Leave it to Ted Cruz to write an amendment so vicious even insurance companies are balking at it.

Wow McCain must really be ill after all.

It's all part of them having to stack the deck in their favor to remain viable. Their policies are fairly radioactive to the population at large (see polling for their various health care bill proposals) yet they are beholden to their extremist base. They can't moderate, they can't win on battle of ideas alone, so…

Some Republican basically even said "we're not good at this governing thing" recently.

Even better, they still continue to push the "Russians also colluded with Hillary even worse" line even as they push the "there's nothing wrong with colluding with Russia" line. I haven't read down far enough, but lets see if one of the late-arriving trolls we usually get does just that!

Just turned five. As I was writing that above, my wife was in the other room yelling at him to just please eat SOMETHING for breakfast.

Our son has been such a challenge. He just arbitrarily picks shit he likes and doesn't and changes day to day. One day he will eat a heap of broccoli. Great! Something good for him he finally likes! You buy more broccoli and make it the exact same way and he will get mad that you even thought to serve it to him.

I was going to write a probably long paragraph going into the context of my kids and their different tastes but you summed it up so perfectly in one sentence.

The ones that stay open would, for sure.

It isn't. Our daughter ate calamari, ate sushi, fennel, all kinds of stuff when she was little. Then she just stopped and refused to eat any of those things anymore, even when we reminded her she used to love them. We've had to basically start all over with her and she's getting better but still has inexplicable…

Your second paragraph is exactly what I liked about it though. We've seen what the Apes can do in a fight in Dawn, no sense just repeating that again.

That's what I'm thinking too. Jump forward 20 years with those two as the mains and maybe even a full on Planet of the Apes remake.

I really enjoyed it, but there were some missteps the series had managed to avoid thus far. I'd place it the least of the three (Dawn being best) but it's still really good, and so far this is the best currently running American film franchise.

I've had a couple format change/kinja nightmares about this place the past couple months.

Yeah I've only seen maybe five minutes of one of them on cable before I turned it off in a rage.
I was yelling out loud at some of the ridiculous plot holes they mention and how inconsistent they are movie to movie. Like a character who got shot in the head in one movie shows up two movies later with no explanation.

We Hate Movies wrapped up their Transformers-athon by seeing Last Knight in theaters for their ep last week. It might be the best of the five. Hearing Eric steadily become more belligerent in his irritation with the series has been the highlight of the run. Also, fantastically on-point Max Von Sydow impersonations.

I only knew dill from being sprinkled over mushy steamed zucchini when I had it as a kid, so I only in the past few years realized how good it is.

" . . . He froze to death halfway home. His ice-encased corpse stands there still, never thawing, a reminder to all of the folly of penguin."

Ugh. That's also terrible. I genuinely LOL every time Mr. Incredible says it. It's a perfect play on words.

Bomb Voyage!
