Gun Show LoopholesLooks like they still exist. This is a major terrorism issue, yet most republicans still deny they exist. Kudos to Mayor Bloomberg for going against the party line.

Edward M. KennedyHe accomplished so much, perhaps in part because he never became the US president. I met him briefly during my high school graduation (he struck me as an unusually kind man), and I know that he was the rock of his family. RIP Sen. Kennedy.

Mara Liasson is an IdiotOn Fox News, NPR's Mara Liasson compares the "failure" of the Cash for Clunkers program to the government's failure during Katrina. See it here. Is it something in the water over at Fox News? I hadn't previously noticed what a dipshit Liasson is... (via: Atrios)

Good News/Bad NewsDoug Allen is out at SAG, which bodes well for a resolution to the stalled contract settlement and a better employment landscape for the industry. Good news. Variety is dropping the axe today on a major layoff at the paper. Bad news. Update: Nikki Finke has posted a list of Variety layoffs. If Anne Thompson is really on the list then the folks over there really do not understand what their digital future will require. There are a lot of other fine folks on the list, but Thompson is a name they should be building their brand on. Update (4:30p): Anne confirms it on her blog.

More Reality, Less DramaNBC has announced that Jay Leno will take the 10p slot M-F, relieving actors of a weekly 5 hours of primetime work opportunities. One of my favorite Entertainment Industry writers, David Poland, seems to be one of the few who noticed the significance. Meanwhile, the Screen Actors Guild continues to fight their doomed battle. A little dip in a pool of Sun Tsu might help the SAG leaders - they are fighting the right battle at the wrong time, and it is hurting a lot of innocent people.
