How was Stabler not on the "characters who should have been fired" list? He'd have soooo many brutality claims against him, misconduct charges out the ass…

No, neither it nor The Nation are hard-left. They are left-liberal if you're charitable. "Progressive" if you're into meaningless words. But hard-left? The Nation endorsed Obama in 2012, for crying out loud. I don't blame the author, as confusing these distinctions really seem to be an American pastime, but I lost…

I'd agree, but also submit the Upright Citizens Brigade series had a touch of this, within seasons. The Titte Brothers, Supercool, Thunderball being reference points and culminating with the respective season finales.

Saw him tonight in Lawrence. Do not miss him if you have the chance. Beautiful night.

I see zero problem in being down with Boots and dancing to Kanye. Just put them both in their proper context and enjoy each. If you don't like the beats or flow of either, fine, no need to wish an indecent life on anyone for that reason.

Many on the Left have been complaining about corporate personhood for years. Citizens United has merely brought the issue to larger attention and into sharper focus.

Ha, good point. I did say "seem" though, and standards not enforced may as well not exist, right?

Great point. It's really a fine line, I know. Like a lot of things of this nature, no standards seem to exist, so extremes are the norm.

As always, funny as hell O'Neal, but gotta call foul on the underlying premises of the jokes (not of course accusing you of buying them, just mining them). Internships do seem to be only about "grunt work" these days, like making coffee and copies, not actually learning about the craft or gaining skills that might…

NOOOOOO SPRINGS

He's black!?

Watched a few minutes of the doc and realized it was well-covered ground for me, but since you brought them up first in Stray Obs, I did want to ask if they mentioned Cofer Black's king-hell quote, "When we're through with them they will have flies walking across their eyeballs." And that became his nickname. "The…

For sure, dude is pulling down Gargamel money, after all.

Was I watching a different show, or was there a character-centered flashback/forward/sideways on just about every episode of Lost?

My dad took my friends and I to Do America as well, and to this day when something about cavity searches comes up (on the news, pervs) he'll smile and say "deep, and hard."

When that time was over, the time when Morrison was on the X-Men, Casey on Uncanny, and Milligan and Allred were on X-Force/Statix, I stopped reading funny books. Rug pulled out from under me one too many times. They were actually pushing further in those books than they had in years, and then kicked 'em all to the…

I can't recall, does Pembleton even draw his weapon? Thought he just talked about it.
