1313 looked very promising. Hope they do something with it. 

Luckily I just picked up Robert Alter's new translation of the Former Prophets. His commentary is always enlightening and interesting.

I got lost on the way to the Regular Show…

Hmmm..I don't see Renoir as kitsch, but rather a great observer of bourgeois French attitudes. (He is not my fav artist for political reasons, but I have an appreciation for him). Maybe where you see kitsch, I see the vanguard of a new outlook on compositional arrangement, softer colors and rounder edges. Looking at…

Dude married a cat with a hook hand. Don't know how that would appeal to Latinos and the Unions. But then again, he could campaign under the "I'm Nauseous,  I'm Nauseous,  I'm Nauseous… for Mitch McConnell's lack of faith in filibuster reform" ticket.

Sorry, gotta do this. I'm a bit of Beatles stickler…"Imagine" is not a Beatles tune. Again, I apologize, but someone had to do it! 

I liked this ep, as I generally do. I haven't been with Regular Show since the beginning, just in the last month or so. I'm catching up on all eps, but I just can't see a decline (but that also could be I'm watching episodes in no particular order). I know some of you might disagree with me. But I do think having a…

Did anyone else catch the song "Will it Go 'Round in Circles" in one of the early episodes? Nice musical cue, IMO. 

I liked this epi, but like RS in general no matter what they do. I really liked the reference to Rigby's brother Don, who really needs to make another appearance soon. 

I really liked it. I don't know if deify is the right word, but it does present him in a good light. I read the book during the election last year and I thought about just how much the US electoral process has changed. As for parts about Bell, I think the dual narrative structure worked because it allowed for the…

Hey, so, yeah Jeff fucked Bam Bam and she ate all the lasagne. Sorry Funkhauser.

"Adequate, forgettable, Occasionally regrettable"

Too bad (or thank Jebus!) that O'Reilly will never write a "Killing Garfield" book. Just imagine trying to link Guiteau with progressives and welfare queens!PS - For a good, a really good book, about Garfield please check out "Destiny of the Republic."

Awesome.

Nice zeugma in the headline. 

Yeah, exactly.

"What would I give, to go back and live in a dorm with a meal plan again?"

Read the comic. Its much stronger as a cohesive narrative, and no Fenton the accountant. Oh, and we all know why Scrooge is Scottish right?

One of my favorite episodes, and one that I just rediscovered a few months ago was an episode called "Scrooge in the Land of Tra-La-La" (or something to that effect). It is one of the few episodes in DuckTales' run to be based directly on a Carl Barks comic. What struck me, when reading the comic and then watching the…
