Most of these events struck me as game-changing, potentially deal-breaking lapses. They gave me a queasy feeling that all was not well with Big Love - the same foreboding I got when, at the beginning of this season, the show junked its much-loved "God Only Knows" ice pond opening-credits sequence for one that blended slo-mo falling, a la Mad Men, with what looked like a commercial for Preference by L'Oreal. (Do you fast-forward through that opening when TiVo-ing the show? I do.) But in the past two episodes, I've come to think...
...episode, "Fight or Flight," concentrates on Bill's immediate family before and after the convention that will determine if his State Senate bid is successful. Everyone - Bill's mother Lois, his brother Joey and all three sister-wives - got in a tizz over two events involving Bill's eldest son Ben. Word of the not-quite-inadvertent kiss has spread, a news story soon topped by the bulletin that Bill "exiled" his son.

"Liberty is contagious," said an underage drinker - you could tell by the giant X's drawn on their hands - between shots of Southern Comfort. "Any time there's less government, there's more freedom...
...kids: James O'Keefe (of ACORN pimp fame) and his three cohorts who recently tangled with the law by messing with Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu's phone lines, antitax champion Grover Norquist, conservative media personality Andrew Breitbart and 2004 World Poker champion Greg Raymer. The open bar at Medaterra got quite a workout, with young conservatives ordering everything from beer to shots of redheaded sluts, a crimson concoction involving Jägermeister. (After some debate, no one was game enough to try a flaming redheaded slut.) Breitbart and the rest of the Louisiana Four - as they were fondly referred...
