The Top 3 Stereotypes of the Week: Dear Landlord

Movieline’s intrepid Stereotypes Dept. has returned after an extended Thanksgiving vacation to pinpoint some of the more clichéd character generalizations made on television this week to both great and grisly effect. One was a penny-pinching landlord, one a high school delinquent and the third, a melodramatic soap star. Can you guess to which shows they belonged?

Ron Paul stands up for Julian Assange

Politico By ANDY BARR | 12/3/10 12:56 PM EST Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) is taking a stand as one of Julian Assange’s few defenders in Washington, arguing that the WikiLeaks founder should get the same protections as the media. Attorney General Eric Holder said this week that the Justice Department is examining whether Assange can be charged with a crime for posting hundreds of thousands of leaked government intelligence documents and diplomatic cables. Many Republicans have gone even further in their attacks on Assange, especially former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee, who said this week that the source who leaked to the WikiLeaks founder should be tried for treason and executed if found guilty. But in a Thursday interview with Fox Business, Paul said the idea of prosecuting Assange crosses the line. “In a free society we're supposed to know the truth,” Paul said. “In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.” “This whole notion that Assange, who's an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason. I mean, aren't they jumping to a wild conclusion?” he added. “This is media, isn't it? I mean, why don't we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?” Paul followed up with a post to his Twitter account Friday morning: “Re: WikiLeaks — In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/45930.html#ixzz1761bnWUY http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/45930.html#ixzz174dZBGvq added by: ThatCrazyLibertarian

Bones Preview: Will Brennan’s Awakening Be Too Little, Too Late?

There is plenty to look forward to next Thursday on Fox’s Bones . For one, the Brennan-centric hour features a bravura, waterworks-inducing performance by Emily Deschanel, whose socially detached alter ego finds her world rocked by a case involving a woman whose physical, professional and psychological makeup matches her own – and whose tragic disappearance sadly went unnoticed.

10 TV Characters You Should Name Your Edgy Kids After

This week in sickening news : People name their kids after Glee characters and Betty Draper.
