The problem is, as soon as you proffer up something other than straight-up capitalism YOU’RE A COMMIE.

I mean, Madison Avenue will do anything for money, right? And we’re not talking about abolishing capitalism so much as getting the stink off “socialism.” There’s no inherent contradiction about an advertising firm running a campaign about socialism (I mean the social welfare aspects, not the state-owned/run…

I mean, they’d still make a ton of money doing it. Just rebranding the concept of socialism. They ARE awfully good at dictating to people what they want.

I know we studied it in like 7th grade, but most people just think “socialism” and “communism” are synonyms. Actually, they think the words mean the same thing. I don’t think those people even know what a synonym is...

And it all comes down to morons who think socialism just means “hand outs for people not paying their fair share.” Not, you know, your tax dollars that you’re already paying being used for things like medicine, schools, roads, instead of giving companies giant tax breaks which will supposedly spur regular people to…

“I mean what kind of partisan moron would rather pay 10x more for insulin because paying less is “for commies”? It boggles the mind.”

“But instead of helping American companies find a cure, swamp senators like Democrat Ron Wyden want to hit them with socialist price controls.”

“Al Franken’s political career is over”
For now, you mean.
And how is his punching up a script an ““Al Franken’s redemption” ? For those who aren’t in the biz, punch-up writers often aren’t even credited...

“Nationalizing commerce”?! Man, after seeing this, the whole dumb trade guild from the prequels doesn’t seem so out of nowhere. And it really does seem like Lucas had his worst impulses reigned in a bit...

I mean, it’s not great, but in when he’s 38 in 2032, $24m will probably be the going rate for a league-average player. 13 years ago the top salary was about $20m. Now it’s over $42m. In 13 years, Fernando Tatis Jr could be making $70m a year, crazy as it sounds.

For no reason at all I was just thinking about the last lines of Justified this morning, and how it really put a bow on the whole run of the show. Really just kind of... er, justified everything that happened.

Hard to remember now but Lost WAS really good... right up til the end.

I dunno... I i think a reboot of the OC would do great. With me.

Though she did not appear in all the reboots... what a year for  shows Kristen Bell appeared on! Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, Deadwood... Now let’s get that Party Down reboot going!

But if we didn’t have the funeral scene, how would you fit in the kid from Iron Man 3?

When I was traveling in Spain a long time ago, I stopped by a mcdonalds and had these veggie rings/nuggets things, which I thought were GREAT. This international menu thing needs more of the appetizers.

HOW IS THERE STILL NO ROYALE W CHEESE? 

It’s Ride or Die with Truly Hard Seltzer for me!

Both are gross, but I feel like roaches are more respectful of the natural order: They mostly come out in the dark. On the occasion I’ve gone into my kitchen in the middle of the night and turned on the light and saw a huge roach, i was of course disgusted, but I also had a “Oh, my bad...” feeling, as if I were…

Wholeheartedly agree with all of this. I’ve had both, and while roaches are GROSS, mice (and UGH rats) are more of a serious health hazard.
