I think that's totally wrong. The essential part of LDS theology is that all other religions are wrong. My Mormon friend had a book called "The Great Apostasy".

I once watched "Stallion: Spirit of the Cimarron" with my Mormon best friend. I made some comment to the effect that it was ironic that the movie identified horses with Native Americans and that Europeans were the bad guys, since it was Europeans that brought horses to the Americas in the first place. He immediately…

You almost have to admire Joseph Smith for his brazen chutzpah.

That was such a load of shit. All that protest was driven by a Native American woman who was mad that Rowling didn't write her a check. J.K. Rowling is a creative artist, and she can write a book, and if she wants to write a book about a North American magic school she is entitled to do so and she can put whatever…

The little story things are pretty irritating, frankly, and if you believe in "death of the author" theory they are meaningless. J.K. Rowling's babbling about what Neville Longbottom did after he graduated is fan fiction. If she wants to make it canonical, she can write and publish a goddamn book in which we check…

This is a load of nonsense. Bill Clinton is President Clinton and will be until he croaks. No one calls him "Governor Clinton" and they haven't since Jan. 20, 1993.

You are talking about the people who gave us Benny Hill and the "Carry On" saga, you know.

If anybody's going to be familiar with Joseph Goebbels it's people who work in politics and particularly political messaging. Your comment is silly.

Well, in real life all of this is nonsense. The people of this country would never stand for a protracted House tie. Tom James would get crucified in the court of public opinion for all this skullduggery. In fact, most of how Season 5 has played out is a load of nonsense. In real life this would all go down by…

I forgot to mention that it is also nonsense to suggest that Selina or anyone else could be VP to either James or Montez in this scenario. James or Montez would still be the VP until the House selects a President or until the 2020 election happens. And if the House selects a President they can only choose between…

This is not correct. Selina was actually, legally, President due to inheriting the office upon the resignation of Hughes. Montez is not President and cannot be President. She is still only Vice President; she is acting as President because the office is vacant because no President was elected. Suggesting that she…

I liked how even Selina's people just assumed James would hold the office for 12 years because he'd be so great at the job.

I'm more bothered by the suggestion that Selina or anyone else could be Vice President under this scenario. Complete nonsense. There would be no VP—or rather, Laura Montez is the VP, acting as President.

Not sure Mandel can re-write the constitution in his spare time, unless we're presuming "Veep" is in an alternate universe where Selina still has a shot at being Queen of the United States or something. Montez did not win the election and is not president, and Mandel is wrong.

A couple of things:

Don't worry, the House will vote her back in some time in Season 6.

Scott really is tremendous in this movie. Peter Sellers gets all the attention but Scott is so great.

Morons, you mean?

A Clockwork Orange

I'll say it too. Scott rules as Scrooge. Born for that part.
