I do: the human race.

I was going to say the kitty from Inside Llewyn Davis, but that was technically a 2013 performance, I guess. Still, a cat who will sit still in your arms as you ride the subway? That's a helluva cat.

I came to pretty much the same conclusion after an Objectivist ex-girlfriend saddled me with a third cat who didn't really get along with the other two (and took forever to warm up to me, even). My oldest succumbed to complications from diabetes about a year ago, and although I miss her every day, a 2-cat household…

I buy my cats the fancy-schmancy Dick Van Patten cat food (yes, really) which requires a trip to PetCo once a month. I have to walk past a gauntlet of kittens up for adoption every time, and it's a struggle not to bring one home. (But with two cats in the house already, if another one moved in, somebody would have…

I'm not too fond of the rockabilly haircut or the stevedore tool/weapon either, but the writing of the comic is good enough that I've mostly been able to overlook it.

I'll stick up for Ben McKenzie, too. I'm getting a kind of Colin Ferguson/Sheriff Carter from Eureka vibe off of him, if you drained all the quirky fun out of that show and replaced it with campy shock/horror. I think the material is failing him rather than vice-versa, in other words.

Those are all solid picks on his playlist. He even identifies the best White Lion song ever written, although admittedly that's not a photo finish or anything. And "Cumin' Atcha Live" is a stone classic.

It disappoints me, too. I tune into The Daily Show to laugh, not to see veterans or 9/11 firefighters granted dignity. When a comedy show has to devote six minutes to earnestly shaming our political system into delivering justice for an injured party, our time has been doubly wasted: by denying the justice in the…

John Dickerson over at Slate is a gigantic buzzkill whom I have long suspected is no fan of the Democratic Party. But he's a sharp reporter and he knows his stuff.

I'd kind of like to see the show adopt more of a Today Show vibe with Jones and Bee as co-hosts (I agree that CC is probably not ready to take control of the flagship away from Whitey just yet) with the joke being that they're married but secretly loathe each other, as they often do in segments they both appear in.

Precisely. But once you've changed her to some random lady from Braavos, it frees you up to just go nuts with the shocking horror.

SPOILERS ABOUND!

"I geddawf on the vialens." Garry Marshall's bank robber plot was a little slack, but anything that results in a line delivery like that gets a pass.

Two icebreakers that always work for me are: 1) laughing at a joke someone just told, even if you weren't the person they told it to and 2) answering a factual question someone asked, if the person they asked doesn't know the answer. People also tend to warm up when answering open-ended questions about themselves…

It's also a good idea to keep in mind that the things people put in their dating profiles are things they want you to know. Don't assume that a person who portrays themselves as a believing Christian is going to turn out to be one of those "Christmas And Easter Mass, Just For Mom" types whose beliefs and traditions…

The advice that they gave other seekers, basically to "put yourself out there" and seek out groups of people you have something in common with, applies to your situation as well. It's harder to attract partners when you don't feel desirable (I speak from ongoing experience), but a good first step is feeling…

True for most of us, I would imagine. (Well, not mine.)

That's still my favorite single moment of the show, although the competition is so stiff that the distinction is measured in microns.

It's a good place for physical comedy to happen, though.

In the '90s, we were more confident about our midriffs. And we needed to share them with the world.
