He can't, he's got bad knees now.

No, there's a telling lack of the word "pudding."

He Cares A Lot.

Eat. My. Shorts.

Greta Van Susteren is reportedly a Democrat. Her husband used to be a crusading liberal lawyer, although more recently he's reportedly been an adviser to Sarah Palin.

College radio was the exact parallel I was thinking of. I love listening to the variety of music on student-run radio stations, but most of the DJs are so awful. And it's not that they don't have booming voices or smooth commentary. It's that they usually sound either stoned or too-cool-to-care, and they mumble so

Jeff Probst also got his first national exposure on fX.

They'll have Triumph on standby for that contingency.

Yeah, that Spin oral history makes it sound like the people who created M2 thought they could succeed by just doing anything MTV wasn't doing and… well, that was pretty much the entire plan. Early MTV wasn't slapdash… it was very carefully curated by the music side, and carefully marketed by the creative side. Fred

When the time came for Barack Obama to be portrayed in a movie, I just always assumed it would be Scott Lawrence. Every time I see him on screen, I immediately think Obama. Kind of like when they made The Late Shift, I was like, I have no idea who'll play Leno and Letterman, but obviously Aaron Lustig will be Paul

Somehow they were able to swap the shares back to Time Warner in exchange for ownership of the Braves

And an allusion to the debt that's crushing all our lives!

Ted Turner hasn't owned the team (or the company with his name on it, for that matter) in many years.

Just like they get [random celebrity] to be the anonymous voice in their ads so they have an excuse to say they talked to that person, and maybe can get them to show up at a shareholders meeting.

I'd much prefer to watch Dwayne Johnson vs. Tommy Lee Jones.

I believe he's the brother of St. Louis Cardinals mascot Fredbird.

Please recall that said person was educated in Kentucky.
