Given Harrogate's love of Stiller's directorial virtuosity, and further celebrating Roof's triumphant return yesterday, here is a clip from the third episode of the first season of Extras.

Announcer: "Man, they look like they're having a great time"
Of course they are. The dude's getting a handy, for crying out loud.
I don't even watch football like this at home.

Because American Elections are Disgusting, and Get People Killed to Boot; or, a Homage to Pat Buchanan
Everyone's favorite isolationist, nativist, and old-school American exceptionalist. A man especially loved, it turned out, despite decades of criticisms of the United States' alliance with Israel, by really, really old Jewish people living Palm Beach County, Florida.
Worst of all, he works for NBC.
That's right, ladies and gents, Harrogate gives you none other than Patrick J. Buchanan. Harrogate reads his column religiously. This, despite the fact that, to paraphrase Ben Stiller in Dodgeball:
Buchanan loves the red-meat white supremacists, the red-meat white supremacists love the GOP, so ipso facto, Buchanan loves the GOP.
Query: Does Buchanan read the Dictionary to "break a mental sweat"?
But we digress. A blind groundhog will find an acorn every now and then, and Buchanan opposes American military adventurism; on these grounds at least, the man merits commendation. Seeing as how American elections kill people and all.
The current article by Buchanan asks a simple question:
"Who's Planning Our Next War?"
This is a fascinating read, not just for those who, like Harrogate, loathe American politics more and more with each passing day, but also for those who simply think that the question of going to war, the question of mass slaughter, is something of a big deal. Near the beginning of his column Buchanan states:
Hmmmmm. At the end of the column Buchanan asks an important question. But all things considered, it is also a pretty laughable question.

Near the beginning of his column Buchanan states:
William Kristol of The Weekly Standard said Sunday a U.S. attack on Iran after the election is more likely should Barack Obama win. Presumably, Bush would trust John McCain to keep Iran nuclear free.
Yet, to start a third war in the Middle East against a nation three times as large as Iraq, and leave it to a new president to fight, would be a daylight hijacking of the congressional war power and a criminally irresponsible act. For Congress alone has the power to authorize war.
Hmmmmm. At the end of the column Buchanan asks an important question. But all things considered, it is also a pretty laughable question.
Is it not time the American people were consulted on the next war that is being planned for us?
