Yep. Someone with a speech impediment and a lazy eye and dandruff. Fox News really is like professional wrestling in the way they cast their "villains".

IOKIYAR- "It's okay if you're a Republican" is a true shitty thing in our society and political discourse, a zombie idea that's been around since Reagan 1980. Because, Carter was a flaming hippie or something, our media has contorted itself to accommodate the most extreme Republican position on anything. Even if…

"Film at eleven" is such a funny news phrase to think about now. Someone filming something somewhere films something, and the footage is expressed rushed to New York or wherever, and they develop the film in a chemical bath, and then make sure it's dry before they rush it to the newsroom, where it's edited in the…

Marty, it's 2017, and if you want to get on bended knee with a ring to propose to Leo, no one would judge you. We'd all be waving dainty hankies at the emotion of it all.

I stroked the Space:1999 ship in a toy store, I couldn't afford to buy it. It was cool though.

I just read the part where you blamed the Democrats for gerrymandering, but probably you weren't saying that. Yeah, fuck it, I should have stopped there..

Well, I am not assuming anything. I was idly blabbing about in the here and now of Summer 2017, Trump is so incompetent and awful that I see all this bullshit revisionism that makes W look better in comparison, and I rather hate that. Because after 9/11 , the whole world had our back in love and sympathy . …

They are kind, and I love them. Horses have constantly done us great favors. They really are noble and loyal and beautiful. I am just unsold on the idea that they're smart. Horses are really dumb, with tiny brains, which is why we as a species have controlled them. I really have never heard anything indicating…

Did a deep dive with drinks into the life and work of the incomparable B-52s.

I want to see more space-parliamentary discussions about galactic trade treaties and the like. Gripping stuff.

I can't prove anything but I would guess there were adults without children at the theater.

Remember Maya, the exotic shape-shifter with the funky dotted eyebrows? She was intriguing. I loved the show too, though for kid me I remember it was a bit serious and often dark.

Related? I'm sorry the obit didn't mention Space:1999. First thing I knew him from as a kid. Had some groovy trippy bits to it.

Horses aren't that smart. If they were, why would they let jerks like us ride them and tell them what to do?

Watched A Little Romance (1979) on TCM tonight. Was charmed. Diane Lane (her first film) is a bookish private school girl in Paris, she meets a poor-ish French boy who loves old American movies (played winningly by Thelonious Bernard, who never acted again and is now a dentist in France I read.) They have rather…

Nixon didn't do that, the Democratic controlled House and Senate did that, he just signed it. Nixon was a far better President than W or god help us Trump,if you don't count hundreds of thousands of people dead by his hand in Vietnam and Cambodia, but there's a lot of revisionist thinking going on. Like, "Nixon…

There's a huge amount of people on the left who are really fucking invested in the idea that Hillary has only herself to blame for her hairsplit loss. 78,000 votes. That it's her personal flaws, and that she's a rotten compromised human being. That the Democratic Party should just throw in the towel. No…

A large amount of his support came from independent progressives who are barred from voting in closed primary states.

Sounds kicky, and worth a gawk. Lately all I've heard about it is gushing posts about how incandescently and utterly amazing Rihanna is in it, how staggeringly hard she worked making this, not all of them mentioning that she appears for something like ten minutes. Eh, could be cool.

Yeah. He came off well. And the whole project of self-examination, what it means to grow up in wealth, sort of speaks well of him and his intentions. That was his dad he was talking to, being artistic with oil and canvas and not giving many fucks it seems. See, that's what's most valuable in being rich, I have…
