For Seattle fans of HBO's brilliant crime series The Wire , a tutorial from writer Richard Price is like having Obama campaign manager David Axelrod come talk politics. A novelist ( Clockers ) and screenwriter ( The Color of Money ), Price didn't create The Wire , but...

It's already been a banner year for white-collar crime, and it's only going to get worse. U.S. Attorney for New York's Southern District, Preet Bharara, outlined the amazing opportunities crooks have today in a speech at NYU Law last week, but said his office is prepared with aggressive tactics more commonly associated with mafia investigations and HBO's The Wire . Bharara has had a busy first three...

To be honest with all of my readers, yes all two of you, I’ve led a relatively cushy existence with very little controversy whatsoever. I was born in small city Ontario to great parents who have supported me entirely despite all of my shortcomings, of which there are many (so...so many). Enough about my yawn-worthy place on this planet, the point is, my life has been pretty great so sometimes...

THE JENNIFERS / Colors From The Future CD / Beef Platter Records / 2007 From Baltimore, MD comes something a lot less tough than the HBO show The Wire, but no less complex. Nerds make the best pop music, in my book, and there are plenty of inspired nerd-isms here to go around. SOUNDS LIKE: ROBYN HITCHCOCK, GAME [...]

io9 has a list of upcoming scifi titles for 2010 . I am most excited for the Connie Willis time traveling book, although I wonder which road she will take. Her Doomsday Book , involving time travellers going back to the middle ages, is one of the biggest bummers of all time. Then there's To Say Nothing of the Dog , which is light hearted romp by comparison. The new one is called Blackout and it involves...

Filming of HBO's Game of Thrones concluded on Thursday with a big wrap party. Not that the hard work is over, with weeks of work still ahead involving editing, post-production and the addition of special effects and music, and that's before HBO executives see the final result and can begin pondering the decision on whether to give a full-season order to the producers. Courtesy of a Russian site which...

Entourage College Humor does the whole HBO slate of shows if their pre-show warning cards were truthful. Sadly, Sex and the City , where a PTMYWTD: "puns that make you want to die" warning would always be appreciated, is missing, but The Entourage and The Sopranos ones are especially on-target.

"This Is America, Man" Even if you haven't seen even one of the 60 episodes of the HBO TV series The Wire , this is still a downright entertaining compilation of the 100 Best Quotes from the five seasons of the Baltimore police, local government bureacracy and drug-dealing drama : It's interesting to see so many claim The Wire is the first TV Novel, meaning it is not just a series of episodes,...

My all time favorite TV series is "The Wire", which ran for 5 years on HBO. Throughout the series, the common thread was the affinity, by the police, the mayor, city politicians and even the drug lords, to "juke the stats". In other words, "tell them what they want to hear", and move on. In this vein, I've been all over the econoblogosphere today and I'm surprised that...
