  1. Great news for Greg Vaughan and Nia Long! They're both great actors.

    As for PBS cutting Tina Fey's speech, PBS is being disingenuous. PBS could have cut any part of Fey's award acceptance speech but only chose to cut her joke about Palin.

    This seems to be done out of fear. And, sadly, rightly so, given the backlash that NPR took over Juan Williams' firing when Republican officials threatened to cut funding for NPR and PBS.

    What does that say about censorship?
