Yeah, I don't think I can sleep that night until it's over.

Pfft, we don't even pretend to rehabilitate them anymore in most cases.

I don't recall Berlusconi threatening to jail his opponents. Or undermining the legitimacy of Italian democracy itself. Did I miss something?

Cable really is too expensive. I thought we were getting screwed by Comcast, and then we moved to an area where our choices are Fios and Cox, and it's even worse. And that's just for the dirt cheap "basic" package that doesn't have anything good in it.

I think he's great in The Man Who Wasn't There, for similar reasons.

Yes, and also all of the legwork proving that his foundation is a sham that has led to it being investigated by the NY AG.

David Fahrenthold's reporting for the Washington Post about Trump has done a lot to sink his candidacy.

Mary Star of the Sea is legitimately one of my favorite songs Billy Corgan ever wrote… if you can wait through "Jesus, I" to get there.

I don't know. I'm told that was neither a party, nor a disco. This could be both.

I am pretty forgiving of late-season Simpsons episodes, which are basically comfort food for me, but I think I got maybe two actual laughs and a few more "heh"s out of this entire episode. Not a particularly good one. Would it have been funnier if I'd seen the Hunger Games movies?

John Oliver's observation that two weeks ago we were beneath rock bottom, and that a week later you could maybe barely make out where we were the week before above the clouds, struck me as horrifyingly accurate.

Jordan Klepper is the only correspondent on present-day Daily Show who seems to have Colbert-esque chops. He's not Colbert, nobody is, but he's good.

I, for one, have a job application out for a position in New Zealand.

I will go to bat for "Everything You Want." The riff was pretty cool, and the song was solid melodic pop-rock (other than the lyrical "twist" where he switches to first person because he's really been talking about himself in the third person the whole time!) "You're a God" is pretty bad, though.

I rouxed the day. I got a tasty gumbo out of the whole thing.

Seamonsters is great. I saw them when they were touring on the reissue of that, I think. Actually met David Gedge through a friend whose band has done some UK shows with them. I have no memory of the interaction though. Such a cool story, I know.

The polls have been so inconsistent and volatile this year that I'm not necessarily convinced they should be trusted. We'll see I guess.

Or, like Oliver says, we'll just Gitmo North somewhere else.

What is this "going to"? Have you seen the Morning Consult poll out today where many of the Republican respondents are basically not bothered by any of this, and some actually like it?
