I want to see him just wander onto stage behind them, not acknowledging the debate, just slowly setting up his own podium behind them as they try to go on like a madman isn’t behind them, setting up one of those little microphones that play out of a speaker; then just jumps in and starts hijacking questions

The Republicans would love to see PBS go away

I do think she was hoping to narrow the gap to lower double digits though, under 15 at least. His big test, since I don’t think South Carolina is going his way, is Nevada (I know that’s reverse order). Big union state, but also diverse and pro business; he should at least be able to narrow the gap, which is wide. This…

This seemed more apropos

I’m rooting for it because I want studios to see R rated superhero hero movies as viable. A lot of amazing comic books/graphic novels/fantasy work that needs to be made needs to be R in order to be made properly. Stop making everything pg-13, yay mature content!

I have to take this opportunity to remind everyone that President Bush Jr. EATS CATS LIKE CORN ON THE COB

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (did the birthday plea for ungray work?), all I can say is...

Me too, it’s been a much needed distraction for me and the office. I’ve had staff coming in to ask questions and they all look at the thread to see where we are. Our intern tried to talk me out of the drinking tears line but then we reminded him that’s what we do with interns and he skulked away. I totally get your…

Goodie, you gave them art time! I used to give them crafts time, but they kept making variations on a chisel. It’s like the voices always say, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, stay shackled to your cot

e) he has snuck into Babs’ house and has unwrapped and begun playing with their gift for Jeb, and will tell Jeb, when he calls his parents, how much fun it is

It’s important to keep morale relatively up. Sure I keep it 119 degrees in there, but occassionally I do give them something to drink. Granted it’s their own tears, but that brief moment when they think it’s water, that’s really nice for them. Also I like to put up inspirational calendars and cross off the days for…

I really respect that, it can be hard to look in the fractured mirror and say, “hey self (wearing a skin mask) this isn’t just about you.” I personally made the transition to locally sourced food scraps and artisinal implements for my “guests,” and when I remove the gags they seem to imply that it’s really changing…

He used to really have a talent for characters and dialogue, so much so that he now perpetually rips off the younger Sorkin. The only good parts of Newsroom directly come from earlier work

If Bernie wins the general he will be kidnapped by DWS and replaced by Hillary Clinton in a Bernie Sanders mask

Well then, neat or on the rocks? I’m not stingy

Were you sitting behind me at lunch today? I was just having this conversation. I absolutely agree, I don’t think he’ll do well in the Southern states, he should hit UNLV and work the unions to try to close the gap in NV. Florida is polling hugely for Clinton (though DWS being there won’t impact anything since she…

Yeah the road ahead is demographically very different, the polling as of now is not good for him in Nevada, South Carolina, Florida, or New York (not as lopsided as earlier but still is leaning heavily Hillary)

It depends, did you like the West Wing? I would say sports plays less of a role in SN than politics did in WW. It’s closer to West Wing than Newsroom. My wife isn’t much of a sports fan and loves it because it has good characters and great speechifying, and like West Wing (unlike Newsroom) it has good female…

I recently held an office contest with a prize for whomever could pull off the best CJ Cregg’s Ronny Jordan’s The Jackal. Which is a great excuse, not that one needs it, to post this bit of proof that sometimes the best thing in a Sorkin show is not written by Sorkin himself
