If you don't read Gregg Easterbrook's column "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" (at ESPN.com's Page 2), let it be known that I think you should. He is one brilliant, funny man. His bio reads: "Gregg Easterbrook is a senior editor of New Republic, a contributing editor of The Atlantic Monthly and a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. He is believed to be the first Brookings scholar ever to write a pro football column ."

In his column, along with fantastic football observations, he discusses government, physics, problems in the Star Trek timeline, and generally only publishes reader-mail when sent to him as haiku. I love this column.

Here's something I found amusing from his most recent column (discussing warnings on movie posters), which you can find here. But to show you everything I liked, I'd just quote the whole column. Basically, go read it. And read the back issues. And read it every Tuesday.

"Warning boxes for "About a Boy" and the current "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" cautioned of "thematic elements." As best as TMQ can determine, this means the movie is about a subject, rather than just being random sight gags, breasts and explosions. Apparently at this point Hollywood feels it must issue warnings when a movie has a subject. Some moviegoers, or more likely some studio executives, consider this notion disturbing..."

"Runteldat" warned of "pervasive language." They talk all the time in that movie? "The Bourne Identity" warned of "some language." Which language -- Croatian? Xhosa? Ads for "Blue Crush" warned of "teen partying." Oh, so it's a horror movie!"
