SIGN ME UP FOR MOTHERBOY XXXI: It's apparently trendy this week to write about "Arrested Development," and why buck a trend, especially when it's in support of one of the few actually watchable sitcoms remaining on TV today? Jonathan Chait examines the political implications of the show, tacitly arguing that GOB is a stand-in for George W. Bush. Better still, TWoP's Wing Chun has a hysterical interview with GOB's portrayer, the very funny Will Arnett, which touches not merely on "AD"s brilliance, but on Arnett's marriage to Amy Poehler, Arnett's appearance as an evil pedophile on L&O:SVU, how he got fired from CBS sitcom "Still Standing," and his "TAR" love. The only strike is a positive mention of Horatio Sanz--it's good readin'.

Furthemore, it's frightening how many posters in last night's TWOP thread for "TAR" draw parallels between Susan and Patrick and Buster and Lucille. Draw your own conclusion.
