* Boycott General Motors? It makes perfect sense if the only thing you care about is embarrassing President Obama.
* Krauthammer: "What Fox did is not just create a venue for alternative opinion. It created an alternate reality." At least he admits it...
* Republicans have asked for 610 days to prepare for the Sotomayor Supreme Court hearing. What could be more reasonable than that?
* Futurama renewed. Saved by the Bell reunion draws one step closer. Shia LaBeouf will not ruin Y: The Last Man.
* Meme of the day: 30 Rock vs. The Muppet Show.

Sunday night.
* Patton Oswalt says if you didn't like The Watchmen you should just shut up. Fair enough, but you know, that's not really the title... (via Bill, who promises via Twitter both a blog post and a Poli-Sci-Fi Radio podcast on this soon)
* We all want to flee to the Cleve: a new Bruce Springsteen exhibit opens at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 1. (Thanks, Brent!)
* Science fiction set in 2009. The Postman and Dark Angel are legit picks—but when your list needs three movies from the last two years, Family Matters, and an episode of Charmed to work, it's time to rethink.
* Is the global economy a Ponzi scheme, are we all Bernie Madoffs, and what comes next?

The verdict is in: another Republican political career has been destroyed by contact with the mind of Tina Fey. This time it's Bobby Jindal, who I don't think will ever recover from this Kenneth the Page thing. (Not that he did so well on the merits, either, as Steve Benen handily demonstrates in a series of posts. "Volcano monitoring"? What, pray tell, is a "volcano"? Even Fox News lays the smack down.)
Meanwhile, in other political news, Ezra Klein looks back on the eventful first month of the Obama administration. That pseduo-State of the Union sounded pretty ambitious; let's go change the world.
