“This” isn’t fucked up, “human nature” is fucked up. If you have a problem with that, go through proper channels.

Richie’s dad, the hardware store owner from Happy Days? Tom Bosley couldn’t pull that look off in a million years.

People give money (or not) as they please. Every dollar that goes to breast cancer research is a dollar that doesn’t go to save the whales, and every dollar that goes to save the whales is a dollar that doesn’t go to feed the starving children of India. A panhandler with a funny sign may collect more money than a teen…

Get the butterfly to flap its wings again, and that Publishers Clearinghouse check will no doubt be on its way...

Unless you lost your job BECAUSE you spray-painted the Trump signs, you’re on your own.

“We were both drunk, and mistakes were made.” And that’s where babies come from!

A close friend of mine, who was also a coworker, once lodged an official complaint (not of this nature) against her immediate superior (not my superior). I was asked to give an official statement about what I knew. I implicitly believed my friend’s account of the events, and gave my statement accordingly, but it was…

As David Cross put it (much controversy ensued), “#Rashomon.”

Alcohol is a legal drug that people willingly take in large quantities, even though they’re aware that it impairs judgment and can, in fact, be debilitating. “Taking advantage of someone who’s already drunk” and “Getting someone drunk to take advantage of them” are both bad, but both are a far cry from “Adulterating…

I give them a pass on Max because of the nature of his “recruitment;” they needed his special knowledge for a specific purpose, and they DID try to keep him in the dark as much as (and for as long as) possible. Once he was there and clued in, they kept him around because “Why not?” but any security checks would…

It’s a solid #2.

Shatner was never KGB. If he were, how come the tribbles didn’t attack him?

Dustin Hoffman disappointed me, but given his era there were probably some years where he was doing a LOTTA cocaine; while that doesn’t EXCUSE this sort of behavior, it may help EXPLAIN some of it...

PPS: Never mind. Somebody’s finally used that.

PS: If anybody wants to make a book or movie with the title “Red Means GO,” you’re welcome to it. (I don’t have a plot to go with it, but it’d probably be an action thriller.)

I’d be overjoyed to have somebody steal my Book Ideas, so long as they follow through and actually write them. Lord knows I never will. Besides, my Book Ideas generaly make the list becuse they’re books I want to READ, not books I particularly want my name on.

I’d agree that Ghosted is best when it “coasts” on Max and LeRoy’s chemistry, but one thing that bothers a lot of people about The Orville but doesn’t bother me bugs me more about Ghosted: Why aren’t these people better at their jobs? Why does a top-secret government agency have “rent-a-cop” in its top-secret…

The only question is whether she’s trying to take down the Bureau BECAUSE of LaFrey or DESPITE LaFrey...

That was Comey and not Mueller, no?

I didn’t recognize her from anything (I didn’t watch Lost), but I was tempted to go to IMDb to find the name of the actress and her resumé, just to see how likely it would be for her to return...
