Heh, yeah. After reading Wired and seeing what a hatchet job Woodward had done to his friend, Dan Akroyd allegedly said, "Maybe Nixon was innocent."

Very interesting point. And it certainly didn't help that Ford and Carter, while honorable men, just didn't have very successful presidencies. It's no wonder people began to equate big government with failure and corruption.

Every time Bernstein gets all high and mighty about Nixon's corruption on television, I want to yell at the screen, "We saw Heartburn! We know what you did to poor Nora."

I kind of view his in a similar vein as LBJ: morally questionable men who committed great evils, but are also responsible for pretty much every great achievement of the middle of the 20th Century.

That's certainly true to a certain extent, but the fact Nixon didn't veto half of what was sent to him is impressive. I fully understand what a paranoid, homophobic, racist ass-hat he was as a human being, but as president, he got stuff done.

Owning property, reproducing, having a job with way better pay, getting to first base…

Yeah, the guy that ran Johnson's welfare state, favored national healthcare, wanted to give every American a minimum income, founded the EPA, gave increased rights to Native Americans, established trade with China, and got much farther in peace talks with the Soviets than anyone else would for at least a decade. Fuck…

And I was really looking forward to trying heroine/crucifixion.

What, you could be… no, she was raped. How about… no, murdered for being a lesbian. How about… no, cancer. But there's… no, played by Malin Ackerman.

I'm really freaking out about turning 33, because everyone says that year is awful. But I freaked out about turning 30 also, mostly because I have accomplished nothing.

I wasn't especially fond of the toys or cartoons, either, but I don't think that's a specifically Jewish phenomenon (I'm a goy, BTW).

What does the first part of your sentence have to do with the second?

Let's Booboo!

Eh, she's always on vacation.

You know you can just listen for free, right?

I feel sorry for Derek and Amy. J'onn leaves Oreo crumbs everywhere.

We've got to be Firm with him or he'll never learn.

Distinguished Competition.

It is probably ground breaking to slip a wee bit of feminism into a show about bros, and somehow not completely alienate them. That would be a Nobel-prize level accomplishment.

It's odd. I've never really warmed up to her stand up (a little too abortion heavy for me), but I've quite enjoyed her show.
