I cannot imagine the president either knowing or caring about such an association. Mostly knowing.

He'd see it all.

Yeah, I was 7 years old in '96 with mainstream Democrats for parents. I created a little comic book where Clinton was a superhero and Dole was his arch-nemesis. Now I'm even more leftwing, but reflecting on my childhood political shallowness makes me think about how I want to treat politics with any children I might…

Paragon.

KRISTEN SCHAAL IS A HORSE!

I think the Daily Show is impressively close to Daily. Comedy Central produces 5880 minutes of comedy per year (2 shows, 4 days a week, 35 weeks) that are consistently funnier than most things that are on for 504 minutes per year (once a week, 24 weeks). That's like 10 times the amount of funny!

Yeah, but she wasn't from a serious party. One Nation had, like one senator, once, in the 90s. The suppositories thing was like if Boehner had said it.

Well, we had Ventura, but other than that pretty much everyone has been either D or R on both the state and federal levels since the Farmer-Labor Party merged with the Democrats.

Also, I believe that her district actually borders that of Keith Ellison - a very progressive congressman, who happens also to be Muslim. Hooray for gerrymandering!

Well, you jest, but Alice Guy-Blaché (which is how it's spelt, AVClub!) actually is up there.

Yeah, The Economist has really benefited by being the only good newsweekly. Because of its quality and (let's be honest) its caché, the others couldn't compete and decided to make themselves Un-Economists instead.

Obama wants everyone to go to eight grade; what a snob!

@amarynth I don't think Owen himself went Tory, though some of his followers did; he just never joined up with the Lib Dems, and then got to be all crossbenchy in his ermine coat.

Lol, Churchill for one. Churchill was actually elected as a Conservative and crossed to the Liberals four years later; then twenty years later he crossed back to the Conservatives.

Pharoah's impression is better but, race aside, Armisen resembles Obama more. That is to say, I am ambivalent about this decision.
