Honestly, while I've learned never to say that the repeal effort won't happen, this is a substantially larger blow than it's been dealt thus far. It's not out of the question that they just punt and move on to defense.

I mean, I'm a millennial, and even Herman Melville still gets a chuckle out of me. That's about 150 years of staying power. Now, I usually don't audibly laugh at anything older than that, even it it's meant to be a comedy. I think that the key factor is how language changes and evolves as opposed to context.

Also there's Master of None . . . perhaps that's low-lying fruit though.

Are you Irish? I'm moving to Dublin in a few weeks!

Lindsay Graham says a lot of things . . .

I'm surprised that they sell them now. That used to be done as a bit of a cool novelty gift. Congress used to give them out to people visiting who had done noteworthy things. I have a friend who's school got one because one of their student teams had been invited to Capital Hill in recognition of winning some…

Fun fact: in the State of Maryland, whether displayed vertically or horizontally, the Calvert field must always be in the top left corner. That's because the Calvert field represents the Union and flagpoles carrying the Maryland flag are always topped with a cross botany; it's supposed to symbolize how the Union…

Because of course he'd be a fucking Confederate.

I'm not gonna lie. He was super cute, and considering that he was playing Joffrey that gave me a lot of confused feelings.

I'm more into the 'swords', to be honest.

No, unfortunately the Predisent can't count that high.

I think that's what Lindsey Graham is trying to set himself up for.

Yeah, I've got to back you on this one. The slow drip-drop repeal of banking regulations since the 70s was a major factor, but Glass-Steagall itself was likely negligible (and the repeal may have actually lessened the effects of the recession).

Say it with me now . . . BUT HER EMAILS!

I mean, in all fairness, it's not like the Soviet Union never had any corruption or authoritarian bent to it. That's like saying that America's interventionist impulses arose out of their post cold war hegemony. I don't know, the idea that the Soviet system had 'principles' seems very reminiscent if an inversion of…

Post-Borg Voyager wasn't terrible. The difference was that it had good episodes mixed in with downright terrible episodes.

What about requiem for a dream?

Yeah, I always felt that WoT was basically four or five entirely separate and very good series that were crammed together into one story. I mean, Mat's story in Ebou Dar alone could have been it's own trilogy, if you consolidated it from across the entire series. It would have actually been pretty good, too!

He really is like Robert Jordan v2.0

Like . . . dragons?
