There are four weekly hours of comic book characters on prime-time network TV, with more on the way. Superheroes have essentially taken over the movie business, and most of the films are great. Heck, we finally got the 60s Batman TV show on (gloriously restored) home video!

In general, I think governors and mayors would be better choices because they have experience running places, whereas congresspeople are just flunkies.

I used a company recommended by my realtor. They broke three mirrors and two other pieces of furniture, they flat-out lost/stole stuff, they scraped the bajeebus out of furniture. My mattress was carefully shrink-wrapped; when they delivered it, it was unwrapped, dirty and smelly and I threw it out.

Yeah, because nothing beats a dreadfully dull sport played on another continent.

I don’t get the hatred for the All-Star game being the basis for home field. Did people like it better when it just alternated every year? If they’re not going to award home field based on something that makes sense like head-to-head (if they met) or Interleague win %, then what the hell, this is as good as anything…

College basketball is utter shit. A bunch of teenagers, most of whom you have never heard of and will never hear of again, blowing layups and missing open jumpers, playing for schools no one gives a damn about. Oooh! March Madness! The opening weekend is a bunch of garbage schools that should be in D2 losing to…

Sponsoring or shepherding important legislation. Driving policy. Enacting laws. Governing in tough times. As an example, what Scott Walker did to the unions bleeding WI dry. Or, should you favor the left, Nancy Pelosi's efforts to get Obamacare passed.

if a popular celebrity ran for President and didn't say anything stupid, they'd win.

I drove from NJ to Myrtle Beach without stopping except a couple pee breaks, because the other three guys on the trip were smoking dope the whole way and I didn't want to die.

Professional movers are among the biggest collection of shitburgers in the world. You might as well just break all your stuff yourself and throw it out; you'll save money and suspense.

I met an old-time groupie at a Jimmy Page/Black Crowes show in the late 90s (99?) in the VIP area I snuck into. She had remained in contact with both Plant and Page, who had sent her the tickets. Before they came on she told me some stories, nothing outlandish, and said they were all charming, delightful guys who…

I force myself to overlook that. But yeah.

Just not Gambit. He’s such a tool. Walking around calling everyone “Mon Cher” and “Petit” all the time like Pepe Le Pew. Insufferable.

My exposure to Kanye West has been that song where he’s got Kim K writhing around him on a motorcycle, his appearance at the Hurricane Sandy benefit show, and the recent awards show where he was lying down “singing” under a tarp or some shit.

Also, people hate A-Rod because he’s a Yankee. Yankee fans sure don’t - he’s the only guy on the team who can hit, so they’ll be cheering him till he stops.

Heh... if by "towards the end" you mean when we were choking away the division for the second consecutive year then yeah, the fans were fairly angry. And management did seem to stop doing maintenance on the building about when they started planning Citifield, so it was falling apart. But I still loved it. Citi is a…

I was there, and I did not.

You shut up. Shea was Heaven.

When my wife-to-be and I were dating, she implored me to leave what looked like a loss early because she was cold, or hungry, or whatever. As we got into my car in the Shea parking lot we could hear the crowd go nuts. Mets had capped a comeback with a Howard Johnson (my favorite player at that time) walkoff HR. …

The Wave is utter horse shit.
