If that's the central statement of Saving Private Ryan, then it's a very stupid statement. The scene would have to be German stabbing a Jew while a Brit checked his watch and twiddled his thumbs.

I presumed he was referring to Perry not having an easy time after becoming a star, ie, drug problems. But it really could be any sort of personal problem Perry was having at the time.

Tim Green's book The Dark Side of the Game (total misnomer, more like the pretty interesting side of the game that stays away from actual darkness) talks about some NFL players having to eat ridiculously to maintain their playing weight because of the insane amount of energy they use up. And how much it sucks to have…

Drop Dead Gorgeous is okay. My wife and I always say "Close up shop" rather than "XYZ."

I read it one trade at a time, separated by months, originally and it didn't hang together for me.

I watched Roman Holiday with my dad when he was dying of cancer. Ah, happy memories.

I had a babysitter who explained that Holmes was a cokehead. That was nice of her, I thought.

You're an old slut on junk.

You can't buy comfortable homes and lives for family and/or coke and hookers with lifetime passes. Unless you're a coke-dealing hooker, Warren.

But sex and drugs are better (and better for you) than any religion, ever.

The Amish pull that, too. They pay people to drive them places in vans.

Bernie Sanders has been in congress since winning election to the House in 1990 and calling himself a socialist the whole time. 

Ta-Nehisi Coates at the Atlantic keeps a pretty good comments section, but he writes mostly about politics, race and history. And occasionally about comic books. 

Intensity is the thing, though. The aborted fetus picture waiving, occasionally doctor shooting and clinic bombing anti legal abortion movement is pretty small, but they're able to wield political power by being all about that, all the time. The larger group of people who might have some concerns about legal abortion,…

Stop hating America, mcc.

His hair has been sworn in already, but not the rest of him.

DBag must have been too busy being in to things before the rest of us to notice the protests against the "Ground Zero Mosque" (which wasn't a mosque and wasn't at Ground Zero and wasn't Holy, Roman or an Empire, either) going down in NYC. Bloomberg knuckled under over that too, didn't he?

First Georgia was Guale, part of Spanish Florida, until the South Carolinians and their Indian allies (Creeks, Cherokees and such) defeated the Spanish and their Indian allies and sold most of the Spanish-allied Indians into slavery from Charleston.

Upstate New York is a particular offender in this regard.
