I was watching Cujo on AMC, and ads for the SPCA kept interrupting the movie, with Sarah McLachlan imploring viewers, “Will you be an angel for a helpless animal?”

“Do you want a moat with alligators?”
That was a question MSNBC’s Martin Bashir put to Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio during a discussion about the Mexican border.

I flipped back to AMC, but the movie about a rabid dog was no longer playing.

OK, so I’m a little late to the party, but I am getting hooked on the History channel’s reality show, Pawn Stars.

Just one question: Why aren’t there more female customers at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop?
