The sad thing is that I'm actually not sure this is a joke.

But actually, the Marxists are the worst. They're also the best. But they're also the worst. Somehow they manage to be both.

In Anthropology, we have a couple walkouts every year when we mention that, you know, racism is a thing. Especially since the race realist crowd seems to love signing up for our classes for some reason; I think they're expecting eugenics or something? Apparently they never got the memo that we don't actually measure…

Nope. Your cat still has a spine.

Yeah, but they're real Americans. You know, white ones.

Presumably the 'joke' was damage control by some poor intern flunkie.

He's more like the Penguin than anything else. But in reality, there isn't a DC or Marvel villain remotely like him, because anyone that hateable would never actually be believable as a fictional character. He's a captain planet villain.

I mean, I don't worship him like some people do, but he's one of the more principled people out there in industry.

I . . . don't think that rational choice theory came from Ayn Rand. I mean, I'm hard core leftist when it comes to my economic research, and even I use it sometimes (though usually I focus on how people act irrationally.

I don't think teabaggers have the surgical knowledge necessary to do a complete spine removal.

He also loves a caricature of his country that hasn't been around since the 60s. He loves the "real America" instead of the, well, real America. You can't claim to love America if you believe that 40% of the people living in this country don't belong here.

What about Teddy Roosevelt? For me it would be a tie between him and Obama.

It's when the opening titles roll though. You'd have to be pretty pedantic to . . . oh, wait, that's right. This is the A.V. Club.

I don't understand it that well either. To the best of my knowledge, nearly all actual power in Belgium nowadays is vested in very local governments. In large part because they don't ever have a functioning federal government, so the individual cantons have just been slowly regaining those powers. It's one of the…

. . . yep

Springsteen and Grohl?

I could totally see John Lennon turning right leaning, but not really Kurt Cobain. Maybe like a libertarian, I guess.
