“Always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice and corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news; always be drastically independent; never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty.” - Joseph Pulitzer

Television
MASH is my all-time favorite show. I usually catch reruns late at night on the Hallmark Channel. I recently purchased a DVD of season one of The Rockford Files. That show kicked ass. I also love Red Dwarf and Coupling - both on BBC. Red Dwarf is kinda like Seinfeld meets Star Wars. Coupling is like Friends, but funny.

Some really good links: The Nation "The Nation will not be the organ of any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration, and misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is marred. - from The Nation's founding prospectus, 1865 Working For Change - News & Opinions from around the web (and good comix, too!)

Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
