Well, Red Dawn only focuses on the lives of Americans during WWIII, and it's only in the backstory that you learn about the geo-political forces affecting the conflict.

Glad to see more Red Storm Rising fans on AV Club - they should totally do a book club about that!

Say what you want about how crazy all the Clancy plotlines are (a suicidal 747 crash into the capitol building on state of the union speech night, a china-japan-india-iran quadliance (is that a word?) to subvert America, a nuclear weapon exploding at the super bowl, to name a few) but the financial writing and…

No cunt leaves till we find out which cunt did it!

It will also feature good guys in support and protagonist roles who went to Catholic school and attended Jesuit colleges who then went on to lead the FBI against terrorists.

If he can teach a class … then HE can teach a class.

Agree to disagree indeed. I don't often watch comedys that feature couples - in fact, HIMYM is probably the first show I've regularly watched in a long time that did a "couples" episode … the only one I can think of is the "World's Collide" Seinfeld episode, and that's not even really applicable here, since George…

I even pointed it out very exuberantly to my fiance: "Did you see Lilly's neckline!?" :)

I wanted Marshall and Lilly to have an awkward situation with the hawaiian couple - like if the Hawaiian couple would start acting like they wanted to swing with M&L. That would have been hizillarious.

Has anyone ever actually had hate sex? I think it's a myth invented by liberals.

What is it about the term "on notice" for professional dissatisfaction? I first heard it in college when I worked at a large drug store chain (that's the last warning a store manager at this chain would get before he was demoted back to an assistant), but I've heard it in other places too, and now Roger said it and I…

Don didn't do a very good job of handling Connie, and I can kind of see why Connie (in his supremo-arrogant, I-actually-am-the-king-of-the-mountain-and-everything-I-see, state of mind) lashed back at his prodigal son. Connie emphasized the moon hotel at the end of their conversation, which is usually where you find…

Ain't no way Sal is out of a job because he's gay. As someone else mentioned, the Euro-queer is still employed and he came out voluntarily.

"'Best if used before 1959?' Dammit Bob … there were plenty of new bombs but you just had to go for that retro-50s charm!"

@ urtext, dark passenger side airbag:

What is it about the high-end grocery stores in Texas that brings out the fake boobs? When I lived in Dallas, going to Whole Foods or Super Target (well … that's not really high end, but everyone goes there and it is more upscale than Wal-Mart to most people) meant seeing a parade of overtanned brunettes with fake…

Big D doesn't have too many big-hairs no more, but they have plenty of wealthy, large-chested ladies.

Everybody knows
That Maggie shot Mr. Burns.

It was a baby roasting on the spit. Blackened. Run!

Now, this one don't have fancy games like blackjack like them other casinos, Clark.
