Wow — Al and Tipper Gore are separating after 40 years of marriage.
For some reason this makes me really sad.

Family Newspaper
I love that a New York Times article that includes this:
There’s the first time he tried crack. (“The taste is like medicine, or cleaning fluid, but also a little sweet, like limes.â€) The tryst with a taxi driver behind a 7-Eleven in Newark. (“What I want is the blurry oblivion of body-crashing sex.â€) Or the time that his boyfriend, a downtown filmmaker who goes by the pseudonym Noah in the book, watches as Mr. Clegg smokes crack and has sex in a hotel room with a $400-an-hour Brazilian prostitute named Carlos. (“Shame, pleasure, care, and approval collide and the worst of the worst no longer seems so bad.â€)
can also include this:
…Nick Flynn, author of a memoir whose graphic title cannot be published here.
Because, you know, it’s a family newspaper.
(The title? Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.)
Quotes About Lost
Running list of great quotes about Lost as a whole (perhaps to be updated as I find more).
[N]o matter what I think of certain ideas or elements of not just this season but every season, I think “Lost” will stand as one of the biggest, boldest, strangest shows for a network to ever nurture and complete. The show existed on its own crazy terms for six years, and they’ve been six of the best years of TV I’ve ever enjoyed.
Ultimately, “Lost” didn’t succeed because of the mythology. We’ve seen too many examples of mythology-heavy, character-light series fail over the last six years to think that. “Lost” succeeded on emotion…. When “Lost” was really and truly great, it locked you so deep into the emotions of the moment that the larger questions didn’t really matter.
