About halfway through David Sedaris's Theft by Finding: Diaries. Even as a big fan of Sedaris, when I heard about this it sounded like the definition of self-indulgent… while I'm not totally convinced that it isn't, the surprising and redeemable thing about TbF is what a blast it is to read. I coincidentally started…

You articulate the disappointment I had with this article when I realized there was no clip.

One of the most sublimely snobbish jokes in Simpsons history:

This woman's relevance is waning. Not because people moved away from her way of thinking, but because too many people moved toward her way of thinking, i.e., Too many people are doing what she was known for doing for it to be shocking anymore.

Stanley Tucci's first significant role, I believe.

Holy shit.

DItto on the "Pi"stuff. If you're looking for Pi-type movies, I remember reading about in a Pi review and then tracking down a movie called "Wax." It's an almost zero-budget movie about a guy's bees.

One of my favorite jokes in that movie is when Eugene Levy says, "You must be very proud, Mary." Of course it's not the joke, it's how all the other characters seem to overreact to the joke and offer commentary on it… it's just one of those scenes where it's very difficult to describe and make it seem funny. You have…

As I heard someone else say: it's been almost 20 years since it happened… where's the statue?

So is the perception now that Bill Clinton "got a pass" for his affair with Monica Lewinsky? 'Cause I don't remember it that way at all. I wonder how many of the people proposing that aren't old enough to remember that episode.

Oh man, I haven't thought of the "terrorist fist bump" in years.

Although what you say doesn't necessarily include North Korea, it put me in mind of an anecdote:

This was some pretty egregious shit that kind of got overlooked because of Trump's more standard follies. It's like, you've got friggin' Republican secretaries of state telling this administration off. That's how bad this is.

Beck, about five times.

If I see several-dozen more examples of this type of behavior, I might actually begin to question whether this guy is fit to represent us in other countries…

it's somewhat rare that you can tell this just by looking at a person… but, yeah, he's an alcoholic.

"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get plaid!"

I'm as much a fan of King as anyone, but this simply illustrates that his books are now basically a dartboard: i.e., scary car, killer clown… I'm surprised there isn't a rabid St. Bernard in the backseat.

Well, at least give her credit for going into the lion's den. Sean Hannity has been especially harsh and unforgiving toward this administration.

No, but it's probably German.
