Yeah, but Raving Fuckwit with a Texas accent...ooh, sorry, redundant.

1. You don’t know that.
2. At the very least, he used the platform of a late night talk show watched by millions of people to try to create pressure on elected officials to help people in this situation.

My bad. Reading comprehension eludes me sometimes.

Look, I know this is a minor point in an otherwise spot-on piece, but I think it’s unfair to call Kenny G the best-selling jazz artist, simply because nobody who likes jazz and listens to jazz buys Kenny G albums, it’s just that he got mis-categorized as jazz instead of Easy Listening or Music For Olds or whatever,…

Irrelevant what he personally makes, because when he talked about his son, he was crystal clear that he wasn’t talking about his own situation, rather the “there but for the grace of god go I” of those who could not afford the kind of treatment his son needed, and none of whom likely have a network talk show on which…

I genuinely wonder if anyone honestly and truly believed that the tax cuts would pay for themselves, or if it is (and maybe always has been?) a fig leaf that takes advantage of short memories and the aforementioned lack of understanding of economics to convince those who will not benefit at all (or who will see the…

She sounds like she’s doing an imitation of David Sedaris imitating Billie Holiday singing “Away in a Manger” in the Santaland Diaries.

20 year old public radio references ftw!

When I was growing up, we weren’t exactly poor, but we were poor-adjacent. Old Fashioned Loaf was basically what you got on your sandwiches at school half the time because either it or bologna was on sale for $.99/lb at the Kroger’s at all times. If you can stand bologna, old fashioned loaf is...fine.

I usually say Goldwater, but YMMV

I think of the relationship between Goodell and NFL owners the same way as I think about the NRA (as personified by Wayne LaPierre) and gun manufacturers...he’s just there to say/do outrageously stupid shit so that the heat never falls on them.

Because I have no life, I a) knew that and b) paused the DVR to confirm that they were actually using real scores from Saturday on the crawl (they were)

The only tiny little scrap of comfort I give myself is that yeah, actually, we would be dealing with stupid shit every day, only it would be “Hillary did Benghazi” bullshit and “OMG private e-mail server” bullshit and then on one of these disaster relief trips she wouldn’t wear makeup and it’d be “OMFG Hillary is…

Y’know, I’d be happy to give Trump ultimate power over the NFL if it meant he’d quit his current job.

Then we’d all go watch the Bundesliga on Sundays and he’d die an irrelevant frustrated shell.

He’d need a U-Haul to get to 2nd base? That’s where this is heading.

Yeah but c’mon, the scene where Goldblum shows Samuel L Jackson the compromising pictures and he says he might send them out as Christmas cards was pretty good...

I don’t know if it was one of Modra’s shots or not, but I still remember there was a photo of Johnson from some point in the race where the caption referred to evidence of cheating by saying “note the implausible deltoid...” which for some reason has stuck in my head for nearly 30 years.

Charlie Murphy, white courtesy phone, Charlie Murphy, white courtesy phone...

99.999% spot on as usual, Burneko, but I have the tiniest of quibbles...his speech inveighing against the process has been characterized as a rebuke to his party, but he actually (as most do these days) claimed the problem resided on both sides of the proverbial aisle. So even his rebuke was a mealy-mouthed…
