Goddammit CW.

Well the upside is this may finally force Congress to pass an actual law addressing greenhouse gasses and climatAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Heh.
Okay, I think I needed that.

It was weird, given that the picture in the previous clue for a Dali mustache looked way more like a classic handlebar than Snidely's.

"Who are Kenan and Kel?"

That Brer Rabbit clue marked the second time in a week that Jeopardy! has referenced Song of the South (at least obliquely). Jeopardy! is, incidentally, not produced by Disney.

In an attempt to draw a more hip, progressive crowd, he's booked Elizabeth Warren the week. Unfortunately, she's planning to filibuster his show by reading a piece from "the A V Club dot com".

With two Brian K. Vaughn comics properties already in the TV pipeline, it's only so long before we see an Ex Machina adaption.

Not saying it was a bad play - bold betters tend to do well on Jeopardy!. I just seriously doubt I'd be able to bring myself to risk more than a few hundred in that situation, even if I was all but sure I'd get it right.

Also, got to say: that was one ballsy FJ bet. $4,400 is a crazy amount to bet on a runaway, even on a fairly easy category.

"…who is Tony?"

One of the contestants responded to a clue about cuckoo clocks with "what is a glockenspeil?" This seemed like a complete non sequitur to me, but I guess there is some connection.

It was a pretty banal comment on my part. I removed it from my comment pretty soon after posting.

Good catch.

Oh.
Edit: Actually, no, hold on. I was going to retract, but while there are a number of places online that claim December is National Egg Nog Month in the US (and, quizzically, also that December 24 is National Eggnog Day), none of them cite anything that could be considered remotely official. Until someone can tell…

I really wish I'd been watching tonight's show with someone not already familiar with the annual puppy bowl, because there is no way you could come from that clue and not think Animal Planet runs a nationally televised puppy-based dogfighting ring.

There have been several polls that give dramatically different approval ratings for the ACA and Obamacare. As in, a significant subset of people, when asked, said they approve of the ACA, and then immediately said they disapproved of Obamacare. Framing matters.

GOP, sure. But there are a ridiculous number of Republican voters that like the ACA, hate "Obamacare", and are just now discovering they're the same thing.

I think punk fits my current mood a little better:

"It also preserves regulations about keeping 26 year olds on their parents' plans"

Except that that line of reasoning (the first paragraph) betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the theory of evolution. It doesn't work/apply on an individual level.
