Thankgiving Day ‘Moonlight’ Marathon now airing on Chiller
Update: 5/7/10- CW will be re-airing Moonlight also!
The CW has acquired the rights to canceled CBS vampire drama “Moonlight.” Repeats of the cult favorite drama will air this summer on the network, paired with encore episodes of CW’s freshman hit “The Vampire Diaries.” “Moonlight” returns to broadcast TV on June 3.
Chiller has begun airing ‘Moonlight’ from the beginning, and has an all day marathon on today…
Red-blooded and romantic cult favorite about vampire-detective Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin) and Web-tabloid reporter Beth Turner (Sophia Myles) solving strange murders in Los Angeles, where a community of the undead thrives just under the radar of the human population. Viewers late to the game take note: the series revamps the rulebook of traditional vampire mythology, with garlic, holy water and wooden stakes having no effect on their targets. Co-created by Ron Koslow, who developed the heart-fluttering Linda Hamilton-Ron Perlman television series Beauty and the Beast. With Jason Dohring and Shannyn Sossamon.

Dubai Debt Delay sends markets spinning, US Dollar hits 14 year low against yen…
Dubai World's real-estate subsidiary, Nakheel, built the emirate's iconic palm-tree-shaped island, packed with luxury villas and hotels. Bloomberg
Dubai is delaying its billions in debt repayments, markets are tanking, ours are closed for the Holiday. Tomorrow should be interesting…
Dubai World, with $59 billion of liabilities, is seeking to delay debt payments, sending contracts to protect the emirate against default surging by the most since they began trading in January.The state-controlled company will ask creditors for a “standstill” agreement as it negotiates to extend maturities, including $3.52 billion of Islamic bonds due Dec. 14 from its property unit Nakheel PJSC, Dubai’s Department of Finance said in an e-mailed statement. Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s cut the ratings on several state companies, saying they may consider the plan a default.
“Extending the maturity of Nakheel debt is feeding the market’s uncertainty on which debt Dubai will honor in full,” said Rachel Ziemba, a senior analyst covering sovereign wealth funds at New York-based Roubini Global Economics. “They look desperate and the market is concerned that in the long term Dubai’s indebtedness is rising not falling.”
Dubai accumulated $80 billion of debt by expanding in banking, real estate and transportation before credit markets seized up last year. Contracts protecting against default rose 116 basis points to 434 basis points yesterday, the most since they began trading in January, ranking it the sixth highest-risk government borrower, according to credit-default swap prices from CMA Datavision in London. The contracts, which increase as perceptions of credit quality deteriorate, are higher than Iceland’s after climbing 131 basis points in November, the biggest monthly increase since January….
‘Ben 10: Alien Swarm’ tonight on Cartoon Network 7:00pm
Variety reviews:
…Alex Winter reprises his role as director-producer, working from a script by James Krieg (an alum of the “Ben 10″ series) and John Turman, whose credits include “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” The influence of the latter is apparent, inasmuch as the movie’s central trio approximates a superhero team — maybe the Threat-Thwarting Three or something.
For the uninitiated, Ben Tennyson (Ryan Kelley) — a kid in the original animated version, a teenager here — is the keeper of something called the Omnitrix, a way-cool watchlike alien device that allows him to transform into a variety of bad-ass extraterrestrial creatures. Working as part of a group named the Plumbers to repel alien threats, he’s flanked by his pals Gwen (Galadriel Stineman) and Kevin (Nathan Keyes), each of whom brings his or her own unique powers to the monster mash.
Happy Holidays!!! “Planes, Trains & Automobiles”

Reality Bites: Here come the Social Security payroll tax hikes and benefit cuts- gird yourself Gen X
As usual, Gen X is about to get royally screwed. We are the tiniest generation so the pols feel free to frak us over at any given opportunity.The Boomers suck up all the benefits and live high on the economic hog (sorry guys but it’s true) and drive up the debt and Gen Y, (the spoiled ones that Obama considers his ‘base’, you know the ones WE have to carry on our insurance until they are..27!!!) are going to cut our Medicare and Social Security and send us off on an ice floe….
Boomers- 1946-1964 (inclusive), 75.8 million
Generation X = 50 Million /ages 38 – 45
Generation Y = 78 Million /21 – 40
After spending trillions they are getting ready to talk tough on the deficit, HA! and WE the lucky lucky Gen X can expect to see higher payroll taxes, higher retirement age (neat trick since the healthcare plan wont give us a damn knee replacement to work these extra years after the cuts!) AND lower Social Security benefits. Right on schedule as predicted…
The White House is considering a bipartisan commission to tackle the nation’s swelling deficit, as it seeks to show resolve on a problem that threatens its broader agenda.Top White House officials, including budget director Peter Orszag, met Tuesday with Senate Budget Committee Chairman Sen. Kent Conrad to discuss establishing such a commission, which has been pushed by Mr. Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, and his Republican counterpart on the committee, Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire.
Senior congressional officials said the idea was gaining traction. Two officials said the White House was likely to make its own proposal for a panel, which could have less power than the proposed Conrad-Gregg commission. White House aides said no final decision had been made.
The idea is to bring Republicans and Democrats together to make tough decisions about how to cut costs or raise revenue in areas including Social Security, Medicare and taxes. For the White House, establishing a commission would show that the Obama administration is serious about tackling the deficit while postponing any real moves until after the 2010 elections….
