By mere seconds, Fan Club! Nicely done. Good thing we're dealing with small stakes.

Eh, I got nuffin.

Long time ago
"a strange holdover rule from back when religion played a strong part in government… oh, those times were so long ago."

Seems to be a little too neat of an answer to be believable.

I was wondering what Universal bought. Surely the word Asteroids is not owned by Atari and since there didn't seem to be much of a story in the game there didn't seem much of anything for Universal to buy. Maybe the story in the instructions booklet is a real page turner.

lala.com you can listen to the EP once for free.

Heh! Make some room then. White Stripes? Hold Steady? Animal Collective? Interpol?

Spoon best American band

You know Wu, before the show ended I was saving my pennies to buy the eventual "Complete Deadwood" boxset. I saw myself rewatching this stuff like crazy.

Not to mention the "Disperse this riotous assembly!" scene in Season 2.

phodreaw, I think American civilians have softened since the Wild West. By and large. However, American exceptionalism, as you correctly point out, does mask American brutality right now, it's just that this time it's mostly the government doing it. I suppose the government is still "us" but it's not as hands on or…

or a gap-toothed Elijah Wood.

What about orphaned kittens?
