...with regular TV, the trick is finding something you actually want to watch. With 55 unique shows, Pseudo boasts the biggest lineup, including pro wrestling, tech programs and hard-to-find music. But browsing the programs was as underwhelming as sampling those vast breakfast buffets in Vegas hotels. The techno, reggae and hip-hop music programs were fun to listen to, but the video seemed redundant: eyeballing a deejay is dull stuff. A space show, Cosmic Visions, had a good documentary about the Cassini mission to the outer planets, but it hardly seemed original. And the chat rooms...
There was little desolate about DEN. The first show I clicked on, Redemption High, was a well-produced drama about Christian teens trying to make sense of religion. Next I clicked on DEN's Aggronation, where I got to watch snowboarding and surfing--surprisingly good in itty-bitty video.

Only he could have invited anti-affirmative action hero Ward Connerly on his TV show to tell him why we need affirmative action more than ever. When Chris Rock makes a joke, we should all listen. No one today can tell...
...meeting recently, campaign chairman Tony Coelho lashed out at his senior staff, and there are once again hints that firings are in the offing. Gore's team redoubled its efforts, cramming September with back-to-back fund raisers, but it has not dispelled rumors that third-quarter reports could show the campaign with less cash in the bank than Bradley...
