Yeah, I have to agree. None of us commenting here are the subject of paparazzi harassment. He might not have been worried about another ER patient so much as a tabloid photographer who could waltz right into his room and get $10k for a photo of Taylor Swift’s ex with a bloody gash across his face.

I made this argument once with that rarest of creatures, a pro-life commentor who was willing and able to have a civil and insightful discussion with me, a pro-choice commentor.

I think by “2 or 3 hour special” you mean “blockbuster Hollywood movie”. ;)

I don’t know if anyone will see this, but I have a question. If my plane goes down at 37,000 feet, my seat cushion is not going to be much use as a flotation device. But what about a parachute? If the plane is tanking, couldn’t at least some passengers jump for it? At that point the plane is going down and everyone…

Lol I also posted that he liked The Dark Knight.

This guy’s favorite movie is V for Vendetta. He also watches The Dark Knight occasionally and finds himself sympathizing with the Joker for his clarity of vision.

Yep. In 2008, the moment I lost all respect for “moderate Republican” John McCain, Friend of the Daily Show and seemingly decent person, was at a rally when someone in the audience shouted “Kill him!”, “him” meaning Barack Obama. McCain’s reaction was, “Now, now, my friend.”

Yeah, his concession speech needs to be an impassioned list of 50 names in 50 states that his supporters should turn their attention to.

I hate nude selfies as both sender and recipient, but if a guy sent me a photo of a below-the-belt tattoo with the caption “tit for tat?” I would feel seriously bad that I could not reward him for that line. (Is this already a thing on Tinder? I don’t know. I’m an Old.)

The easiest solution is to convince bars to host Election Night happy hours. Wear your “I Voted” sticker to receive $1 shots until your state is called. Must show proof that you voted to receive the discount. Show the election results rolling in on the big screen TVs. Organize bar games based on people’s “teams”. Make…

“anything we can do to protect human life I’m all for”

I never stare at a woman’s shirt, like at the fullness of a concealed breast. So a huge rack in a turtleneck is something I literally might not even notice. A hint of cleavage won’t get me either. There has to be at least 2-3" of cleavage happening before I really take note. Actually what gets me more than cleavage…

Okay as a New Yorker I may have to go with this as my least favorite and also a thing I’m sorry we ever did. *Shudder*

No wait, I was wrong! This is the worst tweet of all time:

I’m going with Abbott. Mainly because I clicked both tweets and went as far down the rabbit hole as I dared, and on Abbott’s feed I saw this:

There’s been an error in the reporting on this story. According to the linked article, the gunman was rejected by another woman, got into an altercation with her, and then just randomly attacked this woman and her child. It’s sparse on the details to be sure, but the story makes it pretty clear that the 3-year-old’s…

God how awful, I’m sorry you have to put up with that. There was a guy at my last office who touched me a lot, but always stayed just on the side of the line where no one would have accused him of anything except being overly friendly. It’s not an accident that these guys find the razor’s edge of publicly-acceptable…

I am seriously afraid it’s Tyrion who’s doing the underestimating, and that he, Missandei, and/or Grey Worm will potentially pay the price for it. This is fundamentally a story about Westeros, and neither Missandei nor Grey Worm have a huge stake in the future of that nation - they have no throne to fill, no tie to…

I can’t wait to have Cersei, Margery, and Olenna form an uneasy truce and go after the Sparrows. If Cersei and Margery could just learn to get along, they would control Westeros (or at least King’s Landing) with an iron fist.
