DId I miss the time Maher encouraged his followers to send Ben Affleck and his family death threats for disagreeing with him about Islam? Because as far as I know, he hasn't actually done that.

The greatest trick the ElDan ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
I guess the question is, do you not believe that any use of language can be literally violent? Because threats, intimidation, and exhortations to others to cause physical or emotional harm are widely accepted as "violence," and not in a figurative sense. I know that many people abuse words such as "rape" and…
His hand was moving around in his pocket and he was thinking about his girlfriend. And he was in high school or college. I'm sure nothing untoward was going on.
Were the Peace Corps big smokers, or were the cigs for trading purposes?
When the central conceit of your party is that everyone involved would sell their mothers into slavery in order to get the wealthiest Americans a tax cut, that isn't a large supply of courage you're working from. I wonder if Trump's smart enough to Scheherazade his way through the Republican agenda, and stretch out…
Do we know how much she's making? The last time I looked at it, it was pretty clear you could make more from consulting work than you could with a job in the administration (particularly if you're a pollster like Conway, since polling is incredibly expensive). Admittedly, that was a long time ago, but I'm betting…
Ivanka seems to have this delusion that she and Jared can go back to their enclave of wealthy liberal Manhattanites after they help her dad run this country into the gutter. I hope she's wrong. She should have to live with the brand she's chosen.
Had a friend? Did you have a falling out, or did your pal huff a bagful of asbestos in an ill-advised demonstration of how safe the substance is?
For some reason, I suspect Andy Dick is the only person who walks out of that cage. He's too annoying to die, and he looks like he can harness the desperate strength of a cornered rat.
She had a great chance to drop the mike after Trump won the election. She'd basically accomplished the impossible, and could've just walked away as one of the top conservative political operatives in town. Instead, she took the administration job, and now she'll be remembered mainly for inventing ever-more fanciful…
Yes, ex-Batmen vs. current presidents would be a much fairer cage match. If anyone is worried about the chief executive being outnumbered, he can bring Pence and Sean Spicer with him.
Completely agreed on directors, and I'd go a step further to suggest it probably also applies to minority directors—you rarely hear about them pulling any BS and continuing to work. Even then, men of color have Spike Lee, who's apparently a handful, but American women seem to have no equivalent to Catherine Breillat.
[Ugh, just realized this posted here instead of under @CanaryMary 's comment. Disqus won't let me move it. I'm agreeing with you.]
That article (which I think was in the Atlantic) was bullshit. To fit this thesis, the author had to overlook that women employ plenty of the same acting gimmicks (most of the stuff we're talking about has nothing to do with real method acting) and they brag about that gimmicky stuff to promote movies, or their own…
Ah, the Mark Wahlberg Method. Almost as well known as an acting theorist as Stanislavski!
He can't just take it, silly! You have to sell it to him…
I think that conservatives and liberals are just wired differently, which leads to different types of media/propaganda being popular. For example, there was this guy on MSNBC (Ed somethingorother) whose show was basically just a liberal clone of a FOX News show—largely fact-free, composed mainly of broad emotional…
When I worked for a pediatrician, one of the patients was a 2-year-old boy named Jane. His mom pronounced it "Jah-ney." By now, that kid must be the toughest man on Earth.
Is Dana Carvey still alive? Because if he is, you've got your conway right there.
