Cuba's main problem was that the Soviet Union was propping them up with subsidies so when the U.S.S.R. collapsed they lost a sponsor.

One of the references thief Shaw gave Thomas was McCauley in Los Angeles. That was De Niro's character in the Michael Mann heist movie Heat.

Eh, Cuba is a little more complicated than your regurgitated color-by-numbers, Yankee propaganda, so you're the naive one. They did well on literacy and health care - much better than, say Haiti - but then Castro's police state got worse and worse. Part of it was/is the embargo.

I didn't see the hint. Where in the interview is it located?

Because they're all assholes. Some of us can tolerate assholes better than others.

I like Beth, guilty as charged. She's grown and toughened up and is now kind of a Ripley bad ass character. It was funny how she belly-flopped into the pile of zombies at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

Obama. Or the ghost of Ronnie Raygun.

I bet the staffer who is forced to scour Fox News for stupid shit is not going to miss that gig.

I'm going to really, really miss pundit Colbert. He absolutely nails how full of shit these righwing pundit demagogues are.

Lots of people are wrong about lots of things. I have no idea what I wrote that led you to respond like that. Was it just that you disagreed with what you thought I meant to say?

I hope he goes out in a blaze of glory.

Probably some accident involving kinky sex with Poppa Bear.

I seem to remember it the way Meander did. Samaritan hacked the counting machines also. The phone calls vanishing was the first sign and evidence of foul play.

Finch is rightly worried that a soon as they go public, they'd be exposed and eliminated. Then possibly Samaritan would contain the exposure.

Oh, from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I forgot about that.

Like everyone else I loved this episode. It was compelling and thrilling beginning to end. Poor Jason Ritter was convinced that the election was rigged but nobody believed him. Samaritan is going the Republicant route with voter suppression. My guess is that Ritter's character was based on Nate Silver who accurately…

When was that?

Fair enough. Maybe I'm too cynical, but my view is that things are always worse than you imagined. See the new Jeremy Renner movie Kill the Messenger on how the CIA started the crack epidemic.

I'll agree on that one point. They made it pretty clear last season they were cannibals. Other than that? Come on. A zombie elephant ridden by his zombie mother chastizing him? Part of what I like is that it's kind of amateur hour. These guys are just actors not professors.

Yeah that's my guess on why he was weeping. So Gareth and Asshole ate some tainted meat.
