In and Out (Dec 01 2006 22:58 GMT) - The key races in 2007 and 2008 are already beginning to shape up with some big names choosing to and choosing not to run. Let's take a quick look at the South. In Kentucky, Congressman Ben Chandler, one of the first down-ticket candidates behind whom the full power of the Netroots was thrown, has decided not to run for Governor against tainted Republican incumbent Ernie Fletcher. According to Mark Nickolas of the inimitable Bluegrass Report, other Democrats potentially looking at this race (which appears to be a great pick-up opportunity for the Democrats due to Fletcher's legal woes) include former Lt. Gov. |

Santa Monica: An Alternative to Santa Monica's Pricey Beach Hotels (Dec 01 2006 22:58 GMT) - Sure, we would all like to make like Pam Anderson and stay at Shutters on the Beach or even hit up the Viceroy for a few nights, but those places can get expensive.So consider the Ambrose Hotel on 20th and Arizona. It's not quite a beachfront alternative, being 20 blocks from the beach but it will help your wallet out. The exterior with its Tibet meets Arts and Crafts, and Koi pool, beckons one to a 21st century shangri-la, particularly if you have just narrowly escaped some bumbling service at the Best Western around the corner.This mini-boutique hotel has many of the perks of its high rent cousins for just $199 a night like extra comfortable |

Detroit: Detroit Westin Airport Hotel Soundproof? (Dec 01 2006 22:58 GMT) - We recently found ourselves at DTW checking out the Detroit Westin Airport Hotel. It looked like a damn fine park-n-fly solution. Situated in the new McNamara Terminal, this hotel appeared to have it all, a slick lobby, brand new rooms, and a sushi joint. However, here is what a musician type who stayed there said: As I was escorted to my room I was told, among other things, "we have over 400 soundproof rooms". |

The Hotel ZaZa in Houston is set to open this February in the old Warwick Hotel.Located in the city's museum district, the hotel will feature 12 floors with a total of 315 rooms, a spa, a "urban oasis" pool, plenty of business and meetings facilities, concept/themed suites, luxury suites and the restaurant, Monarch which will actually open two weeks before the hotel. Not too bad, considering the hotel was to open last spring. Check out this bit of embarrassing hotel hype: |

Maxis Adds Bugs To The Game? (Dec 01 2006 22:58 GMT) - Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect place, but I recently heard that Maxis leaves the bugs in their games on purpose, that's why there is always a new patch up after releasing a new expansion etc. I was just wondering if there is any truth to that and if so where "proof" is? If it's true, I... |

10 Items or Less: Film Review (Dec 01 2006 22:57 GMT) - 10 Items or Less is a hybrid of Nacho Libre and Spanglish directed by Moonlight Mile's Brad Silberling, and yes, it's as unbearably cloying and uplifting as that description sounds. by Nick Schager |
