Enough with the exit polls. With all the silly political commentary the American public has been subject to this week, recess decided to ask the tough questions and get to the heart of the real issues: our favorite TV show and celebrity gossip. NBC's newest hit, Heroes, featuring an assortment of gifted mutants connected to one another in mysterious ways, has brought the network back from the broadcast junkyard. The recent fall of the institution of marriage in Hollywood is intriguing to both stalkers and sociologists.
Our own Baishi Wu braved the rain and storms to find the truth: If you had a super power like the characters on the fall hit, what would it be? And what do you think about the Britney/K-Fed and Reese/Ryan breakups?
