Is it better to have someone who is competent and intelligent in their evil or someone who's completely oblivious to the destruction he is sowing? In some ways, the system is better prepared to take down someone like Nixon. We're all collectively trying to figure out what the hell to do about Trump. I mean, we're…

Yes, thank you for clarifiying that! I realized that my comment might be misconstrued as some kind of backhanded compliment to Nixon, but I trused that most people got the gist. He was indeed a deeply cynical man and would likely be right at home with the likes of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

The Overton Window has moved so far right that Nixon would be a Democrat in today's environment.

Say Eno to bad puns

And you could probably find actual heroes worthy of your defense.

The manipulation of LIBOR alone was worth billions to each of the banks that took part. Okay, so you don't like the word stole, since nobody has been prosecuted. How about bilked, appropriated, siphoned off, cheated, you like those better?

No, not at all. But I tend to think more systemically. You seem to be implying that there is only one way to deliver AIDS relief to poor nations and that it's the only problem that exists in the world. If I, by extracting money from the public or abetting another person to do it, hurt all other causes to help one,…

But what do you think about Bono's shilling of BofA, during a time when the banking industry most needed some reputation laundering? I know that it raised a lot of money for AIDS, but if I stole billions of dollars from people, then cut off a piece of change for a noble cause, is that okay?

He would have to wear a polo shirt with the collars turned up to do that one.

That isn't saying much though is it. ;-)

Oh. Thanks. Still didn't like it.

Hmmm, I guess I'm one of the few people that didn't like Hiddleston's Loki that much. Loki is supposed to be a trickster, I have no idea what Hiddleston was going for.

Is he referring to the time I ate that whole bag of gummy fish? I said I'm sorry, and I've already suffered the consequences.

Didn't you ever see the bad guy come out and cry when he sees his car…oh wait, that was Final Fight, never mind.

and an even smaller brain

Agreed, but Fallon plays it too "safe" for my tastes. Good comedy relies on a certain mental anguish, a place of pain. Jimmy Fallon seems like he was too popular in school and was raised in too stable and loving a home for that sort of thing. To me, that doesn't make him talentless—that's absurd—but he's certainly…

I guess orangeface will be a thing now.

Pffft, I did this yesterday just trying to get my computer to stop reminding me to update.

You know that a lot of those political posts do intersect with entertainment right? SNL, Colbert, John Oliver, The Daily Show, Bill Maher, guess what? That's what people are watching these days. A reality TV show star is our President, what do you expect?
