Huckabee will never be able to afford shells and missiles. The Koch Brothers will give him ten grand, as will a couple of religious groups, maybe. He might raise fifty from small donors and then put in whatever takes him up to a hundred, himself. A couple of trips to New Hampshire for big events, but mostly it’ll be…

It’s how the economy works; either money is horded or spent. He’s probably not going to buy a lot of airtime, but I believe he placed second in Iowa the first time he ran, so he and his entourage are probably going to buy gas, meals and hotel rooms around the state, plus they’ll get some printing, maybe rent some…

I realize it’s a bit pedantic and Huckabee probably won’t win a single primary, but all that money he and the other candidates “waste” in pursuit of their own personal advancement pays the salaries and provides the operating income of all those from whom they contract goods and services. The money doesn’t evaporate,…

SNL hosts have always given scores or announced the winner when there was a competing sporting event of some importance. It’s not like Johansson was watching the fight between costume changes. When it was time to sign-off, Lorne or one of his producers told her what to say, which is why she shrugged and said “I guess”…

It’s also worth noting that even hail the size of baseballs or softballs don’t usually get a FEMA response because most towns in the Southwest are so isolated and small, though most everyone in town might need a new roof and their cars are all beat to hell, it usually doesn’t add up to enough property damage for…

My wife and I were telling my daughter just the other day, how back when we were in school, tube and halter tops were all the rage, as were sundresses and short-shorts, along with no bans on beer logos. As far as we can recall, though we grew up on different parts of the east coast, there weren’t any dress codes at…

Neetzan posted about her career playing teens, back when he was at Gawker in 2013. The post itself is just a collection of sentences about some of her teen roles, but the pic he borrowed from Reddit is worth note.

I’m an Olde, so early viral video for me was iFilm. It wasn’t a daily destination, but especially after the submission guideline loosened and as the site became more popular, I’d regularly stop by and fall into the rabbit hole of watching what they had online.

This isn’t really a call or a nightmare, more like something weird.

I don’t know whether I like Fish or the way Jada Pinkett-Smith plays her, but some of the reporting and Morning Spoilers makes me think she’ll not be around.

While they apparently also allow men who are Masons, the Eastern Star are generally considered the female Masons. Though, their website does say that you have to have some kind of defined family relationship to a Masonic man.

It’s been almost a week since I emailed the author and he’s yet to make the correction, so because it grates my nerves, I’m forced to put it here. It’s the National Park Service, not Parks Service. Though most of the time he gets it right, three times it is wrong.

It’s definitely a character study all around, down to the actors nobody knows.

American Crime is excellent and deserves to win a boatload of awards. It plays like a Netflix show in that it’s probably very conducive to binge-watching, except unlike the Netflix shows, something actually happens in each episode. I can’t recommend it more.

The "show me a picture of..." has made me wonder how far we are from being able to point our camera at someone, ask "who's that", then have them run through a reverse image search. Of course it'd be more complete with facial recognition software, but that seems like the first step.

While it was pre-web, I remember telneting into fedworld.gov. It was like the Yahoo! of government. From there you could drill down through most everything they had online.

Hannibal works because she’s the boss, but she might want to play down the cigar.

My son used to want just bread, cheese and black olives when he was younger. What we'd do is let his older sister order a footlong with extra cheese however she wanted, then we'd take everything that wasn't cheese or olives off of his half and put it on hers. Thankfully now that they're older, both of their tastes…

I realize some connoisseurs might give me a hard time, but with Subways like every two or three exits on the interstates, we've easily bought hundreds of vegetarian sandwiches and my family's regular orders all include "more". It does seem like maybe they charge for avocado outside of a promotional period, but I've…

My wife and kids are vegetarians which makes Subway one of our go-to places for lunch when we're on the road. We've probably done Subway in thirty states. Maybe the one that person worked in charges extra, but my family piles on the vegetables and the only thing we're charged for is the double cheese.
