Comparing Bush after-the-presidency with Trump before-the-presidency isn't really fair. Trump hasn't had a chance to fuck things up on the scale that Bush was operating. If you instead compare Bush while he was campaigning to the current GOP crop, he starts to look positively sexy. Trust me, if one of these guys

Team Black Tar Heroin FTW

I just wanted to agree wholeheartedly with Alasdair; Paul Blackthorne is this show's secret weapon. He manages to seem real in one of the least "real" worlds on television.

I notice that the title of the article refuses to refer to him by his handle "Rage." I think that's AVC sneaking in their own commentary on this dude.

Close…Kesha isn't really a singer, she's a person made out of glitter.

Clickhole is often excellent, but Starwipe…I'm starting to actively dislike that site. And it's not like it's on my rotation; I just sometimes follow the links from here.

Uncle Ted has always been cool, even before we knew he wrote "Walking on the Sun."

I don't know about "great" (a word I reserve for special occasions), but I really enjoyed SLC Punk. I think it gets a bad rap because of Lillard's reputation, but I loved him in that movie (along with his co-star). Sure, the characters are a bit cliched, but that's kind of the point - they had some growing up to do.

I agree completely with pretty much all criticisms about Abbie's death. Abbie and Crane's chemistry has been the only thing that has kept me coming back to this show. I was completely ready for them to become romantically involved. Why so many weird head-fakes at a romance for Abbie, be it with Crane or Reynolds?

They all argued over who would be called Malfunctioning Eddie for hours, till Q noticed that it was already taken…yeah, it was pretty funny.

It's hard to be nostalgic about Blockbuster, though, when Blockbuster stepped all over my mom-and-pop video store nostalgia. Remember the days when each store had its own random mix of popular movies with WTF-is-thats? Each one had its own weird inventory system, where you'd bring a ticket or velcroed tag or the

What people are unknowingly reacting to, with a lot of popular music, is context. This song is not actually bad. The problem is that it doesn't deserve to be something that becomes completely unavoidable in America for months on end (and possibly for decades to come, at weddings). But if your uncle had a hobby to

This article didn't mention Hurlyburly. Shandling was pretty damn good in that, if I recall. The role definitely played to his strengths.

Fine: American Murder Log it is.

Typical turtle propaganda

Dammit, you're right! I'm going to say that was just due to a tropical storm. OK, they're not native? It's getting embarrassing making all these retractions.

Actually, I have to correct my assertion. I just checked, and there is a small distribution of croc species in Central America. But if we're talking about America as in the US, it's all about the alligators.

American Murder Log is definitely an alligator. Crocs aren't American,

"The only way to justify a more complacent lifestyle, it is imperative that we look for those areas where we could consider ourselves cultural martyrs. This way, we can convince ourselves that we are, in fact, living defiantly and courageously, as Jesus commanded us to."

She should have thanked you for giving her exactly what she was asking for in the article. Did she enjoy her sense of persecution?
