I believe we're now 11 days from the election. Trump, who pledged to contribute $100 million of his own money to his campaign, has actually put in a mere $56.1 million. Well, you think, maybe he's going to make a big donation right at the end in a last-minute blitz. Wrong. This month, through Oct. 19, he's donated…

Mea culpa. I tend to forget that one, probably because I think of Costner and then I think of Field of Dreams. But you're right that it's on the short list (although I still prefer Major League).

Actually, I don't know that there are better baseball movies. Maybe The Natural or the original Bad News Bears is better. Maybe. If Major League isn't the best, it has to be right there at the top. I'll concede that I haven't seen every baseball movie ever made, though.

How do you see your district going, Velocirapstar? I was looking at the 538 map recently and realized that — assuming all else goes as expected — if Clinton wins the Nebraska second district, Arizona, Iowa, Ohio and Georgia, you could travel up and down both coasts, and from the Pacific to the Atlantic, exclusively in…

Are we talking de grace or d'etat? If the former, I guess you could give her credit for striking a number of death blows to Trump's campaign (although, to be fair, he helped her out with a lot of those).

Arguably?

Thanks. I think focusing on and looking forward to little things is good advice. I don't know if I'm actually depressed, but I'm just feeling bored and stuck at work and in my life generally, and I'm having trouble seeing how I might get un-stuck. Then, on Friday, a friend said he knew of a job he thinks I should…

I don't know what to say to make you feel better, but you're good people, from what I know of you here. I'm sorry, and I hope you feel better soon. I've been feeling pretty down lately (though my problems don't compare to what you're going through), and Thursday might have been the worst of it. Then I got two separate…

As other people have pointed out, if he sues, he'd have to open himself up for discovery. He wants no part of that. His threats are — shockingly — empty bluster.

I'm not going to say it's over until Clinton gets to 270. But if I were the type of person who would declare it over at this point, well, I'd say it's over. Trump's saying that he might not peacefully accept election results puts a bow on it. That's the big story coming out of this debate — not how close to normal…

I feel like it may not have gotten as much credit as it should have because it got a premium time slot (right after The Cosby Show), but I've always thought it was a really good show in its own right.

Sometimes it means you can't go to Duff Gardens. And the funeral might not be catered. It's just not fair, dammit!

Sadly, the lack of great nicknames is a blight across all sports, not just college hoops. It seems like all people do now is take someone's first initial and some shortened version of his or her last name, e.g., A-Rod or D-Wade. That's not a nickname, people; that's just saving a few characters.

I liked it the whole way through, but as I recall, I liked the show better in the early seasons when MacGyver went all over the globe, thwarting evil foreign governments and agents. In the later seasons, he was more of a stay-at-home social worker who helped a lot of troubled youths, which wasn't quite as exciting.

Aw, you just beat me.

The G train, Nermal!

I haven't seen it, honestly. I loved the original, but I was a pre-adolescent kid, so I have no idea what I'd think of it now.

Bad time slot, bad reviews? No matter. All MacGyver needs to get a full season is his roll of duct tape, a Swiss army knife, and a paper clip. (And maybe some help from the moon's gravitational pull.)

I would like to take this opportunity to say that, while I love The Simpsons (to the extent that I now spend too many hours on too many weeknights watching old episodes on FXX), I have never liked the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Am I alone in this? Have I just committed Simpsons apostasy?
