You’d be surprised.

The number of illegal immigrants detained by CBP has nothing to do with our paychecks: federal law set by Congress does. We’d be paid the same regardless of catching many, few, or no individuals at all.

Oh, thank God: I was afraid that Woody Allen wasn’t going to put his five-cents in on this. It’s okay, everyone! Woody Allen has spoken!

Steven Seagal is...The Gift That Keeps On Taking.

For a lot of those who make jokes at the expense of white supremacists, I don’t think it’s because they’re trivializing what they stand for and do. White supremacists build so much of themselves around these shrines to ego, and being taken seriously. The easiest way to hurt them is to mock them. They do what they do…

Well...this is the world we live in now. Out freaking standing.

There were a lot of points dropped that were not followed up on, hinting at Bigger Things...And I was okay with that. That was a point in the first one that I enjoyed: ultimately, the characters we’re following are not that high in the infrastructure.

Daily Show did a good takedown on that with our favorite evil ventriloquist dummy Sean Hannity. Insanahannity said that, if he was there, in the room, while the guy was changing mags, and you had a clear shot, doesn’t that justify lax gun laws?

There is a kind-of valid reason for it (it really does make an amazing difference for your own hearing when shooting, if you’re the kind of shooter who goes through hundreds of rounds a session), but it’s a case of “Does this valid reason outweigh the valid reason of public safety?”

I’ve never understood that argument: “you can’t legislate against evil.” There are so many fallacies to it.

And that’s saying something. He’s really not that liberal: he just exercises empathy and common sense.

And this is what happens when you treat healthcare like a fucking business.

Clearly, this is a woman on a mission.

It’s because it always is the same pattern; you aren’t crazy. The biggest racists seem to be the biggest gonks as well. It brings to mind this image:

...Wait, what?

The Eyes of Texas are upon you!

Can’t believe I missed this piece the first time around: a great essay on one of my favorite characters of all time.
