A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

YOU'RE THE GOOD GUYS NOW: If there's one thing we love around here, it's well-done heist films. If there are two things we love around here, they're well-done heist films and obscure details of the U.S. legislative process. I enjoyed the pilot of Leverage well enough, but tonight's second episode, which featured a heist rotating around the theft of an appropriations bill from "the hopper," and (relatively correct!) discussions of how appropriations riders can be used to make significant legal changes, cemented that it's getting a season pass from me. And, man, those are some impressive production values for a cable show.
