This week I started watching The Larry Sanders Show, much to my satisfaction. An important predecessor to more recent hits like Curb Your Enthusiasm (also HBO) and Arrested Development (also starring Jeffrey Tambor), Sanders chronicles the life of a late-night talk show host, played by Gary Shandling, and his trials and tribulations trying to balance a show buisness career, a marriage, and his own sanity. The large cast of characters include a few real gems: in addition to Tambor, the show includes Rip Torn, Janeane Garafolo, and Jeremy Piven.
Give it a shot.
(Oh, and one last thing: The Larry Sanders Show occupies this unique space in time where television shows had become racy, and thus interesting, yet still had to star inherently likable characters. How refreshing.)

From "Julie Klausner on Pauline Kael, Miss Piggy and the Sexual Revolution"

I’m at the point, frankly, where I’d rather deal with a misogynist with a copy of Tucker Max’s book in his backpack over someone in sensitive emo-boy clothing, because both are misogynists, only the one with the backpack is more honest about just how scared of women he is. The modern model of misogyny has to do with marginalizing people who are sexual and thinking of them as dumb, or not serious, or not cool or tweedy enough to take seriously, for fear of seeming like one of the guys from “Jersey Shore.” The sex is so much more present in sexism than, I think, ever before.

Ahh, my love of assholes affirmed by a feminist (like myself). I never thought this day would come.

Indeed, a White Supremacist Dick
Someone who claims that their "dick is sort of like a white supremacist" deserves this other, less-written about, portion of their Playboy interview re-blogged as well.
PLAYBOY: Masturbation for you is as good as sex?
MAYER: Absolutely, because during sex, I’m just going to run a filmstrip. I’m still masturbating. That’s what you do when you’re 30, 31, 32. This is my problem now: Rather than meet somebody new, I would rather go home and replay the amazing experiences I’ve already had.
PLAYBOY: You’d rather jerk off to an ex-girlfriend than meet someone new?
MAYER: Yeah. What that explains is that I’m more comfortable in my imagination than I am in actual human discovery. The best days of my life are when I’ve dreamed about a sexual encounter with someone I’ve already been with. When that happens, I cannot lay off myself.

My boss put on an Alexander McQueen dress this morning, not knowing that he had passed. RIP.
