I always figured that they are the right-wing answer to muckrakers like Michael Moore. Moore does “stunts” that make people look bad but at least they are transparent as such.

I thought it was remarkable how the structure of that anecdote matched the structure of the “invisible planes” anecdote.

I tend to look in my mirrors a lot, probably more than necessary. For some reason my #1 concern is who is behind me.

Seriously, if he tweets that or says it on the record anywhere else, congress should investigate.

...but that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like some of them if we happened to meet and avoided politics. That’s the strangest thing about all of this, really.

There oughtta be a congressional investigation on whether Time reached out to the Trump administration at all. If not, this would be a perfect opportunity to 25th Amendment his ass - “You mean he just made up the invite out of whole cloth? Who does that?”

You sound like an unpleasant prick. Your mom should have aborted.

Well, why the fuck did you stop petting him?

Yes. Brooklyn is really big. 2.6 million people. Like 30 different neighborhoods. So, it’s not all like Williamsburg or Park Slope or whatever you are thinking. It’s possible that Ft.

Well, duh! If there was anyone on television that seemed like an obvious scumbag is was Charlie Fucking Rose.

for what it is worth i have heard of this guy and i think it is admirable that he is voluntarily disowning the power of capital letters.

I’m mostly with Sean, though I would describe Zappa less as “admirable” and more as “a really smart guy on some level” who worked his ass off to create whatever he wanted to create. (I could give a fuck about his opinions on censorship etc.)

Yeah, they could go straight from still living with their parents to the board room. That would be quite a coup. Then we could start euthanizing old people at a ceremony called Carousel, and there would be lots of sexy (yet consensual) teleportation going on.

Is there a grownup who could teach you how to comment in a way that is not shrill and irritating?

He says he “joked” to her about wanting to “attack” her sexually, and then thrust her up against a wall.

They have the exciting contest between Donovan and Michael Grimm coming up, though.
