Charmed season 1

Many corporate media pundits seemed to grade the Biden/Palin debate on a rather extreme curve; if Palin could manage to show up and not embarrass herself, the event could be deemed a 'tie'--as in the AP analysis headlined 'Palin Tops Debate Expectations.'
In USA Today, Susan Page wrote, 'Both candidates exuded confidence and determination--a victory of sorts for Palin, the first-term Alaska governor performing on equal terms with the six-term Delaware senator.'
On ABC World News (10/3/08), Time magazine's Mark Halperin described as 'brilliant' Palin's argument that for Biden to criticize the Bush administration was 'pointing backwards,' going on to say: 'Look, is she a great policy expert, no. Is she a great communicator, like a Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton, we're learning that she is.'
And on Meet the Press, NBC's David Gregory weighed in on Palin's debate performance:

She chose to ignore a lot of the substantive aspects of the debate and speak right to the American people. Thats where shes winning. She has a lot of charm, a lot of charisma, and thats working for her.

Someone should let the American public in on the idea that Palin is unusually charming, since they don't don't seem realize that.

Again the company shift gears completely in Pennies From Heaven. Designed by Antony McDonald, this high-style confection is Ashley Page's sweet-spirited yet ironic homage to the romance, glamour and determined optimism of the 1930s as preserved in films and popular song. Taking their cues from the lyrics of 17 vintage recordings, nine archetypal couples glide through the technical demands of his writing with swift polish and good-humoured charm.
The dancing is structured as a series of vignette-like duets set in a combination hotel lobby, bar and cinema foyer. McDonald's character-inflected Art Deco costumes - from Fred and Ginger elegance to crooning cowboys' garb - are a treat
