What a difference an election makes; or more to the point: what a difference a left-leaning Democratic President makes. President Barack Obama means the GOP has (temporarily, I'm sure) retired the old "Up or Down Vote" mantra in order to resurrect the old "Activist Judges" mantra. In short: when a Republican President selects a Supreme Court nominee, s/he should be approved with little-to-no fanfare or objection; but when a Democratic President does the same, their choice must be filtered less the Supreme Court becomes considerably unbalanced.

Of course this blantant 180 isn't surprising, whether you're talking about conservative Republicans or the so-called-Liberal Media. For the GOP, it's a way to prove that they're still relevant. For the media, it's a story they can latch onto and drain the life out of until the next mundane, typical political event arrives to be blown out of proportion.

Nevertheless, it's amusing to see the pundits "give advice" on who Obama should pick as if he won the 2008 election by only three votes.

I really, really need some Democrat to suggest the use of the "nuclear option", just to see what kind of bloviated nonsense the GOP can come up with to explain how that would be a betrayal of all things American (i.e., Republicans - in their own minds, at least)

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
