Efficiency first, people! The amount of energy we waste is ridiculous. Then renewables (especially on-site, as there are a lot of issues with siting large-scale facilities and transmission), more investments in public transportation, etc.

Worried I'd get all depressed
Is the ending enough to compensate for all the misery before that? I can handle a movie that's a little bit of a downer, but I don't want to get all over-empathetic and let this put me in a funk about all the poor kids in abusive families. I'd like to see this, as it seems it has some…

Dang. I hope you people have Child Protective Services on speed-dial (I know nobody really uses speed-dial anymore, but still; it's in the lexicon!). I sometimes yearn for the power to sterilize people with my thoughts.

Also, that Glenn Beck video was tedious and painful. I made it halfway through, which I thought was quite good, considering. Why did I have to look into his eyes that much? I don't even look into my boyfriend's eyes that much. And why are conservatives so obsessed with redemption stories? Just don't be an asshole…

For some reason, the YouTube comments made me think of my favorite customer review ever, for a kitchen scale from Target by 'Tight and happy "Tight and happy" (Boise)':

It's always easy to tell which AV Club commenters think The Game has really got a point.

Silly Youtube commenters! It's our women and Asians who can't drive, not our blecks!

My pretend roller derby name is Scarlett O'Terror. I like it.

Oh, El Santo. I'm always happy to see references to FOOB, but that is a misuse of "roadside." I am torn! Roadside refers to dirty Canadian teenagers whose skanky ways bring on the censure of the Pattersons and their ilk.

Women as a rule never have sex with anyone who has the first name Adolph or the last name Hitler or Pubes. You are cursed doubly, my friend. Maybe you could just go by "Oliver!" like the musical.

I weep for phel and her Canadian TV. I just canceled my cable too, but it's due to Netflix's Watch It Now. I don't have time for both in my life!

He is a douche concocted of lye and bile. He is vagina-destroyingly bad.

I will repeat myself from that other discussion about Love, Actually — HUGH GRANT DANCING AROUND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY! Instead, it just made me cringe uncomfortably for several minutes. And the "American's suck and/or are idiots who will fuck uggos" thing is just lazy and boring. And why does almost every man in…

Beautiful write-up
I read this book several months ago, and I thought it was fantastic. I tried to make my boyfriend read it, but he's been having a tough time getting started on it. It's always frustrating having something you feel so strongly about treated all ho hum-style, so I felt very gratified reading this post…

She's a girl and she's pretty, but she mysteriously won't do them. That = bad. And deserving of their nerdy little ire. Nerdy little ire of the tiger.

Since when is 1,930 years ago NOT "almost 2,000 years ago?"

so they want to be the opposite of Obama, but the same as Bush?
This article makes it sound like they were al athletic demi-gods before this, under Pres. Bush. But that guy ran every day and had a resting pulse of 40 or something ridiculous. So were they trying to imitate him, while Obama brings out all of their…

Hating on infertility, eh D? Harsh! Didn't they already have a baby naturally, though?

Astaroth: Getting molested screws people up. And if occasionally listening to Loveline has taught me anything, it's that people are molested constantly.

Yeah, these sorts of pictures fairly often come out after a pagent win or any other kind of public attention. Vanessa Williams, for instance. People only bother looking when the person is famous enough to be worth the trouble.
