Oh God. When he does shuffle off, flags are going to be at half-staff for a month as the nation officially mourns. If they did it for Nixon, they'll do it for Trump.

"Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments."

And John Wilkes Booth outside of Ford's Theater? He did more for the Southern cause than Robert E. Lee!

No clue about Hillary Swank. Hopefully, it was something halfway decent.
Let's see…The Anniversary Party (with their real kids, as I recall)…an obscure mid-90s movie called Princess Caraboo, and I don't remember the third one, which means it was a huge, well-known hit which I should know instead of the two obscure…

Yeah, Gene Kelly was the Democratic Senate nominee for Texas against Kay Bailey Hutchison back in 2000. The guy did not do any campaigning at all. I voted for Hutchison, because at the time I was still a Republican (yes, I also voted for W. I corrected that mistake in 2004). But to be honest, knowing what I know…

Despite being a never-Trump Republican, a friend of mine couldn't understand the "faux" outrage that his late condemnation of hate groups inspired, saying that the president's initial response seemed fine to him because "some of the counterprotesters also engaged in violence".

I have a getaway driver and a teenage girl who learned to dance and won't get stuck in a corner who want to speak to you.

Not to mention "trying different things" with "smokin' funny things". He's a regular Shakespeare.

So you people spend 50 years on a waiting list for the right to sit outside in the middle of winter in a city where I think the all-time record high is about -20, while wearing giant foam cheese on your head. Thanks, but I'll take JerryWorld.

She's not just pro-choice, she's the head of Planned Parenthood. To a lot of voters in this state, that might be worse then if she was a Nazi.

We're in the same congressional district! I only moved to this district a couple months ago (from Kenny Marchant's district), and had deliberately avoided learning anything about my new reps in Austin and DC because I didn't want to get depressed. Good to know that I actually traded down from Marchant.

As it turns out, both Dan Patricks use stage names. The non-shitstain Patrick's full name is Daniel Patrick Pugh.

Cruz is probably the third-most-endangered Senate Republican next year, if only because he's such a spectacular ass that he has alienated a number of Republican voters who would gladly vote for nearly any other GOP name on the ballot. If next year's blue wave is truly huge, it might be enough to swamp him. In…

I'd put Abbot and Perry well down the list of awful Texas politicians, which is less about them and more about what awful, awful politicians we have in this state.

Outside of purpleish Fort Worth, all the big cities in the state are blue and getting bluer. The suburbs around DFW, Houston, and Austin are red, but slowly turning purple. The problem is that most of the mid-to-small cities, i.e. your Tylers, your Lubbocks, your Odessas, are red and staying red (the exceptions are…

I'm surprised that Cruz has attracted a solid Democratic opponent in Congressman Beto O'Rourke. But Cruz isn't particularly popular since his combative, "everyone but me is a RINO" style has alienated a lot of Republican voters. I suspect that Cruz will win re-election, but by a considerably narrower margin that the…

Nope, though the guy used to be the sports anchor for a station in Houston. He then became a Rush Limbaugh wannabe on Houston radio, then somehow got himself elected to the Texas Senate, and then got himself elected lieutenant governor. Now, he's standing up for the exactly zero women who have been sexually…

Disney XD is showing the one-hour pilot 24 times in a row, so there will be plenty of chances for kids to catch it at a more appropriate hour.

Mockingbird Lane was ambitious and had potential, but the pilot was never able to settle on a tone, which makes sense since Fuller et al were trying to do a gritty reboot of a supremely goofy comedy. I'm guessing Meyers's take will be much more comedic, so probably no dinner guests dying, no neighbors enslaved, and…

It also helps that, of the leads, NPH is far and away the best actor. I'm not positive that, even if Casper Van Dien or Denise Richards was in on the joke, that they would have the ability to deliver a different performance.
