Last night, HBO premiered their lastest new series: Hung. Sticking with the post-9/11 trend of flawed protagonists, Hung follows a metro-Detroit man who decides to whore himself out (literally) after the economic collapse. Based off the only episode to air, it is clear that the character is well developed, there are plenty of strong supporting characters including Anne Heche as the ex-wife, and Jane Adams as his pseudo-poet pimp. Oh, and best of all? It’s filmed in West Bloomfield.
Watch Hung Sundays at 10pm, or On Demand at any time.

What is happening in Iran may never turn into a full scale revolution, but it is certainly nice to see some things changing in the country. The people or Iran are excited and passionate about democracy, and while we may not like who they choose (neither candidate is Pro-American by any stretch), it is important that they CAN choose. I truthfully believe that the election of Barack Obama opened the world’s eyes to the power of democracy and elections. I am not saying that Obama is responsible for the protesting in Iran, or anything like that, just that his election is just another case in the course of history of America showing the world what is possible.

Sparky Anderson once said, “You don’t know nothin’ about a team until it’s played 40 games.” Well Sparky, it’s been 40. So what do we know?
The Tigers are currently 24-17 and sitting atop the AL Central Division by four games. They have far surpassed everyone’s expectations thus far. They have even shown that they are competent at pitching, situational hitting, and defense, which were three items that the Tigers could not figure out all of last year. Their surprising early season play has lead many to believe that it will be an exciting set of summer months at Comerica Park.

Does anyone else feel like everyone in Chicago is only paying attention to the Blackhawks now that they have FINALLY put together another decent post season run? This is one of the largest bandwagon jobs I’ve seen since the Michigan basketball program restored its respectability this past year. As if Chicago’s bandwagon ways weren’t annoying enough, here’s a commercial that the Blackhawks have previously run.
We’ll see if Ari Gold is still singing the same tune after this series.

Arthur Ray Jr. came Michigan State to play football. Due to a set of tragic circumstances, he has yet to suit up for the Spartans.
The following is an article written by Adam Rittenberg at ESPN.com:
Ray still fighting to play
EAST LANSING, Mich. — A large man appears at the entrance to the Skandalaris Football Center, braces himself with his crutches, swings open the door and hobbles inside.
The interview will be held on the second floor, and while the stairs are navigable, the football-shaped elevator is the safer option. When Arthur Ray Jr. reaches his destination, the lobby outside Michigan State’s football offices, he lowers himself onto a couch and places his crutches to the side.
