Cowboy Pete has not hung up his spurs
Just so everyone is clear as to who is posting the entry. This is Kathleen aka the Wife.
Peter has not giving up on Cowboy Pete. He knows how much y’all (I can use it since I lived in the South for about 1/2 my life) enjoy talking about TV.
He has been rather busy the past few weeks and probably the next couple working on finishing up several projects before years end. Some of which he has talked about and a few we still have to keep under wraps until the contracts/agreements are dry. Welcome to the life of a freelance.

COWBOY PETE’S GETTIN’ CAUGHT UP ROUND-UP: CHARMED, LOST, SMALLVILLE, WEST WING
Yeah, I know it’s been a while, and I haven’t caught up with the most recent “Smallville” (taped it, haven’t watched it yet). But let’s get going…

COWBOY PETE’S TV ROUNDUP–VERONICA MARS, LOST, SMALLVILLE, WEST WING
Welcome back, pardners. Interesting week, highlighted by my eating my words from last week regarding “Smallville.” But before we get rocking, I wish to say that I think it absolutely sucks that–according to darkhorizons.com–Fox has suddenly come to its non-senses and canceled “Tru Calling.” WTF?! For one brief, shining moment, they have the brains to keep an SF/fantasy series going for another season, allowing it to build. And suddenly they revert to the same brilliant form that blew away “Firefly,” left “John Doe” hanging, and send “Wonderfalls” over in a barrel. Not to be confused with the WB which is suddenly trying to find a way to get new episodes of “Angel.” Does anyone on TV pay attention to the fact that the so-called niche market of SF and fantasy, which they treat with such disrespect, is responsible for just about every movie in the all-time top ten moneymakers? Idiots. Well, Hëll, maybe an “Angel”-deprived WB will try to make up for it by picking up “Tru.” We’ll see. Anyway, onward…

Yeeeha, kids. From the depths of space to Kansas cornfields to seat of government power, it’s been an interesting week. Lessee what we’ve got. Spoilers follow:
COWBOY PETE’S TV ROUNDUP–LOST, SMALLVILLE, CHARMED, VERONICA MARS
Baseball has caused me to fall behind on TV viewing and I’ve only just now gotten caught up on watching taped programs. And yes, I’ll be doing a special CPTRU once “Peacekeeper Wars” is done. So, onward, with the usual spoiler cautions:

Arizona Debate
9:37 Home from bowling. Heard some of the debate on the radio. Nothing was being said that was substantially different from what I’ve heard before.
9:39 Kerry is looking right into camera. Is it that someone told him to do so, is the moderator just sitting in front of the camera?
9:40 My God, I’ve never seen Bush’s smirk more pronounced.
9:42 Any Canadians out there with opinions on whether government controlled health care results in poor quality?
9:46 Wait…is that what Bush said? The way that Kerry put it? Did Bush actually say that young people should be able to take money out of SS and put it into accounts? I thought he was just talking about putting money into savings.
9:48 I find that a bit hard to believe, that that tax cut alone would have kept SS going until 2075.
9:52 Okay, seriously. Did Bush have, y’know, a minor stroke on the left hand side of his face? I mean, the sneer is starting to distract me.
9:53 This is the first question to Bush that he hasn’t used to attack Kerry.
9:53: Whoops. Spoke too soon. Got in a shot under the wire.
9:57 That’s an interesting promise, that Kerry will bring the minimum wage up to over $7 an hour. Kerry’s also using the opportunity to target women.
9:58 AW, COME ON. Bush veered jobs over into education, and now he’s veering minimum wage into education? Jesus.
10:00 Holy crap. Two boldly dodged questions by Bush.
10:02 I mean, I hope American women were paying attention to that. Bush’s out and out dodging of the question was not only pathetic, but it really made clear that, hëll yeah, he would want to see Roe v. Wade overturned.
10:04 What the hëll is Bush blinking so much for?
10:07 No, Kerry did NOT talk about a global test in respect to getting permission from other countries to defend himself. Does Bush NEVEr get tired of exaggerating it? Thank God Kerry is meeting that one head on.
10:09 Oh, come on. Bush heard that there wasn’t support for the Assault weapons ban (which I doubt) and therefore decided not to bother to push for it? As if he hasn’t failed to put the full court press to those things that he really DOES believe in.
10:14 I’m not sure if Bush met with the Black Congressional Caucus or not, but he sure as heck didn’t meet with the other organizations Kerry mentioned.
10:17 Jeez, I wish Kerry would find another word to use other than “respect” when it comes to matters of religion.
10:18 Now KERRY swings a question over to education? Oooookay.
10:22 The point isn’t that the country was divided in 2000. The point is that the country was united in 2001 and now is split once again, even worse than before.
10:24 what a powder puff question for the last question in the debate.
10:26 Idear? IDEAR? Kerry can say “nuclear,” but he can’t say “idea?”
10:29 I like the notion that Bush is optimistic. Unfortunately, it doesn’t jibe with many of his speeches that hit again and again sentiments of fear and terror.
I thought Bush’s closing speech was better, but overall Kerry just flat out performed better. I think Bush really hurt himself when he dodged several questions in a row. And I’ll tell you, I was dubious about the whole Bush-listening device thing, but there were moments when it really did look like Bush was listening to someone else talking…Ah well. I dunno.
