Working the other side of the deception business is Trust Me (TNT, Mondays, 10 p.m. E.T., debuting Jan. 26), set in the world of men and advertising. It has the misfortune of sharing this subject with the masterpiece Mad Men, though its period (the present) and tone (comedy-drama) are far different. Mason (Eric McCormack) and Conner (Tom Cavanagh) are partners at a Chicago agency, getting by on caffeine and zingers. It's innocuous fun--Cavanagh (Ed) exhales charm as effortlessly as most mammals do carbon dioxide--but predictable, down to the pilot's last-minute-inspiration-in-the-pitch...
Officials in Washington expect record crowds for Jan. 20 - record lines at the Porta-Potty too - and closing time at several hundred local bars and watering holes has been extended practically into the breakfast hour for celebrators' convenience.

And if so, will those lessons stay learned? (See pictures of Obama's college years...
...Starting Jan. 20, the most powerful person in the world actually will be a black man. Although President Barack Obama is one of the greatest public speakers now practicing that art, he probably couldn't get hired as the anonymous voice-over spokesman for a brand of cereal because he doesn't sound black enough. Nevertheless, he is a beneficiary of this development. When God turned into an African American, it became less unthinkable that the President might be African American as well...
