You actually think there is something “good” about Sandler’s oeuvre? I guess I should check out “Happy Gilmore” some time, but he rarely makes me laugh. Thanks for the warning on this one, I generally avoid this guy’s work like the plague. Not my cup of tea, I guess.

[In best Stannis Baratheon voice] Fewer! I agree 100% with the sentiment of your post, btw.

Who do YOU think is paying for this POS? Hint, it ain’t coming out of Chris’ wallet. You’re welcome, taxpayers of the State of New Jersey.

Now that I know these people are opposed to the bill, it makes my choice to support it all that much stronger. These are celebrities, not scientists or doctors. I don’t take health care advice from them, nor do I ask my doctor about the best way to handle a TMZ scandal. (N.B. I don’t live in CA, so this does not…

I endorse the Embark recommendation. It’s available for many transit systems, and I use the NYC, LIRR and NJT versions. Very useful apps.

I heard a very interesting interview of the new coach of the Cardinals (?), who said that the manager is often putting on a show for his team, and “protecting” them. It explains a lot of these antics, I think. McClendon did it very well, I’m sorry I missed him jacking first base. The perfect ending?

A minor correction, if I may: “Probably shouldn’t have had Julia Roberts try to sound Irish act, though.”

Dear Governor Christie: White pants are NOT your friend. /s/Me.

Now I know why I only listen to Kornheiser with the sound off. What a maroon....

Are Matt Parker and Trey Stone getting ready to sue? Looks like a Mr. Hankey ripoff to me...

I know this is becoming a bit of an Internet meme, but here goes: “ It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!“ — Upton Sinclair, I, Candidate for Governor: And How I Got Licked (1935). I’m sure Cain is getting a handsome salary from someone for…

Thanks for that link. Very informative.

This. The actual language in the contract is going to govern, not what either said tells the media it says. It does sound as if Cashman and the Yankees are going to challenge the interpretation of the clause. A bit difficult to critique the deal if, like me, you haven’t actually read the contract.

Co-sign. A man who hits a woman is NOT a “man” in my opinion. The only possible excuse would be self-defense. It’s not working, Ray.

I’m sure you can explain the shirt. What about the dual thumbs-up/white guy dance move??

Ana, let me help you; you just read the deranged ravings of a very, very stupid man. You’re welcome.

Magary Dentata? The horror...the horror.

So, Mr. Kluwe, when are you taking over his column? Great stuff here, sir, thank you.

Second follow up: What the hell would it take for you to think of him as a bad person? A third beating??

There was a PBS broadcast of (I believe) a BBC production. It starred Alec Guiness as Smiley, and was quite good. Not exactly competing with ABC/NBC/CBS.
