That's a good get! I bet the Kingpin is quite the home-run slugger, the dude's got real power hidden in those bread-dough arms.
Exactly. I don't doubt that among bloggers — where most so-called "debate" consists of two people talking past each other, neither side actually reading much less addressing anything their opponent writes — any sort of actually-organized response (that addresses the points made in whatever they're responding to) might…
Not even an exaggeration.
Yeah, new one on me. It's… not one you should just throw around in a video where the target audience is, presumably, not made up entirely of bloggers. And its unfortunate and confusing proximity to "frisk" is yet another reason why the NRA, in particular, might just be better off avoiding it entirely.
Al Franken was on SNL! Ronald Reagan was a Hollywood actor! Unless Americans have some really weird, implausibly-specific reality-TV fetish, still seems like where Trump goes, Franken is also welcome. In terms of non-political factors, at least. (Which it's become very clear are the only ones that matter, in terms of…
Indeed. Honestly, while my primary leanings were very much towards Sanders, he started to lose me a bit with his post-primary campaign speeches. I started to notice this consistent pattern, where every win was The Voice Of The People Coming Through Loud And Clear and a shining example of glorious democracy in action,…
SRSLY, it's gotta have been at least 10-15 minutes.
Except, how does it not also disqualify Donald Trump?
I'm not sure my GMail account could handle the workload of a Franken presidency. As it is he's the source of what feels like 20% of all the email flowing through my Spam folder.
"If nothing else, I'm sure it's good for my teeth." –The Fifth Doctor, explaining why his sartorial choices include use of a decorative vegetable, and why he would eat the stalk of celery on his lapel were it to turn purple (indicating the presence of certain gases to which he is allergic).
In fairness to them (…WHY?), Twitter is ground zero for knee-jerk reactions based on faulty assumptions or incomplete data. That's an endemic problem that goes waaaaaaay beyond just "Trump supporters", and you can easily find examples of the same nonsense from any group with sufficient representation in the…
Sounds like someone's just pissed off they didn't have the self-control to stop reading, once they realized the article didn't interest them. (Also, who finishes writing an article only to then decide they're not going to use it? Hardly the attitude of a gainfully-employed writer whose time and effort is actually…
That's the actual difference. The difference to Hannity would be that the Onion's Biden articles are "just harmless fun", because of course Joe Biden being mocked and ridiculed feels right to him. Whereas Hannity getting the same treatment is Southern-Lawyer-delivering-his-closing-argument level outrageous!
Do I suck on the lime before or after I salt my vagina?
If we're culling states, the pairs are fine. Some of the A's, I's, or M's have to go first. I am tired of trying to sort out 2-letter abbreviations with so many levels of indirection. "Is AK Arkansas, or Alaska? Or is AL Alaska? No, AL's Alabama. I think. So then what the hell is Arkansas?" Lather, rinse, repeat.
OK Go have been back to that well more than once with their music videos. Most notable/relevant is "This Too Shall Pass" (video) where the song plays over the execution of an actual Rube Goldberg machine, and there's also "The One Moment" (video) which is a slow-motion replay of a 4.2-second video, synced to the song.…
Not a completely lost art, even in today's CGI-heavy reality. For Archer season 5, when the show was re-worked into a Scarface/Miami Vice drug-trade pastiche they called "Archer Vice", the opening titles ended with the logo being blown off the screen like so much cocaine off a mirror. (video)
I kind of agree… but also still feel like the Bard would be insulted at the suggestion that he'd ever write someone who's that two-dimensional.
