“This never happened to the other fellow,” - GL.

I was wondering if the AV Club was going to acknowledge his passing.

There are so many good Martin moments in just “Lemon of Troy,” but for some reason it always gets me how when Bart faces off against the Shelbyville kid at the lemon tree, Martin’s the first one to back him up. There’s just something about the way he positions himself there exuding an ‘Is there a problem here?’…

Your “I thought I was hallucinating” made me LOL.

Avoided reading this because of wanting to go in fresh, but I’m gratified to see the high grade.

As someone who’s been unceremoniously fired, I can tell you that Shirley Sherrod lived the fantasy that everyone in that position has: getting a call a couple days later from the people who fired you saying they made a huge mistake and begging you to come back.

Which is weird. Trump, his family, his lackeys, and his supporters throw out numbers/ratings/metrics to show that he’s right, yet two things are objectively true: 1) he lost the popular vote by more than any man who has ever been president (I’m not even gonna mention Russia), and 2) he has the lowest approval ratings…

Thank you. That was huge news when it happened (I remember arguing with my conservative friend about who had more to fear from that information, Clinton or Trump). It was unbelievable the things that were going to come out. And then... nothing. We haven’t heard another thing about it, and I doubt we ever will. There’s…

This isn’t at all about policies or record but rather optics:

Almost every buffet follows a consistent pattern: everything’s okay, nothing’s good.

Does he ask SB about President Trump issuing an official statement that he (SB) was “dumped like a dog by almost everyone,” and “cried when he got fired and begged for his job,” and is, in fact, “Sloppy Steve”? (one Tweet) 

The thing about this: man am I fucking tired of conservatives using colleges and college students as a bugaboo. Do college students say some stupid shit? Yes, and I thought the same when I was one (and I include myself). But the thing about college students, that which defines their very existence, is that they have…

Very true. Even at that piano bar I like the waitress keeps practicing politics. 

I got two for ‘80s fans:

What more do you want me to do? I’ve already been talking backwards all day... AND wearing condoms on my ears.

Isn’t he the one who proudly claims he doesn’t read books?...

After this happened I remember the newspaper did a history of Colorado hoaxters (the type of institutional journalism that’s all but extinct now).

Cleaned them pipes, though.
