I've been to one thing that could, if we stretch the definition, be called a music festival—the Blockbuster Rockfest at Texas Motor Speedway in June 1997. I was a big No Doubt fan at the time, but when the hot, sunburned, tired of paying $3 for bottles of water friends decided to leave mid-afternoon, well before No

Tony Cox was good in Bad Santa (and was also in Bad Santa 2, which I didn't see). I'm sure he's been in other stuff.

I don't think it's strange to believe there is life on other planets. The universe is a vast place with probably trillions upon trillions of planets, and the odds that we are the single sole planet in the entire cosmos that has life is staggeringly small. That said, the odds that the government is hiding evidence of

I would have slept in, since I rarely get to do so, but a 7-year-old who normally sleeps till 10 or 11 if he doesn't have to be up decided to get up at 8:30 this morning.

I'll go with Jerry Stiller's Becky, which became so iconic that they reshot the one scene that had John Randolph as Becky for syndication.

The Cosby Show will likely be the one successful 80s/90s series that is pretty much guaranteed not to get revived.

Which is why I'd be OK with them saying the entire lottery season—including all the last second revelations—was just a dream, and the last "real" episode was the Season 8 finale.

I'm guessing what he did involved puppets and/or full frontal nudity.

Even most of the bad movies he did before then made sense (We're No Angels had Sean Penn and was directed by Neil Jordan, Stanley & Iris had Jane Fonda, Frankenstein was directed by Kenneth Branagh).

Throw in Kevin Costner and Rene Russo and we'll have the Tin Cup reunion that I've been clamoring for (seriously, I'm not a golf fan nor a Kevin Costner fan, but I love that movie).

The War With Grandpa will be his 51st(!!!!) film of the last 20 years. I count 14 of them as being worth his and my time, with three of them being his trio of films from 1997—Copland, Jackie Brown, and Wag the Dog, and three others being his Russell-Lawrence-Cooper trilogy. So, since 1998, he's been in 8 good movies

Plus, Bad Gramdpa got an Oscar nomination!

I'll wait for Pacino and Chong.

The latest figures? Didn't we know the final numbers by late November at the latest? And he is aware that, as big as Wyoming and Montana and Idaho and the Dakotas are, there are far fewer people in those states combined than there are in Cook County, Illinois. And grass doesn't vote.

Slate is being generous. I'd call him the F minus minus minus Student-in-Chief.

Jason Chaffetz before the election: We have evidence that Hillary miscrossed the T in her last name on a check she wrote to the dry cleaners in 1986! Clearly, that's worthy of an extensive investigation and possible impeachment charges!

Lucky for him, that kid has lots of sycophantic friends who will act like he just won Olympic gold after his bellyflop.

Those pictures of him behind that wheel of that truck made him look exactly like a 7-year-old who has never before gotten to sit in the driver's seat.

Dubya is looking like Lincoln—or at least Eisenhower—compared to Comrade President.

I find it kind of interesting that this is a drama (I'm assuming—I haven't actually watched it yet), but episodes are only half an hour. Outside of shows that were designed to run 5 days a week (In Treatment, daytime soaps), this maybe the first American half-hour drama since Adam-12 in 1975.
