Hello, again! This is Dean Collins from The War at Home, writing my second blog for TVGuide.com. This week's episode of The War at Home is entitled, "Take This Job and Bleep It."

Fabricated example: "Mel Gibson. Braveheart. You know the drill. Yada-yada-yada. Lindsay. But that's old news if you-know-who is to be believed." Um, wha?! • I'm thinking/fearing we're gonna be stuck with this Sienna Miller for a bit, yes?• How awesome is that new "Cancel or Allow" TV spot in Apple's "PC Guy" campaign?!February 2, 2007• This whole Tyra Banks/"I'm not fat!" thing has to be one of the biggest non-stories to get such massive media play. Personally (and "until now," one of you will snark), I have steered clear of breathing a word about it, because...
