Saturday Night Live - Mick Jagger | CliqueClack TV - Chuck Duncan - The 37th season of Saturday Night Live has come to an end with one of it’s best shows ever! I wasn’t sure how Mick Jagger was going to do as the host, but he’s this year’s Betty White! He hit it out of the park every time, he tore up the stage during his musical numbers, and he got to lead the cast (and a few surprise guests) in a rousing, touching “Ruby Tuesday” as we all bid farewell to a favorite cast member. It was a bittersweet moment to cap off a great show and a great end to the season. We’ll have the clips up when we get them, and we have most of the “Lazy Sunday 2″ lyrics for your enjoyment (thanks, Keith, for transcribing the first half).

The Campaign Against Women - NYTimes.com - Republicans seem immune to criticism. In an angry speech last month, John Boehner, the House speaker, said claims that his party was damaging the welfare of women were “entirely created” by Democrats. Earlier, the Republican National Committee chairman, Reince Priebus, sneered that any suggestion of a G.O.P. “war on women” was as big a fiction as a “war on caterpillars.”
Here Comes Nobody - NYTimes.com - Maureen Dowd - I ALWAYS liked that the name of my religion was also an adjective meaning all-embracing. I was a Catholic and I wanted to be catholic, someone engaged in a wide variety of things. As James Joyce wrote in “Finnegans Wake:” “Catholic means ‘Here comes everybody.’ ” So it makes me sad to see the Catholic Church grow so uncatholic, intent on loyalty testing, mind control and heresy hunting. Rather than all-embracing, the church hierarchy has become all-constricting.
