Penn & Teller

I can't say the name of my favorite television show--at least in polite company.

Penn & Teller's Bull#*@! skewers psychics, chiropractors, UFO enthusiasts, environmentalists, and others deserving our scrutiny. Penn (he speaks) & Teller (he doesn't) just launched their second season on Showtime, and I was lucky enough to see an episode from the new batch.

Tonight, the duo (You probably know them from Run DMC's "It's Tricky" video) went after the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Among other items, they revealed that PETA killed almost two-thirds of the animals it "saved," gave more than $70,000 to an arsonist who burned down a lab at Michigan State, and refuses to condemn violence.

While I proudly watch a show with a swear-word gracing its title, I draw the line on the programming that followed Penn & Teller on Showtime: "Family Business," which looks at the life of the adult movie tycoon named Seymour Butts. Get it! Well, I guess we should all wish to be so clever.
