Since it was all in caps I actually called them I N X S at first. But then someone told me the right way without laughing at me too much.

Pshh. I've been using my self-control not to murder somebody my whole life!
Still like drinking and smoking though.

I think it should have two x'es.
Wait. What I mean is I should have a Dos Equis.
That will help.

What you mean is "you people" according to Ross Perot.

They didn't lose me at that word, they just reminded me that I pronounce it "latinks".

Kim Newman put a hopping vampire in one of the Anno Dracula books and made it funny AND scary, but he's Kim Newman and can do that.

If you are dissing Erik's use of language, you've got another thing coming! I think he's going to turn this around 360 degrees.

Wisconsin will send Paul Ryan in drag, so — WILL Barron be disappointed?

Sorry… In my defense the notion of the Cubs win bringing on the end times is from that 1985 WP Kinsella short story. So, before Trump was thought of as a candidate. It's just, if you look for apocalyptic signs nowadays…

That was funny, beinggreen. But it honestly has confused the hell out of me for decades, that the republicans are so against it. It really is a business friendly solution.
When Kerry suggested, during his run for President, that the US could just adopt and expand the same health care that Congress gets, they rushed…

Yeah … I think Gere bothers me in this movie less than he has in Every Other Thing I've seen him in, but still, he and Adams sort of don't work as I think they could have.
Though I'm damned if I can figure out what should have been done - should they have been more Kit and Holly from Badlands? NO, because Malick…

It was the Cubs' apocalypse-bringing win that got us where we are today, so we can blame them for Trump, for his gang of idiots, and for the US being hated around the globe.

You did!

Most people registered to vote in America aren't voters anyway.

This might be relevant - she dyes the holy hell out of her hair, obviously. It's rare for a human of either sex to have naturally blond hair after teenagehood.
So if she dyes her hair, god knows what else about her is a lie is all I'm saying.

I'm not blaming Obama exclusively, but he and the Democratic party committed a pretty unforgivable sin when they set out to explain health insurance in general and the ACA in particular:

No, you don't have to be a dependent child to stay on your parents' insurance. It's been a giant money saver for me; I have kids, but there are a lot of jobs out there that don't provide insurance.

Snookie and The Mooch, a new buddy comedy/reality show/revenue stream, produced by Chris Christie.

Days of Heaven — Add to Shepherd's performance the heartbreaking, sometimes funny narration by Linda Manz (which I heard was partly improvised) and you have a nearly perfect movie…

I've seen a few of his plays - Curse of the Starving Class and True West plus one I can't recall the name of. I used to work at a small college that put some of them on. Really powerful and surprising.
And the movie of Fool for Love (directed by Altman) was a really good play adaptation, I thought.
