I was making the pedestrian argument that focusing on the spectacle of street violence while ignoring the violence committed with the stroke of the Trump's pen is rather self-serving on the part of the Trump-supporting right and the "reasonable" centrists who enable him. (This is especially true when you haven't…

Nah, he will just implement policies that will take away the health insurance of millions of people. That's so much more mature.

Him rectifying the situation would be preferable.

My favorite Beatle

Much better are Republicans, who want fewer people voting and actually implement policies that limit the ability of minorities and the young and the poor to vote. That is the type of integrity and leadership we need in Washington.

How many of the people who walked out of Amy Schumer's set criticizing Trump a few days ago also mock liberals for being hypersensitive and for taking jokes too seriously?

Saying "silence": so Godard!

Yoko was my favorite Beatle, so Revolution 9 is my favorite Beatles track.

Trebek always pronounces strange-sounding words in a French accent. Force of habit.

I guess these tests are meant to weed out contestants who wouldn't do well in the studio, but producers won't get an accurate assessment of a contestant's performance on filming day unless they add Alex's casual dickishness and over-enunciation of French words to the audio mix.

In the upcoming battle between Stannis Baratheon and Roose Bolton, I hope the two actors do not appear on screen together, because I cannot tell them apart if my life depended on it.

He was in the most highly-regarded television comedy of the last decade, no big deal.

That "word police" episode was also awful.

Drudge linked to it, so expect to find dross in the comments.

This episode, and her video clues, were filmed months ago. I think we would have noticed if one of the most photographed women on earth decided to buzz off her hair.

True. The most committed Christian among the directors of the films I listed was probably the gay Marxist who made films about eating poo.

What happened to the intelligent "spiritual" movie? The Passion of Joan of Arc, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Ordet, The Seventh Seal, The Flowers of St. Francis, Andrei Rublev, Winter Light: all are among my favorite movies and I'm a non-theist. Where are the equivalents today? Is there a market for them?

Anyone else surprised by Alex's mispronunciation of "Cannes", considering he is Canadian and how he condescendingly corrects a contestant when they say a French word incorrectly?

I know that Jeopardy is syndicated, but I did not even consider that it aired on anything else but ABC affiliates. What station does it air on in your area, guys? In the New York area, we have it on ABC.

1912, my friend. (I am a presidential politics nut. Sorry for giving you a hard time.)
