Conservatives and Comedy: Like Oil and Blood
Really, thouugh… I'm not saying conservatives don't have senses of humor, but why doesn't it translate into something the rest of us would find amusing? Or at least recognize as some form of humor with a shelf life past the late 50s?

They're losing weight for the rest of 'Murika? They're Dieting for Our Sins?

Paul Verhoeven should direct it.
Just sayin'…

Anyone else have a problem…
… with whatever media player AV Club is using?

Too soon, man. Too soon.

I got the hell away from Mansfield before the penitentiary offered the tour, but the place is definitely a thing to check out in itself. A ghost tour just sounds like icing… it's the most medieval stack of bricks I've ever seen.

The Cleveland Indians. They always get sooo close… then fail. Then get sent back into the kitchen to prep for the Yankees celebratory bash.

Funny thing is that when I was travelin' Europe a couple of years ago, I could not escape the chick (videos and music, not her herself). Never had heard of her until I landed in Spain, and then from then on it was like I was being hounded by a virtual flight of Beyonce harpies until I got back on the plane to the…

Of course, Blockbuster started the trend… and I do get a kick that Netflix is crushing BB at their own game.

The downside of Netflix is that it *is* a true American phenomenon… a corporation that has pretty much made the neighborhood movie rental store go the way of the typewriter.

With the clout Raimi has these days…
… I'm a li'l surprised he's never tried to give this a second shot as his own superhero franchise. It's definitely more interesting than the Batman or Spider Man multiplex filler, at least in my book.
