Man, you never saw those? I thought they were about as common as Bill Gates sending people money for forwarding emails.

"Trust me" is the most frequent lie ever told. (Implicity: "You can trust me").

Man, Brandon Finnegan is giving away some shitty tickets on Twitter.

Dude! Don't talk on the phone in a library!! The reason why no one has shushed you is because they are too polite and/or don't want to be confrontational, but they're all gritting their teeth, wishing someone had taught you basic manners. If you want to talk on the phone, go to a coffee shop, but please try to…

Classic. Especially the part with the hassidic gentleman. I laughed too hard.

I know it's important to have a strong woman presence in.. well, pretty much all facets of life, including that of late night talk shows. But on the other hand, I feel like late night talk shows are where comedians go to die. Jay Leno was once known as one of the best stand-up acts, for crying out loud. And is there…

I love when Letterman seems like he's actually enjoying an interview.

In Roger Ebert's review for Shoot Em' Up, he wrote: "I may disapprove of a movie for going too far, and yet have a sneaky regard for a movie that goes much, much farther than merely too far."

It's not that I don't want to hug — I do, very much, I just can't control my Claire Danes cryface.

The Tea Partiers I know are awesome at the talk but completely suck at the walk. They don't save for retirement, but bitch about Social Security. They get pissy every time they have to pay for anything medical that their employer-underwritten insurance doesn't cover. They whine about every penny they pay in taxes,…

I have some republican friends who brought this up recently - they want her to name names because they think she's not identifying them because they are democrats (which I have to agree is certainly not impossible). The funny part is that they believe that by identifying a possible sexist democrat that that means…

I work in a red state, for a public-private organization. We have outposts across the state, and our funding of those outposts is paid for 100% by state government funding.

I live in Madison and he damn sure hasn't been around here that I've been aware of. I'm beginning to think he's a practical joke being played on us by some asshole in Minnesota.

There are a lot of comments in this post that treat any episode that mentions abortion like it has to be "a very special episode." Treating abortion like it always has to be some Big Deal with no jokes and it can't just be integrated naturally into the background of a show really bugs me. We can't even act like…

I'm sure it's not just her but tv execs being total cowards. I wish it weren't such a taboo subject outside of political discussions. We need more "Obvious Child", more abortion jokes, more abortion story lines in tv shows that don't involve women agonising over the decision or feeling guilty about it or regretting …

As a crotchety old (well, getting there) guy and a veteran of the microcomputer revolution (microcomputer was what we called a single-user computer before there were "personal" computers) I really can't buy into your list. In fact, the only things on the list I can really agree with are the SSD and the cheap cables.…

How about really good coffee? It's something most people drink everyday and it's so ubiquitous that you find a wide range of quality. But once you've had really good coffee everything else feels like it's missing something.

Whitson, you forgot the one you can never downgrade without getting absolutely pissed off about: speedy internetz! xD

It wasn't that long ago that men's trousers had a butter pocket along the front of the right thigh, in which an entire stick could be stored, and against which a gentleman would merely scrape his butter fob (conveniently stored in what we mistakenly call a 'coin pocket' today) whenever butter was needed. 'Some butter,…
