not just you, I got confused a couple times as well.

Pastor Tim: "Well did you try asking them to slow down?"

The thing I like about Taco Bell is that I can reliably predict, with surprising accuracy, the onset of my next case of greasy, spicy, radiation-orange diarrhea

Nailed it, Ebert: "What unwritten law prevented the makers of "Reality Bites" from observing that their heroine can't shoot video worth a damn, that their hero is a jerk, and that their villain is the most interesting person in the movie?"

Reality Bites is so, so awful. But I loved Ebert's takedown: http://www.rogerebert.com/r…

I'm actually for nuclear power. I get what you're saying but I believe we already have much more than an aggregation of news articles and anecdotes. Part of the issue for me is 1) I can imagine very few situations where militarized police are necessary, and 2) I live in the DC area, and Prince George's County has…

Me too, I have two large and extremely friendly English setters who would definitely bark like crazy if someone just barged in the front door. The thing that brought my attention to this was the Cheye Calvo raid (quick Google search will tell you all you need to know) which happened not far from where I live. Really…

I get that, but it's another form of the same type of thing. I'm not convinced that the Marshal's service needs to be G.I. Joe either, with the exception of cornering really dangerous and heavily armed fugitives. The reviewed show might have been such a legit case but it seems like the show is glorifying a type of…

That definitely contributed but a lot of the early "militarization" was happening in L.A. in the late 80s (also when the show 'Cops' started) in response to gang violence. Somewhere we decided every town in America, large or small, needed a military assault team trained to respond to the smallest threat with hails of…

I'm interested in watching this show now based on the picture. I can't wait to watch this small, ragtag group of Texans fight off the four dozen Taliban fighters occupying their neighborhood. Obviously that's what's going on here. I mean there's no way they'd be making such a big deal out of catching a lone redneck…

Well Fatty Doo Doo never broke down a family's door, murdered the pets, and handcuffed Grandma to a table. Not yet, anyway.

Sarcasm aside, I think we're way overdue for a major documentary that shows just how stupid, pointless, and harmful SWAT teams are. Maybe a doc consisting entirely of raids where homeowners' dogs get shot for no reason (happens almost every day somewhere) or where a bunch of innocent relatives get tied up, terrified…

As a matter of fact I'm currently drinking myself into a state of dissolute beasthood

Brent DiCrescenzo planted the hate seed that defined my neverending love/hate relationship with Pitchfork. I think today I have a slightly different set of reasons to resent Pitchfork but he was the villain I loved to hate back in the day.
