Oh, it's that guy whose Twitter picture I occasionally see and briefly think it's Dayton Callie.

I was really hoping they were going to let whatsername live in Cuba and I was glued to Elizabeth and Phillip's dialogue for any clues. Elizabeth's look as the van drove away kind of said it though.

Agree, agree, disagree, agree.

It looks like he typed this out instead of speaking it, which is a little ironic given the subject of using technology instead of speaking to people.

I like to think that I'd love it if I were successful enough that hundreds of people were making mean jokes about me. I suppose being a successful creative type requires a thin skin, though.

I know people who are 10 years younger than me and they're nowhere near as stupid as I was 10 years ago. Maybe I was actually very stupid then, at least emotionally.

At first I was wondering who Mark Claire was.

Totally. I don't think her performance in The Fighter was particularly great anyway. Silly Academy.

That Louie/Leo image is about a million times funnier if you don't know the context. With the context, it's still pretty funny.

Shoot it again. The plot is still dancing.

I wish I had read this as soon as it came out instead of at my own pace, because commenting here isn't very relevant now. Anyway, this article would have been a good place to mention Treme and David Simon's insistence that the show should be reviewed by season instead of by episode. It seems like this Netflix strategy

I just saw a preview for this on Newsreaders. I guess Dan Rather's role is smaller than they made it seem.

It seems like a show that airs after the Superb Owl would have one of the least accurate Nielsen numbers, because a whole lot of people are probably just leaving their TVs on and not particularly paying attention. I would wager that putting a show on after the game doesn't really help it a whole lot. The first episode

His real name is Mel Einstein.

There's so much about '80s politics that I only know from reading Bloom County.

Yes, I'm saying it's completely unrealistic for them to not realize it.

That can't be him, he doesn't have a bump on his forehead.

I think the "failure" ranking only exists to make the others seem more interesting. Occasionally Mr. Rabin remembers "failure" is an option and assigns that to something, but that doesn't happen much.

The joke about the white South African seems particularly badly written. You'd think anyone who's even pretending to care about Africa would know there are lots of white South Africans. Maybe this joke is less stupid in context.
