That's the only thing that gives me hope Norma won't be dispatched too early: It would deprive us of the incredibly painful pathos of making her and Romero very happy first.

I get way too sensitive about that stuff. I had to hum a jaunty tune in my head and look away briefly.

It's also about how much I love the sentient issue of The Atlantic known as Chris Matthews.

Glad we won 50 percent of a compliment from you, Sukaluski.

Glad we won you back, Roswulf.

You guys, this is exactly the kind of conversation I hoped this piece would spark. Thank you both for your thoughtful positions and insightful readings.

Thanks for offering your critique, though I do disagree with your assessment. The article specifically didn't critique the concept of "insiders"—any more than it claimed some pure non-partisan position or desire to "attack" the idea of insiders. It was about the tension that arises between the concept of insiders and…

Your suggestions are appreciated, and you'll be pleased to know that a number of them have already been discussed as things we'll likely be taking a look at in the coming months. Think of this more of an opening salvo in an ongoing discussion we can have—looking forward to your thoughts!

Hey, Roswulf. Our politics coverage (when it comes) won't be about the political ideologies in competition. We're not here to tell anyone what party to be or who to vote for. We cover pop culture—which, during an election year, includes the way the media covers the Presidential race. So our coverage will be about the…

It's cool, we play touch football on weekends.

Yes he did. Which is why I didn't call him the founder of Penthouse. Thought it was clear I was just using him to lump together these types of mags (he's the biggest name, still) and the guys who run them. My apologies if that didn't scan.

That is a very good way of putting it, jmyoung666,

Dr. Jacoby has a firm grasp of the words that are written above! As well as a tendency to read all of them!

Again, while I'd love to pretend it was some next-level joke, the truth is I had just been listening to the Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson soundtrack and my brain decided to fuse the two musicals into a single entity. Actually, the deep joke idea sounds better, let's go with that.

C.C. gets it! If only it excused my error, which neither Andrew Jackson nor Alexander Hamilton would have permitted. Well, maybe Jackson, he wasn't exactly in Mensa.

There are EIGHT FINGERS POINTING BACK AT ME WHEN I FLIP YOU ALL OFF.
Just kidding, I love you guys.

To the four thousand people correcting me on Twitter right now, yes, you are right, I had Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson stuck in my head while writing, and accidentally brain-farted the previous musical while writing. Fixed now, good looking out.
