I think you got Borowitzed.

Decisions have been overturned before (e.g., Brown v. Board of Education overturned Plessy v. Ferguson). There would have to be an actual law at issue, though - they could not overturn it without a case.

I feel pretty confident that while he may have played along, he resembled many of us in having no idea what the joke was supposed to be.

I remember "The dinosaurs went extinct and India crashed into Asia and formed the Himalayas. Was it 65,000,001 B.C., 65,000,000 B.C., or 64,999,999 B.C.?" I think DeGeneres was the narrator of those, so it must have been early in the Stewart era, but certainly it was the same ethos as the Kilborn era.

He also had a botched surgery that affected his health for a while, although I don't know if that was directly connected to the hiatus in his career.

Buckingham the town and Buckinghamshire the county existed long before the palace.

Actually, I think if either of those things (good or bad) was going to happen, it would have already by now. She has been a has-been for almost a decade, and I think she has a few more decades of that to look forward (?) to.

I meant neither - I meant is it documented that he worked behind the scenes to ruin her career (whether that was the only reason it failed or not).

Maybe she was robotic because she was working for a man she was afraid of? (I do, however, agree with you about "How much power did Hitchcock have when was his own career was on the decline?" Is that part of the story well-documented?)

Wasn't Marnie originally supposed to star Grace Kelly, but her husband would not let her return to acting? No conclusions should be reached from that, but it is interesting if he was supposedly obsessed with Hedren.

I think it means that Franken (although long-gone from the regular writing staff) submitted an anti-McCain sketch that the show declined to use, then never complained to Fey about this but did complain about it on Larry King. The later reference to "Franken-y habits" when Fey herself bothers the current writers was…

From an outsider perspective, his leaving and coming back and winning the championship was definitely a cooler story than if he had stayed all along. I understand if Clevelanders feel differently.

The Cubs were arguably the best team in baseball from 1876 through 1908. Since that time (and especially since 1945) I think they have been pretty even with the Phillies. The White Sox must rank down there also among the older teams, and some of the expansion franchises have never been very good.

It is a good song. So is "Fortunate Son." So is "White Rabbit." So is "Purple Haze." But they have been run into the ground.

Would ordinary people so soon after the event really have just called it "Altamont" as a one-word signifier, as opposed to some lengthy description such as "that terrible murder that happened at the Rolling Stones concert?"

There is bad dialogue and then there is bad dialogue. This sounds like the latter.

I have vague memories of a Final Jeopardy controversy along these lines from several years ago, I think at that time the woman who wrote only the letter was ruled wrong, but perhaps was later allowed back on the show after the judges reconsidered (as sometimes-albeit-rarely happens).

I was so pleased with myself for 1) knowing the song immediately and 2) knowing the title was not "Ground Control to Major Tom" that not until after the reveal did I realize I had called it "Space Odyssey." If I had actually had to write it down and stare at it for thirty seconds, I hope I would have realized my…

And Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, chronicling Norm's epic journey to the final question. That was also from the real people for sure.

This show had no relation to the charts, though - if anything, the older the video, the better.
