I've had this discussion before, but isn't camouflage basically useless as part of the uniform? You're not going to go unseen just because you have a pattern on instead of a solid color. And don't get me started on that pixelly bullshit.

The Padres do that every Sunday, with the Navy being in town and all. I've always found it vaguely disrespectful. In many countries it's downright illegal to wear camouflage if you're not in the military; in others with conscription nobody would be caught dead in anything resembling military wear unless they didn't…

They definitely do the English Civil War. Out here we do the Mexican-American War, which is interesting, because whoever won that one, California lost.

My cousin on Facebook tried turning Memorial Day into an extremely pissy declaration that all US Troop deaths have been in vain because Donald Trump is President, and the rest of her family patting her on the back for her bravery in saying so. She is an adult with an advanced degree. It was not classy. I think later…

I can't wait until June 14 in California, when people suddenly develop a renewed interest in Independence Day while coinciding with Flag Day.

Bush did not believe in Reaganomics. He didn't believe in it because it was something to be believed in– i.e. not grounded. He was right.

It's getting re-released in Los Angeles. Like, in real theaters that people actually go to.

I'm still mad about the presence of Black Knight.

Just make sure to avoid anyone too dark-skinned, because that's a thing in these.

It's certainly made me feel obliged to review them.

Ferrets are super illegal in California. They had a Very Special Episode of 7th Heaven about it, and it was treated just as seriously as drugs or teen pregnancy.

It'll completely terrible until Ben Falcone shows up, but then it'll be too late?

This is a city that where there's a wartime-level labor shortage because nobody within commuting distance can afford to live there who would work new service-sector jobs, and that's because more than half the residential real estate in the city is bought up as second homes and inkwells for foreign investors, creating…

Or nurtured as glorious bastions of poverty and by extent authenticity, as Marx would have wanted.

Foreign assistance to combat AIDS? You could count that.

Would that he had beaten Reagan in the 1980 primary. We'd be living in a different America.

Indiana is famous in the rest of the country for still giving pot dealers life without parole.
