The amazing Triple Stumper was no one knowing the drunk president of Russia during Bill Clinton's first term. The risk of educators like Cheryl being on the show is that they'll miss questions they should have known. Her history teachers on the Yeltsin question and FJ must have been slapping their foreheads.

No, really, shut the fuck up, Donnie.

It's pretty rich Trump supporters attacking Holliday, Lewis, and anyone else for being unpatriotic, when Trump made his political bones claiming for years that the current president of the United States was illegitimate because he wasn't born in this country. I mean, have people lost that much of their rational minds…

Aren't fascists closer to right-wing capitalists than socialists? A command economy is so they can profit, not because of ideological reasons for the people. If I remember Robert Paxton's The Anatomy of Fascism correctly.

I liked him. He had the air and manner of a William F. Buckley type patrician. No wonder he's in the foreign service.

It would appear out of character for the man we've had for eight years to have been born in Kenya. Prostitutes, sexual kink, Russian blackmail material—nothing Trump's said or done ever in public life would make those things highly dubious. Even if they're not true, there's more reason for liberals to believe them…

Those three little blond girls immediately below every post will be happy. Ponies taste a lot better than pigs.

I've enjoyed the press for Hidden Figures where Ms. Henson has said more than once that if she knew the story of the NASA African-American women when she was a little girls, who knows, maybe she would have been a rocket scientist. I like picturing her at JPL getting very excited, cheering, clapping, and then the Mars…

Looks like Gus himself has been sampling his curly fries product a little too often. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Dear PBS, home of Sherlock, and other channels that do this: ffs, stop showing a preview of the show right before it starts! Why do think I'm already on the channel? If you're trying to retain the viewers from the just-ended show, they won't watch the coming show if they don't already like it, and viewers too lazy to…

Once again: It's gonna be a hell of a new season of The Americans. I'm hoping this news makes the show so popular that it gets a porn parody where Elizabeth's new, icky honeytrap will be shown. I may have phrased that badly. I don't actually want to see that; I was just making a joke. And wishing that The Americans a…

We're actually getting some much needed rain in what will now be the Golden Shower State.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter I saw on a cable when I had nothing else to do. I surprisingly enjoyed it a quite a lot.

Yellow Submarine. Heh. Nice accidental timing, Jeopardy! (I guessed Octopus' Garden, but I surely did not even think Hey Jude or Get Back, which, come on!)

If you like Weekend-Update style comedy, he's fine. His "Closer Looks" have been good. He's a good interviewer.

It's due to many Americans not liking politics that she has this job. Why study and become informed about something you hate?

Okay, fair point, to a certain extent, as long as you're not saying we shouldn't be intolerant towards the intolerant, which is a on-its-face invalid argument. Rephrase as people who are dumb and ignorant about politics and so ideologically rabid that they fail to recognize or practice simple human decency.

I've come to the conclusion that the only animating principle the right has is hatred for the left. They do the same things they decry the left for doing: they advocate for big government, won't cut benefits of their voters, and, now, have elected a celebrity president who has ties with Russia and who promises…

Huh, looking him up right now, I see Bart the Bear died in May of 2000. I thought he died a bit more later. I guess there are other acting bears taking his place.

As I mentioned last night on the Golden Globes post—calling out disrespect, bullying, mocking the handicapped, are not liberal positions. Attacking the content of her speech therefore doesn't make any sense. Neither does attacking the messenger, as Trump was a wealthy Hollywood reality TV star (and that had a tiny bit…
