I'm always fascinated by the role that the small number of Republican African Americans play. As far as I can tell, black Republicans are genuine outsiders, with wide variation in political positions, and not a coherent ideological bloc. Clarence Thomas' philosophy has to do with just not believing white American will…

I think this is basically right. Some extreme right-wing racists are genuinely dangerous, but as a rule their bark is far, far worse than their bite. I'm sure they'll be some other horrible populist right movement at some point, but in the near future they'll relax back into just supporting horrible public policy.

If we ever get to the point where all people on earth are educated and financially stable, we could be in for a real demographic crisis! Fortunately that's a long way off.

I just learned that this was a Norm MacDonald joke by Googling. I like it better than the David Hasselhof one…more versatile.

Remember the early 90s when Japan was the scariest country of them all, and was going to take over the whole world? I'm not saying we should've let them, but…

Why did it have to be such a terrible Italian stereotype? It could have been anything, an organ grinder, a pizza man…

I would assume the best dancer among all Spider-Man characters would be Dr. Octopus. Sort of a fan-dance thing he'd have, with the arms.

WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH DANCING SPIDER-MAN

I really feel for her. I mean, she probably grew up thinking of Depp the way I did, as sort of a sexy post-patriarchy party dude. It must have been awful, the dawning realization the first time he pushed her around: no, this is not the guy I thought he was, this guy is dangerous to me.

I can't decide if American comedy has done more to help Yiddish or if Yiddish has done more to help American comedy.

The Sean Young Solution, a psychological thriller

Senor Spielbergo dice: Dame Judi Dench, por favor!

But who could play Dinah Soar?

It's really quite astonishing; you'd think there would be other actresses interested in doing this part. But no, no one else has been mentioned.

Some motherfuckers always have to skate uphill.

Would have made time for more shooting, that's for sure.

That kind of surgery can be done in a weekend!

Or the punched Leto from Fight Club, or the mostly-silent Leto from My So-Called Life. These are the only acceptable Letos. (Except the Greek goddess Leto, she's also fine.)

I'm gonna say we want to keep him as far away from nitrious oxide as possible.
