Hey: I nominated Wye Oak's "Holy Holy!"

I'll accept alternating between German and English verses, which is what I stipulated when I nominated "Der Kommisar."

In honor of Lorne Michaels, I will be watching from behind my laptop with my middle fingers extended.

Even in 1996, Barry Goldwater joked with Dole (who, as a reminder, ducked a question about pardoning Nixon in a 1976 vice-presidential debate by pointing out enough American soldiers had died in "Democrat wars" to fill the city of Detroit) about how they'd become the "young liberals of the Republican Party."

Hey, if someone wants to blow this country up, I'd prefer that they do it by the rules.

Ted Cruz is an asshole nobody likes, but he isn't capable of destroying the country by building a white elephant border wall, or committing war crimes against ISIS and alienating all Muslims enough to give birth to something even worse, or abandoning NATO because Vladimir Putin has a suitcase of rubles and wants to

The least I could say about Ted Cruz is that he knows what the Constitution is, and could somehow find a way to twist his ideology into its framework. Trump clearly does give a fuck about that.

They live-streamed the Disco Demolition Night episode, but I was very happy to listen again. The Eddie Gaedel story left out some details that would have made it even more insane. Before the game, Gaedel jumped out of a cake celebrating the 50th birthday of the American League; sports writers grumbled the spectacle

The only time I have ever seen Toasted Corn flavor Doritos is in the movie "Step Brothers," which has not yet been chronicled in this Tumblr.

I suffered (through this interview), but why?

It was strongly implied that Bowie had basically retired from public life due to poor health; Prince had the fucking flu. Men in their 50s don't die from flu complications, and he played a show in my city a week ago.

NBA players seem to be pretty not-politically-abhorrent bunch. None of the ex-basketball players who entered politics that I know of turned out to be hyper-conservative Republicans, which is the polar opposite of what I know about ex-baseball or football players-turned-politicians.

Al Davis spent ten years trying to move the Raiders to that quarry! His son should sue, but not before he sues whoever gave him that haircut.

ESPN commissioned the "Soccer Stories" batch of 30 for 30 films to promote the 2014 World Cup. Since ESPN no longer has any significant broadcast rights to international soccer, the sport might as well be dead to them.

It's a real contrast to compare that to what Shaq and Penny look like now. Penny still looks in playing shape, despite all the injuries, while Shaq insists that beard (which makes his face look even fatter than it already is) is a good look for him.

Strangely enough, Golden State got two of those first round picks back the next year after the Magic packaged them in the Scott Skiles trade to the Bullets, who then traded them back to the Warriors in exchange for…wait for it…Chris Webber, who demanded the trade to be reunited with Juwan Howard, his Michigan Fab Five

Jose Sulaiman didn't have a beard!

I actually find "The Voice" to be a more tolerable form of light entertainment because of how self-contained it is. I have no idea what the winner of each season gets, and I couldn't care less. It's a remarkably tight production; the show is much better in its pacing than "Idol" ever was.

The same people also say they listen to everything, except for rap and country.

Law and Order episodes were basically more valuable in syndication than they were first-run. Idol has the shelf life of one of those newly-discovered elements.
