I recently got the first few episodes of HBO’s Little Britain USA, which the network is hoping will become America’s new favorite comic oxymoron. (If you combine Britain and the USA, don’t you get Canada?)

I’ll write more about the show later. For now, I like it well enough, just as I liked the original …

The Project Runway show at New York’s Fashion Week is coming up tomorrow, and once again I got an invitation. I went last spring, but I’ve been conflicted about going in the past, because I’ve worried about finding out who’s eliminated in the future and having anything spoiled for me.

MSNBC is again running its rebroadcast of its live coverage of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, in real time.
