I discovered The Onion some time in the late 90's. When the AV Club cane out, I first thought it was more satire, because the very first thing I read on the AV Club was an interview with Bob Barker.

Thank you for being open-minded. A British colleague of mine exclaimed," slavery ended almost 200 years ago, why can't they just get over it." Read about Reconstruction, or the race riots (white on black) of the 20's, etc. My stepmother grew up as a black woman in the segregationist South of the 50's, which really…

Thank you for your courage.

It's one of those things I heard people said in college that made me do a double take. "Humans are the only species that kill their own." Komodo Dragon, anyone? That, and hearing people say a few years after the Berlin Wall fell:" I don't know what we were afraid of with the Soviets." Maybe all the nuclear weapons…

And that was 2004 dollars, mind you. But that was the going rate, then, as I recall.

That's a pretty strong charge to call someone out as a liar and then offer no proof. Tobolowsky was recently on a popular local radio show and told a few anecdotes. He seemed pretty humble and an all around decent guy. Nothing he claimed seemed so outlandish that he'd have to make it up, ditto for his stories on…

Some AV Club commenters can find a way to hate anything, but mostly they're alright. But have you seen the yahoo commenters or those on the local alternative papers? Dallas Observer has some real crank SOB's. I refer to them as the "stangry," that toxic combination of stupid and angry that seems to drive internet…

Can't wait to listen to the Conference Hour podcast, as I can relate to the few Joan Potters I've had in my life. She may have been a totally decent person to other students, but that that's how it goes—sometimes a faculty member (or teaching physician in my case) just zeroes in on your ass and won't let up til they…

Do the 7 spits above his head have real lamb, or that imitation stuff that you get at the mall gyro hut?

There are porn sharing sites?!?!?

That's why you rarely hear "The Happy Birthday Song" sung on radio or tv, b/c you have to pay the old couple that wrote the lyrics to that song.
