...That's annoying because I've been [on E!] for over 2½ years. It's a smaller franchise because it's a smaller network. But with the way things are now, it's almost like cable is going to be taking over network [in terms of] ad dollars. It seems like cable's kind of the place to be. So I'm glad that I'm there now.

Getting oil out of oil sands is incredibly destructive to the environment; old-growth boreal forests must be stripped away, and enormous amounts of water are polluted in the process. There are other obvious parallels to the movie, of course: producing oil-sands petroleum is expensive, and our quest for it suggests we're getting desperate for fossil fuels, the same way our future selves in Avatar have been forced to leave a wasted planet Earth in search of pricey, and presumably necessary...

The latest online video ad released by the Perry campaign casts Hutchison as the "Earmark Queen" to the music of Abba's "Dancing Queen." Hutchison has said her work for Texas in bringing home funds for the state should be "celebrated and appreciated," but Perry has tapped the zeitgeist and run an astute campaign, according to James Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas...
