What about fried onion straws? Where do they rank?

I don't know, man. I respect briney goodness, but you can't forget crisp fresh goodness. The crunch of a slice of fresh jalapeno on a sandwich is very nice!

Well I'm certainly not applying that defense. I'm just saying there are undoubtedly laws and regulations that apply to how he can be disciplined, and this may have been a settlement, and the adjudicating body may be trying to avoid an appeal.

Ditto for any health care practitioners you might be considering seeing. But don't forget that not all disciplinary history is created equally! (Could be something as minor as forgetting to submit proof of continuing education.) And don't forget that some people change (not this guy, clearly). Just be aware of

Is there sufficient evidence to disbar him? Sure, but like sentencing in any criminal case, there are aggravating and mitigating factors and personal leanings of the adjudicating body that come into play. I've seen similar restrictions on people in health care — a permanent ban on treating women, a permanent ban on

That's not smarm.

Oh damn it I sure am. It's been a long couple of years for Mets fans. I feel like I should get bonus points for at least remembering that both Pedro and Johan pitched for the Mets. They did, right?

And then a no-hitter* actually ended his career.

Point taken, even if my experience varies (I never saw Breaking Bad on the news, and my mom never asked me about the Red Wedding — though she did ask me about Sharknado!) and I think you're overstating the relative cultural influences of shows you watch and don't watch (I hardly think GoT would leave a mark on

But that's partially a sign of the times, too. Breaking Bad and GoT might have a big impact on the echo chamber of your (and my!) facebook page and twitter feed and Gawker Media blogs. But a total of just over 10 million people watched the Breaking Bad finale. A great number for the show! But still a small number.

Chuck Lorre's net worth is estimated at $600 million, and all he does is make shitty show after shitty show

Of course, this is in a time (even just 10 years ago!) when viewership was much less fractured.

To answer your question — BBT averages 20 million viewers; Friends averaged 24.7 in a time (just 10 years ago!) when viewership was much less fractured. So yeah, they are pretty much equivalent. Quality is irrelevant.

This is just like pro sports. Is it crazy that they each ask for $1 million per episode when teachers and firemen make much less than that (to say nothing of people on sitcoms that are actually good)? Of course. But they're employees, hired to do a job. Chuck Lorre, the asshat who keeps foisting this garbage

Oh, and saying the "Deadspin guy" is the cybersquatter! The plot thickens.

And now the fake Joel Sherman is telling his (18) followers to follow the squatting fake Jim Bowden!

"Hamas's actions are bad. Israel's actions are worse. If you think that's an endorsement of Hamas's actions, go away and learn how to think."

It's basically a quote from the movie. They do a whole bit on it in the beginning, because parody.

I will say in "They Came Together"'s defense — every joke being kind of obvious was kind of the point.
