Yes. Although the number of people who think Trump is great is shrinking, it's still a portion of the American people, and listening to them call into talk radio and whatnot, they do seem to be enamored with this image of him as a tough guy… despite the fact that he has lived his entire life in extreme privilege, is…

Jenny McCarthy "Here, babe, hold this sign that says vaccines cause autism."
Jim Carrey: "Alllriggghty then."

"The Day After," if nothing else, had a brilliant marketing campaign. I was in 4th Grade when it aired, and I remember we were ordered to take a note home to our parents, which originated from the local affiliate, about how the upcoming airing of "The Day After" was not appropriate for children for…

2016: Boy, I really upended people's faith in what's true and real.

You know, you can make the case that what KG did was wrong, tasteless, etc., but does Donald Trump and his followers really think they have any high-ground-of-decency to stand on at this point? Their big thing was giving a middle finger to civility, but now they're gonna sing "How can people be so heartless?"

When it comes to preppers I would say, "Whatever's your thang, man," but there's a trend that's clear throughout recent history: when people who live in preparation for an apocalypse that doesn't end up coming, they tend to want to nudge it along.

Geez, between this and Trump Steaks, not to mention the ongoing class-action litigation of Trump University, it almost makes you wonder if this guy's some sort of con-man huckster.

I recently heard a firsthand, real-life story that illustrated the weird synergy between the intolerant right and intolerant left (for context, I'm center-left):

Even though this board is probably dead…

That's also the one that came to my mind, and still would've before CC's death.

I heard the clip from "Meet the Parents" about Puff the Magic Dragon. I became curious about that whole legend and read the Wikipedia entry, where it stated that the songwriters maintained that the song's not about drugs, but rather about "the loss of innocence."

I'm aware. It's a cardboard standee of Ted Danson's character. The only mystery that remains, from what I understand, is whether the "ghost" in the movie was an actual goof or intentional (one theory is it would be intentional to drive up home video rentals, i.e., people would rent the movie not because they wanted to…

Why yes. Sharp eye.

It has been nearly 10-12 years by now, but in Denver there was a guy who did a years-long crusade against Ladies Nights at bars. I think he even filed discrimination suits.

I guess it was inevitable that there would be many aspiring trolls eager to fill the void left by Milo Whatshisname.

I'd be curious to know if people thought "Tree of Smoke" was deserving of its praise, or overrated. I read it and I remember being really on the fence with that question. He was definitely a prose stylist, so it was written in a way in which what was going on from scene to scene wasn't always clear… I do remember an…

"who even back then was constantly being told what a great businessman he was by paid flunkies"

Was the Democratic candidate ever a serious contender? All I keep hearing about him is "singing cowboy."
