Had no idea he was there. Last time I watched TV news regularly he was on CBS. Always found him to be a pretty solid reporter.

Relativism is not always a virtue.

Because many of us ‘working-class’ people in places like Upstate New York are getting fucked and chased out by confiscatory property taxes that are the result of insane public employee retirement plans. I’m all for paying well up front, but there’s few private jobs out there where I get to work for 20 years and still…

Fair enough haha I wasn’t insinuating that, or any Ernest movie, was any high art either. But Goes to Camp certainly hits me with the 80s nostalgia feels...

So, basically, it’s Ernest Goes to Camp without any of the heart, humor, and all-ages appropriateness?

Love this film the first time I saw it and still do. Was lucky enough to go with my dad who didn’t know about the premise, so it was an actual ‘a-HA!’ for him. Most everything’s been said here already so here’s a couple notes of my own: 1) It’s a pretty brisk watch at about 100 minutes. I actually thought it was…

What was so brilliant about the garage scene was that we simultaneously got to see the leads have the profound emotional confrontation we wanted, while at the same time finally watching them match wits. In the end, it was like it always was, the Jennings were at least one step ahead. They realized before Stan did that…

If you’re from any part of NY [NYC/LI/Upstate], you’ve probably heard his stock graduation speech a dozen times.

“People also have gears. When you come to the Indy 500 infield, these are a bunch of gear-six people.” - This is a pretty excellent pull-quote.

Or, like, even circus administrations like this one still do menial public relations ceremonies every single day.

IDK how everyone is confused or mystified by how Rudy is acting. Trump interviewed him for cabinet and staff positions 18 months ago and even he passed. Giuliani is 20 years passed his prime and possibly not all there...he is only here for one reason: To obfuscate. They throw him out there to the cameras so the rest…

As someone who works in media, I find shop beef rather entertaining...but could someone explain why there’s so much competitive acrimony between Deadspin and Barstool? Yeah, they’re both sports blogs that often tackle the intersections of sports entertainment and general culture, but the flavor and delivery of both is…

Well, to be fair, the Federal Tax Code has a lot to say about legally joined peoples. Now, if you’d like to have a conversation about if any level of government should be legally defining a religiously-based union, then I see your point.

Let someone who grew up in the midst of the religious right clue you all into something: The Christians that voted for the Don still aren’t over ‘America Held Hostage’. They kinda give the Saudis a pass because they project the excesses of Capitalism, but overall they’re secretly rooting for Israel to finish the…

I don’t think Mueller, as a person and admirable civil servant, is a joke...the fact that he was handed a bunch of wet noodles and told to make the Golden Gate Bridge out of them, is.

It’s so cheap, petty, and borderline uncouth to say the following, but: As a Conservative New Yorker I’m happy to see him out of that office regardless the circumstances. It’s one thing to be ‘Progressive’...but he was actively trying to turn NYS into a helicopter parent, often taking his cues from whatever regulatory…

IDK I did ok for years with my ever-evolving calabash of garage sale and hand-me-down clubs.

Don’t wanna sound like grumbly old man when I say ‘now THAT is a basketball shot!’...but THAT was a basketball shot. And I’m not not watching the Cavs because of any dislike of Lebron, I’m not watching the Cavs because the NHL playoffs have been 578 times more compelling than the NBA this year. I’ll flip over to…

It’s almost as if ‘War is all Hell’ and turns even the most reasonable human beings into bloodthirsty barbarians.

If you want to take down statues of Bedford Forrest, that’s understandable... but to just dismiss him as a ‘a founder of the Klan’ does a great disservice to understanding the nuanced intricacies of American history. On top of being one of the greatest military tacticians in history, Forrest spent much of the rest of…
