Amen. I can respect people who don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton, but that is not the same is voting for Trump. Actually casting a vote for Trump puts you beyond the pale.

I live in Central Ohio and Southern Tier beers are widely available in stores here.

I'm not a huge IPA fan; I prefer Stouts. However, Brew Kettle's White Raja is an exceptional IPA. It's so juicy and the bitterness is subdued. Columbus Brewing's Bodhi is very good as well and is now available in bottles.

Every time my wife and I take a road trip, we make a playlist, Stars' "Elevator Love Letter" is on every playlist. It's the one song that we always sing together.

Agreed. I am an Ohioan so I find Kasich especially reprehensible.

John Kasich can eat a bag of dicks. He has done nothing but disrespect and endanger women with his policies since he became governor of Ohio.

Bocephus rules! I love Playing House.

I'm reading Blood in the Water, the story of the 1971 Attica prison riots. Whenever I need a break from its intensity, I read Barbara Pym's Less than Angels.

False. It's either Hawaii Five-O, The Odd Couple or Kids in the Hall.

And yet Jack Webb smoked himself into an early grave by using a legal drug.

Wow, she looks like Harry Styles in that pic.

No one and I mean no one, created character names (or place names) like P.G. Wodehouse. My personal favorite is Claude Cattermole "Catsmeat" Potter-Pirbright, Bertie Wooster school chum.

"Bart on the Road" is my favorite, but I do love "Monorail".

I distinctly remember the first time I heard Rilo Kiley. I had fallen asleep on the couch, woke up in the middle of the night and the "It's a Hit" video was playing on TV. I immediately thought they were calling George W. Bush a chimp, so I fell in love with the band and Jenny right away.

Buckley is the first example I thought of when I saw this story,

It works on so many levels!

I was just about to say this!

Ah Deerhoof! How I love their goofiness and joy, and their complete ability to annoy my wife whenever I put on one of their songs! For a track that lasts barely a minute, "Dog on the Sidewalk" produces a surprising amount of hostility!

I love "Stilyagi" from the first album, but I'm not sure there is enough to keep me interested in them.

No mention of "California"? Maybe not my favorite Joni Mitchell song, but the way she hits the high note when she sings the word California the 2nd time breaks my heart every time.
