I'm not 100% sure of why he thought of Iago, who I don't recall being physically deformed. That line's perfect summation of the way Shakespeare treated the character of Richard III.

I stuck with Depeche Mode all the way up through Sounds of the Universe, but Delta Machine was real boring, and the new song is not promising.

I'd push it to Wild Mood Swings, but yeah, the tail end of The Cure's career has not been stellar.

Right on. I still don't love Court & Spark, even if "Help Me" is one of her best, and I loved Hejira.

I'd argue (I'm a Fables guy), but it is one of my favorites. It has "E-Bow The Letter" on it, and that might be their best song. The rest of the album holds up real well, although I'd argue they over-did the "soundcheck/live performance" style trick on that one — all the studio songs on that album are awesome, and…

Let's Dance is… not a great album. Neither are many of those that followed. His late career has some bright spots though, including Blackstar (of course) and Outside.

I thought "Lost Cause" was a good song, so I bought the CD for a lot of money without hearing the other songs first because it was 2002. With a few exceptions (Lost Cause and Paper Tiger come to mind), it sounded like the same song being played over and over. Never got the love for that album, and never really loved…

Junk is not a terrible album, but it's not an album I'm interested in at all, either.

4th for me (after EWBAITE) but still a killer album.

Late-period R.E.M. is fine by me. I wouldn't even cite a decline in quality until after New Adventures, and even then it's not much of a decline.

Depends. Is Doomsday the end of life as we know it, or the day when avoiding the end of life as we know it no longer exists as an option?

*Wipes ass*

You're thinking of Sax.

It drives me nuts that nobody talks about this when looking at the "bad demographics" that Republicans face. As marginalized groups gain ground, whether it be in regard to civil liberties, economic success, etc., it is damn foolish to think they won't make a turn to the right as that's happening to stop other…

And that illiterate idiot grew up to be… Stephen Miller.

It's really quite astonishing how the Republicans under Trump have turned "I know you are, but what am I?" into an effective political tool.

Yeah, New START brought us to six minutes, but then we got closer to midnight through the rest of the Obama Administration due to a lack of action on climate and follow-through on nuclear arms reduction and it was at three minutes by the end of his term.

Did you take the ferry?

I grew up in Hampton and my dad's family is in Smithfield, so this really brings the 'stalgia. Have had multiple family functions at the Smithfield Inn.

I got a white man that's better than that! He got that Aryan blood!
