I could see it as Ben doing whatever it takes to keep himself away from Margene and using Bill as his excuse.

A bit. I like Ben. I really do. And no, I don't really want to see him shot. But he is being a little bitch about this whole thing. Yes, Bill was wrong but he was wrong, too, for playing the passive-aggressive gambit. Bill has begged the boy to come home. If nothing else, Ben should have the sense to know when…

Oh, I forgot: Thanks, Scott!
I'm rather flattered by your referencing my comment from last week and calling me "astute." Definitely an "aw, shucks" moment.

Hell, I defended Tony's killing of Christopher. I loved that guy.

Ben has compltely lost my sympathy
When Bill did not stop him from packing—not the same thing as banishing him—I felt bad for the kid. But now he's with Lois and FRANK? I hope the Green(e?)'s shoot the little bitch…

She has incredible legs.

The problem with these reviews isn't that they aren't sycophantic enough, it's that bad episodes regularly are better reviewed than good ones.

Ha! I save my most viciously misanthropic (who am I kidding? my most viciously misogynistic) stuff for Slate. I had a ball baiting people during the Elliot Spitzer and Tiger Woods debacles.

Exactly. Which is why sex should always begin with vigorous foreplay so that SHE comes first. That way, if she doesn't come from intercourse, she's not cheated when HE does.

So she broke up with a guy to be with a douchebag…
…who did not wish to be seen in public with her.

I don't care about that.

Haven't seen the article but I remember reading something else about polygamy: on average, it is better for women than for men. This according to Robert Wright, author of The Moral Animal and regular contributor to Slate. The logic is as follows: it is better to have a piece of a wealthy winner than all of a poor…

I, too, am inclined to cut Bill some slack, even vis-a-vis Ben. Sure, Bill should have told him to unpack when he walked in on him last week but agreeing with Ben's suggestion that Ben leave for a spell and then leaving message after message begging the boy to come home is not the same as exiling him. I like Ben but…

Damn right, momma. I love how no one does the math on polygamy: the more women one man accrues, the more men are gonna be left out and angry. No doubt, those who practice The Principle base their theology on the polygamy of the Old Testament kings, particularly David and Solomon, but what they conveniently forget is…

Fingers? This is Lisa Cuddy we're talking about. Any lovemaking session with her should begin with some serious face time with her nether parts.

Republicans? Won over by THAT speech?
A speech in which he says SOCIETY is responsible for the plight of the Lost Boys (well, they are lost white boys, so that adds to plausibility) and alludes to gay shit in his past? Only on tv…

Eternal Sunshine is that rarest of beasts, the black (hoo boy) romantic comedy. Clementine has some of the qualities of the mpdg but those qualities are stripped bare to their narcissistic, neurotic bones. She's not a true mpdg because those qualities are not presented as redemptive. Likewise, Joel is shown to be a…

Every brothel I've been to let me keep my pants.

Awww, shucks. I'm sorry, momma.

Nah, that guy wasn't gonna kill her. Indeed, he probably set her on the true path to her destiny as a child of the universe. Rejoice! For she is no doubt wiping off her chin as she darts between Mack cabs at a truck stop even as we speak.
