Is Gretchen Carlson still there? Between all of the Ailes sexual harassment and a lifetime of not giving a shit about any of these people I've lost track.

They're not substantive; they're just reflexively contrarian. Now that the president is a Republican, they're against Republicans.

That's how I get Midol to talk!

As a kid, I had no idea that Happy Days was made roughly equidistant from the time it depicted as from the time when I was watching it. I guess I thought it was legit from the '50s.

I think the GOP blew their load on that one already. The last guy they did that to (a centrist Democrat) has a really high approval rating, and Sanders is the most liked politician in the country.

I mean, as someone who can be pretty socially anxious, I find that board games are a nice way to socialize—you've got a built in topic of conversation that you can always come back to anchor the whole thing!

My comments are all above average.

Did you see his bizarre use of punctuation and spelling on the new album? It's either drugs or Satanism, and neither one is going to get him back to Prairie Home Companion any time soon!
