Underrated comment. Took me a minute, but totally accurate.

I would love to be wrong. Go big sky!

It's not a "specifically native role." The native angle was introduced as a joke. The show could, I guess, be about a native community, in which case all the parts could go to native actors. Instead, it's a comedy that did a joke, and followed through on it by casting native actors.

All the polling says you're wrong. He's got a built-in 23 point advantage, though, so anything less than a blow-out is going to look bad for the national party. If Quist wins, it's a four alarm fire at the RNC.

She was so traumatized that she was physically incapable of being intimate with Dong last season. I'm continually baffled that anyone thought there was any ambiguity here.

They could have done the whole thing with a native cast. The existence of this superior alternative renders the thing that exists terrible, and we should all make sure everyone knows that we know it.

That wouldn't work. Even if there were a system of global debt forgiveness (which there is not), defaulting on the debt would have similar, albeit even more disastrous consequences, to simply printing money and paying the debt through an inflationary monetary policy.

Not even a lie, just bullshit. Mulvaney said at a press conference that they made the mistake "on purpose." http://www.nbcnews.com/busi…

So a national approval rating of something like 18%. Four percentage points lower than Nixon's lowest recorded approval rating.

It's not really new. The form of government we're slouching towards is very familiar in South America, just with fewer nuclear weapons.

Thanks, it's a pet peeve of mine. Strait has survived into modern English almost solely in idiomatic phrases so the mistake is extremely common, so I'm never mad about it, but I'm the kind of person who likes to know what words mean and why they mean it.

That's a nice bit of comic book writing there.

"Strait laced," not "straight laced." Strait means narrow, so strait laced means "tightly bound," as when you pull on your shoe strings until the eyelets are practically touching each other. "Straight laced" is an oxymoron, since "lacing" is definitionally the drawing together of two edges using a cord. You…

I love these descriptions.

You've sunk me! My analogy is not completely accurate, and perhaps is even a little hyperbolic!! You may not even have been penning missives to editors in the year of our lord one thousand nine hundred forty-four!!!!!!

Jesus, does everything have to be about the war, all the fucking time? Sometimes I just want a nice article about a good talkie or hardboiled pulp serial. Attention writers: if I wanted to know what was going on in France, I'd have fucking signed up.

Technically a word, but I'm pretty sure he just got lucky that a borderline archaic meaning is still technically in the modern definition. I'm a lawyer and work in commercial law, and I've heard and used "surety" countless times. The only way it is used in normal, modern conversation is to describe someone or…

You're again talking only people who show up to the polls. You can't discount the rest of the Green Party's effect, which amounts to: "voting doesn't make a difference because the duopoly parties are identical, that's why it's the right thing to vote Green because we're ideologically pure and your vote is wasted…
