I’m much more partial to Tom Petty, and tuxedo cats in general. It’s one thing to be as much of a self-centered asshole as every cat is, but when you have the opportunity to do it while wearing a tuxedo all day long, well. That’s something different entirely.

I’m not prepared to exonerate Eastwood on the insinuation that the reporter sold her body for a scoop.

So, I don’t drink liquor at the bar for two reasons, I only really know my limit with beer, and it’s expensive. $12 for a decent drink is just too much for my cheap mind. That being said, my rule for tipping depends on what I’m doing there. If I’m having a couple of beers, my standard has always been $1 per drink,…

Colour me stunned that the answer here to “Must I tip 20%?” was yes.

Exactly. People didn’t move on nearly as quickly. They didn’t get outraged about every little thing either. It was just a year after Oklahoma City and the Unabomber’s arrest. Americans were still coming to terms with the idea of domestic terrorism.

The FBI is clearly in the wrong, and clearly the most wrong party for leaking it in the first place. But there is plenty of blame to go around.

You can be legally right (or at least not legally culpable) and still have done something not very good.

If I were the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, I would want to draw as little attention to these events as possible.

I still want to see that show.  

I think it looks like it has potential. Currently after the 2 minute trailer I will not deem it bad nor good. Plus Carrie Coon and Paul Rudd.

I am in complete agreement.  Indeed this is a list of 25 shows.

I liked it. : (

Watchmen at #2 seems a bit premature and feels more to do with this particular show being the current ongoing flavour of the month prestige thing everyone raves about.

While I don’t want it to be a letdown, I’m also not going to understimate Lindelof’s ability to bottle it at the very last second.

Based on her NYTimes piece, Pelosi told her not to resign and that she would be supported.

“EMTs... make good money”

Back in the 1980's, while earning money for college, I got a summer job at the Sunset Magazine test kitchens.

I had this happen a few years ago. I had an old crown come loose and booked the first appointment I could get at a dentist office I could walk to (I need to Xanax up before getting dental work). The dentist handed me an order for crowns to replace every one of my metal fillings, to the tune of $6,000. I got the…

I actually knew Jewell a bit, through some high school friends who worked summer jobs in (this will be shocking) a store security department that he ran years before the events here. He was just a nice, mild-mannered guy and anyone who knew him at all could have told you he was not single-handedly outwitting the FBI.…

The contempt, even after all these years, that journalists have for Richard Jewell is just extraordinary.  If you read the passages IV wrote about him in this review, you’d think this pathetic cretin of a man deserved everything that was heaped upon him.

The media treatment of Richard Jewell at the time was brutal. It was the equivalent of high school bullies ganging up on the awkward fat kid. I remember there was a rather innocuous hunting photo of him posing with a rifle (if you have any friends that hunt, you’ve seen a similar photo) that the networks somehow got…
