Andy's statement that LA is where dreams go to die is the subject of many superb Hollywood films - Sunset Blvd, A Star is Born, Barton Fink, to name a few - but none comes close to capturing the delirious feverish psychosis that is the Hollywood Dream more potently and powerfully than David Lynch's monumental INLAND

Pop will eat itself.

Does this mean I won't have to wait any longer to witness the army of Little Monsters begin to cannibalize themselves, wildly lashing out, savagely accusing one another of having failed to have adequately supported their fantabulous, magnificolossal, superpsychosexy Goddess Mother?

So, my adolescent fantasies are now nothing more than evidence of my stunted development?! Yeah, that sounds right.

Guns don't kill people. People with exposure to more than 5,000 hours of cinematic gun violence kill people, in precisely choreographed slow motion awesome dramatic style.

Narcolepsy is a dangerous medical condition and nothing to laugh at - just like American Dad!

No evidence? Well, see that right there is the crux of the biscuit. If you chose to not even acknowledge the conditions, the innumerable overt symptoms of the disease than you are much more likely to deny a critical diagnosis. George Carlin expressed the situation quite eloquently when he explained that for there to

But many of the "little mostly unrelated games" are discreet elements, pieces of a puzzle which when correctly connected reveal a disturbingly graphic picture of collusion and cooperation in a conspiracy of common cause. Capiche?

Yep, no one is perfect and Maher can certainly be a smug, arrogant prick, but he does seem to have an appreciation for lively, rational debate, as opposed to Colin Quinn who was mostly just awaiting his opportunities to deploy his rehearsed material. He's funny and even eloquent but Quinn doesn't take himself so

You are a supremely confident believer in your vision of reality. That in itself is suspicious. If I've learned anything in this life it's that it's risky if not reckless to be so proud. The possibility that there are unified forces - undeclared alliances laboring to advance their shared objectives operating below the

But even though that I know that his persona and edgy material are just devices by which he structures his humor I still can't help feeling he's deeply demented. I realize it's safe to assume any comedian is emotionally troubled, but I suspect Anthony Jeselnik feasts on the spleens and gall bladders of still living

I think the subtle but critical point that your missing is that your contention that the USA "isn't perfect but it's more liberal than most of the world and its definitely moving towards a more liberal progressive society" proves the depth and power of the Conservative Agenda. Your sentiment flies in the face of all

If you or I owned a corporation that was part of a larger industry which funded powerful lobbyist and we socially interacted with congresspeople and other high officials we'd most likely be so fucking pissed off and outraged that there was so much resistance to our "honest" and "selfless" efforts to improve conditions

C'mon, be serious for a minute. You know for a fact - in your heart, on your dear ol' mom's life - American Dad! is not worthy of much praise. It's a derivative, lame, lumbering, tedious copy of Family Guy but without the subtle charm. Ha! Your pulse just jumped 20 beats, didn't it?

You laugh because that's a natural response to confronting an alien truth. Your human instinct is alerting you to the possibility that maybe all is not as you imagine it to be. Seriously, if you believe in The American President and in his Authority and in the Eternal Fate of America, well, you are a brave dreamer.

But the "us" who get special, favorable corporate laws passed is not the "us" that includes you and me.

We the People do not elect the President, at least not the one we really want.

Ignorance is bliss.

A while ago I came to the realization that the Rothchild legacy is a real, functioning, highly complex entity which is laboring to control global affairs. There are competing forces, yes, but the nature and scale of the Rothchild Mission is beyond just about anyone's capacity. The Rothchild "enterprise" doesn't

You have perfectly expressed the Contemporary Conservative Credo: If it ain't making you personally sick, it's not a real disease. It's just soft brained, weak hearted liberals imagining things. There's no imminent environmental catastrophes, no threat of a global collapse of the delicate biological web which supports
