Why not just base it on counties or groups of counties? Seems logical given how county services run and how stuff runs at the state level.

The reporting of Watergate wasn’t reliant on Deep Throat’s testimony, but rather used verifiable information that Deep Throat had pointed Woodward and Bernstein toward.

Who may or may not exist.

No, they’re someone, they’re just someone with unverifiable claims.

Also, “an anonymous source” isn’t someone.

I think one issue is that people interpret the anonymous rumours being true as either meaning that all anonymous rumours are true or that all anonymous sources will be taken as true, even though the biggest takeaway from what happened with Cosby, O’Reilly, and Weinstein is that anonymous rumous don’t do jack shit…

Sopranos is pretty damn amazing, though. I don’t know if it would really be categorized as self-satisfied in the way you might mean—it portrays mobsters much more as pathetic and vicious than anything romantic.

It’s because none of the scenes were able to forn a consistent pace or clean plotting, but those are such difficult parts of a film to describe that a lot of people point to random scenes that were fine on their own as a rationalization.

I don’t know, just seems to me a movie about space wizards shouldn’t need this much effort put into defending it if it actually is a good movie.

It’s more than just a war on CHRISTmas, it’s a war on America’s core values and the traditions that have made me prosperous and wealthy. Through my love for my family, love for this great nation, and love for law and order, I have succeeded where those in sanctuary cities have failed. Private prisons are the only way…

Ohhhh great, prepare for religious screenings in job interviews. Can’t hire the faithful! Next is tattoos, right? Brand the believers of God so they can’t spread His good word? Better round up the Christians. Gotta keep them from oppressing anyone. Is that what I’m hearing? I remember reading about this in history…

That pamphlet is the weirdest mixture of military jargon and religion. I wonder if they were meant for handing out to troops or something. Also the word “flesh” is included entirely too many times. I’m giving 3/2 odds that the pamphlet was written by a very religious, very closeted man whose favorite scene of every…

“We were getting married on a family farm in what we understand to be a fairly conservative and rural part of Pennsylvania.

I highly doubt that Vistaprint was taking a moral stand. They would make Satan’s business cards if he paid for embossing.

Todd: “Do you see that over there?”

Rolling Stone would.
