Ah, yes, like any good Dad, he’s laughing his ass off. Takes me back to my Dad laughing himself silly while pretending he was going to throw me in the alligator pit at the Cincinnati Zoo, circa 1978. Good times.

Right, that was my question - it fucks over the 20M who obtained insurance via the ACA......and THEN fucks over MORE people? That’s just a special level of evil.

Wow - “’Drive’, but for kids”. What a world.

Studio Exec: So whaddya got?

I read the headline and thought.......Kentucky? Wrong, but I was close. I think when I saw “opioids” my mind went straight to Kentucky because of “Justified”. As for sex with a cousin, we all knew it was going to be the South or South-adjacent. As a native Ohioan, I was just thinking “please not Ohio, please not…

Did Rollie Fingers really answer the bullpen phone EVERY TIME by saying “Hello, Charlie?”, thereby enraging Finley when it actually WAS him?

As a film nerd and OCD sufferer, I have seen all of the Best Picture nominees, so allow me to add to your excellent write-up: 1) Janelle Monae is the sassiest one in “Hidden Figures”, 2) I’m with you on “Arrival” - I kept wanting one of those aliens to flip out and rip Jeremy Renner in half, but no - the reveal is…

It’s hard to read the fine print on some of these - I assume the “Exercise Your Freedom” sign/sticker has something at the bottom that says “Unless you’re Transgender, in which case, fuck off, Homo”, yes?

“Contemplating”

He’s crazy - that’s all you need to say. Everything he does and says can be explained by this one, simple fact. The only other explanation would be that he’s unbelievably doped up, but you figure that the drugs needed to make him act the way he’s been acting for decades now would have easily killed him by now, right?

Crazy as a shit-house rat. I hope Moby was right and there are people working behind the scenes as we speak to impeach him. It speaks volumes that Mike Fucking Pence is the lesser of two evils here - and it’s not even close. If you’re out there, Team Impeachment - PLEASE HURRY!!!

I was supposed to laugh out loud at the coach’s statement there at the end, right? But shit, visiting a prostitute is basically like stealing a candy bar compared to the other shit that goes on at Baylor. They should have commended him for striving to have CONSENSUAL sex, albeit in an illegal manner. I mean, ‘baby…

Slightly relevant - I saw Amy Adams at the grocery store once - she is luminous in person. She has soooooo many freckles. I nearly swooned. Much better than when I saw Andrew Dice Clay at the same grocery.

Why is the lead singer of Creed accepting Bagwell’s award in that photo?

Got cut off there, but here we go - ages 13-17 would mean: 1) Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen, 2) Purple Rain - Prince, 3) Let It Be - Replacements, 4) Life’s Rich Pageant - R.E.M., 5) The Joshua Tree - U2, 6) Tim - The Replacements, 7) Sign o’ The Times - Prince, 8) Fables Of The Reconstruction - R.E.M., 9)…

Sweet - thanks for making me feel 1,000 years old on a Friday afternoon. Ages 13-17.........OK, let’s see.......

This lineup is basically “imagine the shittiest state fair you can think of, then think of the bands/acts they’d have on Friday/Saturday”. Sweet Jesus.

Ah, Florida - good to know some things will never change, in these topsy-turvy times.

How to describe him? A barnacle on the largely useless vessel that is ‘Entertainment News’?

The quote about transparency is fucking amazing. It's been a lot of years since I was a practicing English major, but I don't really think you can qualify the word "transparent" - either it is, or it ain't. A bit like the old line about it being impossible to be "sort of pregnant". Sweet Jesus Christ on a fucking…
