Ivy titles? My freshman year, Dartmouth was in a three-way tie for Ivy League champ with a 7-6 record. My high school football team was more impressive. Of course, my high school was in Texas.

Black guy who didn’t shoot people will engender more outrage from Republican candidates than white guy who killed three police officers.

That happened when I just started on Facebook and Twitter. Learned a lot about social media from the experience. I can’t remember if I still have the T-shirt, but I’ve never worn it.

I was hoping her new title would be “Your Worship.”

“When he’s pushed to have human interactions, whether sexist or not, he’s at least doing something interesting enough to differentiate the Bond movies from your average superhero flick.” — For Avengers 2, people seem to respond more favorably to the party scene, with characters actually talking to each other rather…

Never saw Weeds, but she was delightful in RED (and the sequel).

A free and unregulated market is the most efficient means of distributing death and dismemberment.

Ergo, go ahead and say “ain’t” all you want, because people have been doing that forever, too.

“but why a school that’s probably already well off in OC, CA” — Because they won a contest. First line of the article.

I was summoned once for a special jury selection — just the one trial they were seating, not a week’s worth of trials. I got out of it partly by saying I hated waking up in the morning. We had to be there at 8:30 am. I was working with people on the west coast, so I’d wake up at 8:30 and be at work at 10. Not being a…

One of my cats was allergic to the clay litter (possibly only the scented version, but I didn’t bother to do the experiment), so I switched to the stuff made from recycled newspaper. The pellets are big enough that they don’t get tracked anywhere.

My immediate thought was that he’s holding out for a (bigger) bribe, but I have no idea how important women’s soccer is to anyone in Iran.

Back when I decided to learn about screenwriting, I actually did an adaptation of Faro’s Daughter because I think it’s one of her most filmable books. (I was picturing Joan Plowright as Lady Bellingham, that tells you how long ago this was.) The scene between Kit and Ravenscar in the cellar would be worth the price of…

Isn’t it supposed to be backwards and in high heels?

Is she refusing to issue any marriage licenses whatsoever? If so, I’d like to see her get sued by a straight couple and let that be the contempt finding that they send her to jail for. Makes it harder to play the martyr card, which is what she’s going for.

The thing people miss is that it’s not a free pass: You really have to repent. You really have to be sorry. You really have to mean it. Not just, “Oh, wait, I could be going to hell, that was a bad move” sorry.

Someone is unclear on the concept of “gift.”

It’s a navel-gazing question: A media person asking about media behavior. Sanders has little patience with narratives constructed by the media.

I’m pretty sure that purchasing people is going to be illegal, regardless of what you make them do after taking ownership. As for pimps, acting as an agent wouldn’t be illegal, but beating up your workers would be — and your workers would be able to file a police complaint without having to worry about winding up in…

It’s highly entertaining without being in any way actually good, if you can get in the mood for some earnest sentimentality and retro production numbers. Plus aging Gene Kelly is still Gene Kelly.
