It varies from person to person, really.

So yeah just like driving drunk.

“...but having been the apparent hegemon for over a millennia they had grown complacent, while in the shadows the Sith had been evolving into something Yoda failed to recognize looking him in the eye for years on end.”

“Fucked up badly I have, he thought to himself.”

I mean, there a worse things.

Like the young officers of the later resistance getting their own rank and file killed en masse through hubris and stupidity then congratulating each other once it became clear they were the only ones left standing.

It’s abundantly clear from reading these comments that a boycott and industry blacklist is exactly what just about everyone here would like to see happen.

Alas, nobody gives as much of a shit as you think.

Yeah, I remember seeing Chasey Lane on the Howard Stern live show on E post-retirement. Holding her girlfriends hand the entire interview like a broken frightened child.

It’s not a rule though, Jenna Jameson seems to have rallied late in the game. I would like to think a lot of them do, when they don’t end up working…

If poor Debbie Gallagher had gotten smacked around like that by her grandmother she would be so much better off.

Which is certainly understandable, path of least resistance and all.

Soviets did not invent hypocrisy.

Their opponents on the other hand were more than ready to paint them as an “evil empire” to justify establishing garrisons most everywhere on the planet.

Not at all.

I’m attacking one, actually. Sinclair is what you’d call an incidental beneficiary.

I don’t recall choosing a side.

But I do recall neo-liberalism taking the wheel after eight years of the GWB administration and continuing those policies in every way that mattered, expanding our middle east adventurism to include Libya and Syria in undeclared wars with a proportionate body count as people like you…

The script that network stations were asked to air is benign, and nothing that Oliver discusses in his segment is particularly extraordinary either. I see no examples of outright falsehoods or anything particularly distressing. Standard operating procedure for a very long time now.

On the other hand, I do recall…

Ha.

Roark might have blown up his own building but he was never foolish enough to build a glass one then go on the roof and toss stones at people.

That would be exactly what I did, according to an altered set of parameters which I specified at the outset along with the reasons why.

Those poor journalists. Have any of them tried blinking some kind of plea for help in morse code on the air, or been able to exchange letters with their families?

A bachelors in communications you say? And you worked at the college radio station?

My god, why didn’t you just run for public office!

Have you ever read a paper or watched a news program?

Discretion with regards to content as well as presentation colors most everything save for weather and sports. And even those have been occasionally prejudicial lately what with climate change and the whole Kaepernick thing. 

That would actually make you a perfect example. You were hired because you were assessed as someone who could be relied upon to independently and autonomously adhere to the standards and norms of that particular corporate culture. Which rendered you well established and dependable later on, in much the same fashion as…

I’ve been told a soothing baritone is my finest asset.

So this really is my ideal medium.
