“Reform” is always a red flag. Replace it with “gut” to get the actual meaning: Welfare reform, tax reform, healthcare reform, etc. Works the same way every time.

You think there’s gonna be free and fair elections in 2018? Think about all the full-on Bond Villain behavior that’s been on display lately. Do they look like people who fear repercussions at the ballot box?

You might have noticed that they’re very clearly acting like they’re not afraid of elections anymore, and have gone full-on Bond Villain across the board. Sorta makes you wonder what’s gonna happen between now and then.

iZombie definitely takes the Random Singer Cameo trophy. The show’s creator Rob Thomas keeps getting confused for singer Rob Thomas, so they had him on the show as himself playing at a corporate event. He was even introduced as “The one and only Rob Thomas!” It ended poorly for him.

Similar story with me, but it was my roommate playing Dark Side of the Moon a couple times a day.

His “qualification” is that his wife is chief of staff to White House Counsel Don McGahn, the guy who approves nominees to put in front of Trump for review. He kinda failed to mention that wee detail to the Senate Judiciary Committee when asked if he had family members who were likely to present a conflict of…

I’ve only skimmed the book, so I’m genuinely curious about this: is the fact that Vanya is a *male* name (nickname variant of Ivan) for a character who certainly looks female a plot thing, or a dumb writer thing?

The initial pitch was based on Duck, Duck, Goose.

I wouldn’t really call this one a downer, except for the fact that a book about the alienation of soldiers returning from Vietnam is still painfully relevant today. Its *sequel*, however, bummed me the hell out, but that was because of how utterly godawful it was. There’s a third, but I haven’t worked up the courage…

And Odin’s horse’s *mother*, so there’s also that...

This set is the “S” series model- note the S405 part of the name. It’s the P607 “P” series model that has the stellar reviews, and that one goes for $600 or $650. (I actually own this one. Decent for $400, but the image quality degrades SIGNIFICANTLY when viewed off center.)

After being asked the same questions again and again on this (contractually-obligated, no doubt) press junket, I bet this was a serious breath of fresh air. I’m not surprised that they were all game for it. I’m not a big fan of Cordon, but he does come up with some seriously goofy stuff.  

And don’t forget that Manafort HANDPICKED Mike Pence for the VP position. Not hinky at all. And that Manafort and Trump have been friends for 30 years regardless of how long he worked on his campaign.

Still smug about getting my pair of 1000X’s for $230 thanks to a Best Buy misprint (?) a few months back. Their weekly flyer said $229.99, but it *immediately* went up to $299.99 in-store and on their website. They had to price match their own weekly flyer, though. Unsurprisingly, the local store sold out quickly.

Really? In ‘83, I was the same age as the kids in the show, and my 15 year old brother used to beat Dragon’s Lair all the time (Track 5, Market Place Mall). Back then, you’d put your two quarters or tokens on the frame of the screen to call the next game, but people would just have him play through the game for them…

Whenever they say, “Life begins at conception,” remember that they also think that all forms of contraception (y’know, the things that prevent conception) are *also* murder. So it’s obvious what their endgame is.

I own the soundtrack and listen to it fairly regularly. Un-ironically.

“Cheap” doesn’t count for much if the coverage is junk and the company doesn’t pay out even if the damage *is* supposedly covered. If you’re shopping around for insurance, ALWAYS read up on how prospective companies treat customers when they actually file a claim. I decided it was worth paying a little more for my…

Or - crazy thought here - buy a damn antenna and plug it into your damn TV. It’s like people have been conditioned into forgetting that not only are over-the-air broadcasts a thing, they’re free.

I once got towed by inadvertently parking overnight in a snow route area with minimal signage while visiting a friend, and it snowed overnight. Oy, that was pricey.
