've stayed out of the blogosphere brouhaha over whether Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign did or did not leave a tip for a waitress in Toledo, Iowa. We weren't there.

 

National Public Radio has now explained at least twice where it went wrong in its reporting on that story. Check out NPR's reports if you're not familiar with the tale.

 

But the best line about it all may be one from the waitress herself. According to The New York Times, Anita Esterday told a reporter yesterday that:

 

"You people are really nuts. There's kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now -- there's better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn't get a tip."

The only thing about this story that has any relevance is that media outlets are using the word "waitress". I thought this word was outmoded, outdated, and otherwise sexist. I guess it's ok since she is from Iowa, and well, you know, those folks out there aren't as sophisticated as the rest of the country.
