It just takes a while! We hated Ailes for a long time, and he just went down! Don't ruin this for us!

So it works? Good to know that all of my teeth-grinding rage these last several months won't be in vain.

"Trump Team Knew Flynn Was Under Investigation Before He Came to White House"

I couldn't really figure out the ending of Birdman, and I was rather indifferent about the movie as a whole (although the one-long-take style was interesting). But I did think there was something captivating about the look on Emma Stone's face — and her eyes in particular — in that final scene, which is conveniently…

Nontana.

I think I got the gist of the first clause of the first sentence.

I may be very late to the party here, but I stumbled upon the movie Easy A (which I've never seen) on TV over the weekend, and at one point Emma Stone says something like, "If there's one thing worse than chlamydia, it's Florida." That line — helped quite a bit by Stone's delivery — cracked me up.

Iowa GOP Rep. Rod Blum, a Freedom Caucus member, had a rough day, walking out of an interview after a couple of fairly innocuous questions, and then into a town hall where his constituents booed him lustily. He expressed unhappiness that the AHCA wasn't a full "repeal and replace" of Obamacare; he admitted the process…

It's a Green Bay Packers shirt. I, Paul Ryan, am a regular guy, just like you. I find it highly enjoyable to watch the football at Lambeau Field. Why, when one of the Packers reaches the end zone, very often the same Packer will jump above the height of the barrier that surrounds the field and allow himself to be…

It reminded me of the 30 Rock (the 100th episode, I believe) when Pete says some similarly garbled nonsense to Dr. Spaceman after a gas leak in the building (which itself was a reference to some real-life TV reporter who had a stroke on air).

Sure. Her name is Seema Verma. Trump appointed her to head CMS, which is an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. (Thus, she's under Tom Price. She also used to work with Pence in Indiana.) So she's been an advocate for the AHCA. She was there in the Rose Garden the other day, celebrating with all…

I'm going to disagree. Again, while I know nothing about Tennessee law, separation of powers is not just a federal constitutional doctrine. The legislature does not have the power to tell the courts how to interpret laws. The legislature can define the terms in a particular law, but if there's a question about what…

With the caveat that I don't know what Tennessee law is in this area, this smells like a separation-of-powers problem. A legislature can define terms, but I don't think a legislature can tell the courts how to interpret laws. And what happens if a court does interpret a law in a way the legislature doesn't like? I…

I honestly don't know enough about Pai to know if he's just being a prude in this case, or if he's a right-wing ideologue. But my theory is that the douchebags are that way because they're desperate for acceptance. Still, they're the exception. On the whole, we're pretty kick-ass.

Hey, me too! Earlier today I was hating that I'm in the same ethnic group as the current administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. And I have long hated being in the same ethnic group as Dinesh D'Souza and Bobby Jindal, among others. But I console myself with the fact that most of us seem to be…

In his monologue on SNL right after the election, Chappelle talked about being at a BET party in the White House, and joked that Cooper was the only white person there. So maybe they're tight?

You're right (although I'm confident that won't happen with my employer).

Nor is it care.

This is certainly not the most important aspect of all this, but I do think allowing insurers to once again gouge people with pre-existing conditions will have a negative effect on worker movement. I hate my job, but I get my health insurance through it, and I have two separate chronic conditions, so I can't quit…

It might also be a government-directed indoctrination program. There are reports today that, at least at one location within the FDA, authorities on high have directed TVs to show Fox News. (I heard a while back that this was also happening at another agency, but I don't know if that was directed by anyone, or if it's…
