"Some say you shouldn't stick a fork in a power outlet. Some say, 'Hey, don't tell me what to do, Poindexter!' At this school, we teach the controversy."

Over the summer, I saw the Strand Book Store in New York was selling tote bags and other merchandise with the slogan 'Make America Read Again'. And I'm sure this is going on elsewhere.

In related news, 'I'm Afraid of Americans' is climbing the charts worldwide for some reason.

"While owning your own bookshop might sound like a great job, internet giants like Amazon have effectively torpedoed the independent book retail industry."

His next special will be a crudely-printed samizdat tract that you can get arrested for owning.

Argentina's suspiciously large population of elderly expat Germans will be so disappointed.

For a fun taste of the future, watch the seasons in reverse and see social progress roll backwards!

9/11 didn't kill irony, despite reports of its death. But yeah, a lot of jokes we've all been making for months don't seem especially funny any more.

[HEROIC SORKIN SURROGATE JEFF DANIELS narrows his eyes and directs a steely gaze at TRUMP from across the desk.]

Obeah Wan Kenobi skipped that Force ghost nonsense and just came back as a zombie.

My upcoming Expanded Universe novel Rebo: Origins will explain why he was missing the usual number of limbs. Long story short, he accidentally jostled Obi Wan Kenobi in a bar one time.

If South Park had the same wish-fulfillment function for liberals in the Trump years as The West Wing did in the Bush years, that would…actually be just about right, adjusting for tone.

Curmudgahideen here, reporting from post-Brexit Britain where Tory MPs recently argued that child refugees should have their teeth X-rayed to determine that they weren't too old to be deserving of basic human sympathy.

At least, as a TWD fan, we know she's used to disappointment. And post-apocalyptic scenarios.
