God forbid someone is over-educated! Like, what does that even mean? Republicans hate education because smart people generally lean Left.

I think a lot of progressive/liberal messaging is just a circle jerk anyway. The message wasn’t intended for the people being screwed over in red states, it’s for people ‘in the know’ to hear, nod, and pat themselves on the back about.

I grew up in a very red state (which I did eventually move out of as an adult), and I always hated that logic. People just boil huge geographic areas down to “blue” or “red” and forget that even in my deep red home state, like 40% of the votes were against Republicans.

My money is on Hank Scorpio being behind everything

I assume that they’ll erode the filibuster with carve outs that suit their specific wants. You know, “issues surrounding fetal life can’t be filibustered” or somethong. 

The whole thing kind of falls apart without the right lead. Actors with Chow Yun-fat’s charisma and presence are few and far between.

I love that you’re all “we don’t know the facts” in the same post as assuming the nature of the joke and guessing at Palmer’s sense of humor.

Lucy Liu has said there was a "physical altercation" which i thinks means she slapped the piss out of him after his comments. If so, well done.

Will you pay for the whole seat, but only need the edge?

I like how Murray is handling this, and I think it’s instructive on how people ought to react when a situation like this occurs. But overall, I think it would be in everybody’s best interest if cishet white dudes stopped trying to be hilarious at every opportunity they see, even if they are registered clowns.

I thought monster truck rallies were only for kids, and the tickets were $10, and it was only this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY.

I know what you are saying, I don’t entirely agree. I am an ICU nurse, perhaps different circumstances but if any patient even attempts a joke, goofy or otherwise, I say Good On Ya. To me it is a way of being friendly. I’ll take it over mean, scared, sad, angry, rude—any day. The little human exchanges, dad jokes,…

“The Steve Carell-starring sitcom aired its second season back in February, apparently”

We once ate at a restaurant famed for Dad jokes. The servers would announce the end by saying they were going to go get their friend, Bill.  One guy at a neighboring table said “wait, I know that guy.  I hate him.  He’s always asking for money!”  Given the nature of the place, it got a laugh from the server.

I don’t drink alcohol, so when I go out I’m drinking water or soda.  My go-to joke comes at the end of the meal when the server asks if I want a refill on my drink.  I’ll ALWAYS respond (and my kids will ALWAYS avert their eyes in shame) by saying “No thanks, I’m driving.”

My dad had a DAD joke - when the server said, “Hi! I’m Ann. I’ll be your server.” My dad would often say, “Hi! I’m Jim. I’ll be the eater.” He had a lot of those types of jokes and I didn’t think I’d miss them...but I do.

If they are siding professionally or personally with Marilyn Manson that seems like a clear case of, when someone tells you who they are, believe them 

Whatever Rani drinks, I drink one cup more. My skin has sloughed off and I’ve evolved into an ambulatory gel-pak.
