Yes, and by a considerable amount. Me and a friend got to the Alien: Covenant screening an hour in advance and were still shut out. Then it started raining the moment we left the theater, and the South Loop bar we were trying to get into was closed for a private event. It did, indeed, suck.

We are going to make it through four years if it kills us.

Did anyone ever see the musical version? It was a while ago, but I remember John Lithgow being pretty great in the Michael Caine role. Also, during the part of the story where the other con man has to pretend to be a mentally-challenged sibling, Lithgow sang some song about noble families having a history of producing…

I feel like it's almost the difference between mimicry and acting. That John Di Domenico guy does the best job recreating Trump's actual voice, which is a neat parlor trick that should keep him gainfully employed for the next four to (ugh) eight years, but he doesn't quite capture the uniquely disgusting character…

Who should take over the role? No one in the cast seems like a very natural fit, but the trend of having Trump played by non-cast members (Hammond, Baldwin) seems to have been rooted in the overly-optimistic assumption that he would fade from the public eye post-election, a la Palin. If the show wants to continue…

My super-conservative father is a hardcore Quayle apologist. Has at least one of his books, and insists that he was set up during the infamous "potatoe" debacle.

I think the inexcusable continuation of the Vietnam War should cost him some points. He privately realized it could not be won, but actively sabotaged LBJ's peace talks so that he could make it a campaign issue in 1968, then drug the war on for another four years to campaign on it again in '72, then brought it to an…

"President Trump's Tweet Found Not Libelous Due to Misspelling of Three-Letter Word" is one of those joke headlines you would have come up with when the idea of him becoming president still seemed laughable.

Would you prefer they headline it "Razzie Award-Winning WWE Hall of Famer and Former TV Game Show Host is Fucked in the Head"?

Looking forward to their documentary about our current president, "When Will You Die?"

Well, only 55% of Americans who were eligible bothered to vote. And of those that did, a plurality (48%) actually did the rational thing, while 46% voted for a white nationalist moron, and the remaining 6% decided they'd have fun with a little protest vote. So while you and I and the 65,853,514 other Clinton voters…

Don't give God's lawyers any ideas, you dirty loophole-finder.

I remember at one point during that shitty hair-tussle interview, Fallon's hardest softball was asking something along the lines of "what's up with your Putin bromance," to which Trump responded, "Look, I don't know Putin, I've never met the guy, but if he says nice things about me, then I'm going to say nice things…

Honestly, I find the away fans worse than the home ones. I've been to Wrigley several times as a Reds fan and gotten very little flak for it; however, Reds vs. Cubs games in Cincinnati were especially insufferable. Still can't shake the image of that shirtless guy in a captain's hat with the Cubs logo tattooed to his…

Eez kinda funny…

Speaking of which, I've always wanted to make some of the runs-inducing recipes from "Stan's Food Restaurant."

I once paid a $5 cover to see a musical duo featuring Scott Grimes and some dude from "The Bachelor" play a show, simply because I so greatly appreciate the former's voice work as Steve. Then Grimes had some other obligation and was placed by some other dude on acoustic guitar. So I've still never gotten the chance to…

I'm not sure there's any show I've been happier to be proven wrong about. Something I originally wrote off as probably being a weak Family Guy clone with McFarland's broad conservative satire thrown in turned out to be a genuinely hilarious and highly rewatchable show. Episodes from the golden era of seasons 5 through…

Yeah, to be clear, I think the "evil genius" Trump narrative is dumb. He's evil, but certainly no genius, and his "Being There"-esque ascendancy would be funny if it weren't so sad. However, following that same logic, the idea that he's a closet Nazi with secret genocidal plans is also probably giving him too much…
