The aliens decided to build a team around two centers (one of which was Shawn Bradley!), two power forwards, and an average, very tiny point guard. They deserved to lose.

Needs more Ziggy.

"But Marge, I was a political prisoner."
"How were you a political prisoner?"
"I kicked a giant mouse in the butt! Do I have to draw you a diagram?"

Maybe it would if Spider-man would just turn off the fucking dark already!

Having never watched the show, I assume it takes place in an alternate universe where instead of becoming a successful singer/songwriter, Aimee Mann ended up as Bill Gates.

Haley Joel Osment for Karen Page or GTFO.

I'm sorry, this Chilean National Team Commercial makes me want to run through a brick wall to kick Australian buttl. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

If you told a Falcons fan from, say, 1966 to 2008 that they could be a team that's good but not quite making it all the way, they'd take that in heartbeat.

Of course, the idea that she would lose New Hampshire just a few days after succeeding to the top job is ludicrous. There'd most assuredly be a rally round the new President in a national crisis bump, especially within her own party. Even if it were shortlived, it'd still completely lock up the race. Look at how…

I actually thought there'd be a great episode out there: The entire show is built around going home-what if there wasn't a home to go back to? What if everything you knew was going to be swept under a totalitarian boot? An hour built around the Voyager crew reckoning with that question (especially as they lose the…

And how he got in position to do just that. While I'm looking forward to this miniseries, one of him in the Senate, negotiating between his Texas constitency, the Southern power bloc, and the Northern Liberals would make a great short TV series on its own.

I'd say the biggest roadblock to accuracy is the second volume, "Means of Ascent" which covers his 1948 race for Senate. He "won" the Democratic Primary (at that time the de facto election) narrowly, by 87 votes, over Gov. Coke Stevenson, and with support from various counties full of voter fraud. But people generally…

The most recent volume came to early 1964, so I don't think they got to that yet, no.

Given tonight has featured "Rocky: The Musical" and "Finding Neverland: The Musical" The Simpsons was clearly 18 years ahead of its time.

TUSK!

I'm kind of amazed that the "Jim Belushi ends up mentally disabled because he got hit with a baseball and goes on a journey of discovery with Whoopi Goldberg" movie from this week's inventory somehow hasn't been a WHM Podcast yet.

It's truly a sign of how far we've come that America is finally ready for a black Michael Bloomberg.

They Day After and WarGames were 1983 though, when Andropov was in power, and after Reagan's defense buildup and rhetoric, the shooting down of KAL 007 by the USSR, and the near miss of Able Archer 83, the Cold War was at one of its most frigid points.

Plastic Bag! Plastic Bag! Plastic Bag!

Now it's mostly Alien Hitler.
