I guess it's a good thing then that I'm so full after a Chipotle burrito that I barely eat anything else the rest of the day. The thing is like a brick in your stomach.

Dikachu, many employers already offer Health Insurance packages to their employees, allowing them to keep healthy. Hell, that's how I have health insurance.

The problem is that it's called a "tax" in order to make the program constitutional. The decisions by judges against Obamacare so far have said how this is a conceit to let the government get away with forcing its citizens to buy a product/service. It's not really a tax, and when the case finally gets to SCOTUS,…

The joke will be less funny in a year or two when SCOTUS rules that the program is unconstitutional. ;)

I don't have a facebook account and refuse to get one, so if this site ends up requiring it for registration, that's it for me.

I'm with Rowan, I liked the Pilot a whole lot better. This one just seem weak and artificially constructed - like a standard sitcom as Rowan said. Still entertaining, but missing the potential shown in the pilot.

I'd love to have a closely cropped full beard, but sadly, my nerd genes don't cooperate.

That's a good rule. It goes hand in hand with not eating Chipotle or any kind of Mexican before a performance.

I think I was just grasping at any opportunity to state my preference for Italian wine over French wine.

That's it, give Zack more reasons to drop the grading for DS9.

"Naren Shankar, TNG's science consultant, sure had some iffy moments in his job on that show. Funnily enough, after TNG ended he became an actual television writer, and a pretty good one, too."

"They also have terrible taste in wines, which I do believe is corroborated by sales statistic."

I just remembered that less than a month ago, he called Kirk's death cheesy & a missed opportunity:

Star Trek Generations
"I think it's a terrific film"

Yes, I avoid facebook like the plague.

And I should email ya, but you said elsewhere that facebook is involved, and I avoid that thing like the plague. The site hit big a few years after I was out of college, so I'm sure if I went to college later, I would have gotten an account. Now, my predilection for privacy and my paranoia of data-mining technology…

Hah, Chuck Norris, never heard that before either. I must really be out of it then (although, I think the Chuck Norris internet meme started after I graduated from NU). Damn, I guess I was too busying studying, partying, playing video games, and downloading mp3s to notice the B-fest while I was living in Evanston. …

"I don't care who paid for name rights, it's damn Comiskey Park. And Sears Tower."

They seemed to keep implying Vietnam, but kept saying American Revolution instead. It was very odd, and it played it safe, I suppose…

Hmm, I went to Northwestern, but never heard of B-fest…odd.
