Prejean was already representing California; she was trying to become Miss USA to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. (Or was it Miss World? Like I give a fuck.)
Anyway, disqualifying her for her stupid answer—which showed a lack of poise as well as the inability to think quickly and effectively—is okay since…

Our Brave Boys
Capaldi was my favorite character in an excellent cast.
"Don't smoke, don't drink, make my own dresses, sir."

These are the jokes, son.

I wanted to open a crafts shop and call it Hand Jobs. But I'm in East Texas, and it proved a bad idea.

Was Thatcher worse than or equal to William the Conqueror? There's some disagreement.

Remember the one that was an homage to Alfred Hitchcock? God, that one was funny.

It's pretty much the same as Christian "humor." Like poop jokes to a 5 year old.

I like it too, but it's not a pun. Just saying.

Back when, I sat right behind the Knicks' bench, in the folding chair section. (Also free corp. perq tickets.)
Couldn't see a damned thing unless I stood up.

I think structured water is apt punishment for anyone stupid enough to buy it.

You might remember them as "freedom cuffs" from a couple of years back.

You can always try eBay now to check possible value, but I'd vote for ziploc and bank deposit. You never know.

But with Friedman, there's also the music/books crossover action. Since Friedman has a series of detective novels starring Kinky Friedman, private eye.

Well, I never heard of such goings on.

Interesting bit on NPR this morning. The antibiotics given to feed animals (cattle, pigs, chickens) to promote fast growth are now proving ineffective when used to fight infection in people who eat the animals. I guess that means almost all of us.

Tsk. Not wise to shake one's head if one has whiplash.
Or, not wise to shake your head if they have whiplash.
Or, their head, he has, she said…

Runaway pronouns
"But much as one can never look at themselves and see what others see—unless they have a camera… or a mirror—for normal people, it's impossible to define one's self-worth,"
It's enough to cause whiplash.

Hi! We're the Grammar Police & we're here to help you
Or the spelling police, anyway:
"So Josh basically answers one question the entire time (not counting the few questions at the very end, only eluded to as the credits roll)"
Should be "alluded to," not "eluded to."

My favorite Hoynes scene is *that* one where he's in a photo op with a girls' softball team or the like, you hear sirens outside, and the Secret Service guys come in and grab him, "escorting" him to safety.
The look on his face—a bit of fear, a bit of ambitious hope, and a whole lot of oh my god.

The Kennedy assassination (the first one). I was too young to really understand much, but I remember thinking, and being terrified, that this meant the Russians were going to take over the US and we'd all be slaves or something. (I grew up in a Nixon-supporting home.)
The second thing was being angry that the days of…
