Q: What's the only thing more annoying than desperately ironic liberals? A: Desperately ironic liberals who read Civilization and Its Discontents and now think they've got it ALL FIGURED OUT, BA-BY. Seriously, Edroso, if only we could all be as happy as I'm sure you are! :) :)

If Philip Marlowe had surfed, he would have felt right at home in Don Winslow’s THE DAWN PATROL. Its modern-day dick is Boone, who catches some waves when he’s not taking cases to pay his bills.

Like everyone else, he lives without piety; but he has to go on living, and what makes it possible...

In other words, a down-on-his-luck private detective who’d take almost any kind of case, and was often beaten up by thugs. As evidenced by the series’ pilot, “Ed Adamson was very much into all of that,” says pilot director Robert Day. “He really was into the Maltese...
