Something about the FJ clue confused me, and I thought they needed the cabinet POSITION. I would have said "Secretary of the Treasury", would they have given me credit for that?

There is no separate test for teachers. At my in-person audition they asked if anyone was a K12 teacher. I was the only one who raised my hand. That means I'm in the pool for the next Teachers' Tournament but also in the regular contestant pool. Unfortunately, I recently found out that another teacher at my school…

Gertrude is actually named several times, but the King is never once referred to as Claudius, not even in stage directions.

Don't forget he also wants to turn a vacant lot into a… computer store? Internet cafe? Whatever the fuck "cyber studio" was supposed to mean.

They do barely any screening to find out if you're actually Jewish. If you're in your 20's, a good liar, and know the name of at least one Jewish holiday, you pretty much get a free trip.

I actually thought this one was a little disappointing. A lot of jokes run into the ground. The pilot getting blown was funny when we saw it the first time, then Ilana named it, then it happened again… same deal with the mohel chai club, which was a pretty funny little pun and then, like the Be Sharps, it got less…

Counterpoint: Hank?

Ripken was excellent in the 1997 postseason (really the only Oriole who hit in the playoffs that year). That was when he was 37 years old and close to the end of the streak, and by all rights should have been exhausted in October (per his critics). The Orioles also needed a late push to make the playoffs in '96 and…

Wish I could take credit for this, but I saw a clever tweet which said that Robertson's comparing homosexuality to bestiality is pretty rich considering his business is helping people convince ducks they want to fuck them.

I'm partial to Jan, the kindhearted Communist from Richard Wright's Native Son, who is the only white person in the novel to see Bigger as a human being. God, I need to reread that book.

"We have a lot in common, you and I…" If you type that in older versions of Word, Clippy appears and says 'you look like you're writing a villain's monologue, can I help?'

I'm not a Burnett superfan or anything but I didn't know.

I always think of Dean Peterson from "Homer Goes To College."

Najaf only has significance in Shi'a Islam. And I think even there it would rank behind Jerusalem because Najaf is only connected to Ali, not Mohammed himself.

Jerusalem is also where Mohammad visited on his Night Journey, en route to Heaven. Al-Aqsa Mosque is built on the supposed site of the ascension so it's a particularly sensitive point in the Israeli Palestine conflict.

Or in the Plessy v. Ferguson clue, the doctrine of separate but equal being called "controversial." I think it's all right to take a side here, Jeopardy.

I wouldn't say Broad City takes it especially seriously. Season 2 started with a cold open of Ilana sexually assaulting an Orthodox Jewish man on the subway.

I really hope cousin Harris shows up as a character this season.

we have to dispel the fiction that Amy Schumer doesn't know what she's doing. She knows exactly what she's doing.

Kate's guess of "Alexander Hamilton" for who called the United States a poem was so out of left field and bizarre. It was the most wild of guesses, why did she ring in?
