He irrevocably broke the public's trust in the presidency. You're essentially saying "sure, he killed some people, but he paid his bills."

"Albatross around one's neck", which I truncated slightly, is a very common idiom, used to refer to a curse on a person. It's derived from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."
Perhaps know your shit before talking shit?

It was a smash hit and Fox's first instinct was to take a hammer to it. I'll never understand.

There's a reason that her outfits got increasingly oversexed as the show went on. 1700s woman in a corset is fine, 2010s woman in the same corset is ridiculous.

I meant executive, sorry. And bros is right, I think it was Kevin Reilly.

Fixing something that wasn't broken to the nth degree.

John le Carre sighs once again, rips up his masterpiece, screams his hatred of these people to the high heavens, and starts over.

My local liberals group wrote postcards to Paul Ryan's office, mainly in an attempt at catharsis. I wrote "So now 'wonk' just means anyone smarter than Betsy DeVos?"

I loved that they didn't go the "black kid faces homophobia from his friends" route; it's obviously a huge problem but this is a college campus and these kids are…

You can totally skip that one week of null pills and go straight to the next pack.

I think that's just called a seance.

Yeah, I've been wondering for years why people are so obsessive over these two movies. They were fine. Abe was underused; Selma Blair had no business being there. I didn't get it at all.

That makes sense, thanks.

Ok, educate the ciswoman here. I don't quite understand how being indistinguishable from cis/het society is a bad thing (in the long run, once the bigotry dies down *crosses fingers*). I'm aware that years of abuse has probably left a lot of queer (this is the catchall you're using, so I'll go with it) people with, I…

Bacon and liquor together is never wrong, sir or madam or both or neither.
