Norm is definitely the outlier. I wonder where people put Joe Rogan? He definitely lies in the Libertarian end of the spectrum (his views on drugs being the best example), but there are things he says that strike me as more than a little right wing.

. . . and what kind of teenage dorks dress up in political attire supportive of a political party in power voluntarily? When I was in high school if someone went around wearing a Bush/Cheney hat I would have assumed there was some sort of irony to it, or that they were some sort of moron. 

The Simpsons is all over this one for me. Citizen Kane definitely counts since I only saw it in it’s entirety a few years ago. Tons of shot by shot Kubrick references, tons of Hitchcock including a full episode of Rear Window, a lot of the OG Treehouse of Horrors are direct riffs on the original Twilight Zone even…

Good point. I guess they could be satisfied by watching as another nefarious power infiltrates the highest corridors of our government. As far as agents of chaos go, we’ve done the heavy lifting for them.

It occurred to me that if terrorist were in fact coming in at a record pace through the southern border this would be the perfect time to attack us. When have we ever been more vulnerable than now? Crumbling airport security, hobbled national defense apparatus and a bumbling idiot in charge of it all. The fact that we…

And we should pay for it!!

Which featured John Cho. Who was an the actor in the scene that coined the phrase “MILF”. Life really is a rich tapestry.

The first one is poking fun at something that was kinda addressed in the R Kelly doc. Since black men have been treated like shit by the justice system in this country for so long, there is this knee jerk reaction to initially rally around black men who are being put on trail (figuratively or literally). OJ being the…

Need some Brawndo to wash all that down.

Have sex with a girl without his homies?

Unreasonable request? There are hundreds/thousands of unreasonable requests and pet projects that get funded every single year. All together total in the billions. Every year.

No dum dum. While some sort of immigration reform has been part of most national campaigns dating back most of lifetime, that is about procedural changes in the process, not about building walls. The budget for Homeland Security (which includes border patrol and ICE) has actually been increased every year for the past…

Unfortunately Chris Rock was on the exact same bullshit yesterday too:

The right’s rhetoric during the gun debate is also something to the effect of “that wouldn’t have stopped this event” or “that won’t stop every mass shooting”. Yet, when it comes this “crisis” if it stops one illegal crossing it’s worth $5.7 billion.

The Palestinians have also bypassed that wall too:

I think this article missed the mark. The biggest thing they did was stopping the ally-oops to Capela and changing his angle to his shooters in the corners. Lopez did a great job of containing Capela the game after he put up 31 almost exclusively on dunks (against Jokic who is currently considered a top flight center).…

Drugs do not come into the country that way. They come through other ports of entry. This was in the news this morning:

To me there is something unearned about it. Every team/player that wins a title, even Jordan and Lebron, had to go through a season or two where they come close but still fail. Jordan had his battles with the Pistons, Lebron had his battles with Boston before eventually joining the Heat, Shaq got swept by the Rockets…

Also that episode where the psychiatrist plainly tells Carmela that she is immoral if she doesn’t immediately head home, grab her kids, and take them as far away from Tony as she can. Ending the advice with something along the lines of “now you can’t say nobody ever warned you”.

Am I the only one that thought that with Phil out of the way Tony went on to a happy productive future with his family and manages to evade any blow back from NY, prosecution for his many murders and a long respite for his health problems? Surely, I can’t be the only one? Fade to black can also be interpreted as “no…
