Any day I’m reminded of Tom Lehrer is markedly improved. Take your star!

Neil Gaiman made that observation back in the 1990s, with the result being American Gods.

Maybe they assumed there’d be backlash (maybe a boycott) by easily-outraged evangelicals?

Couldn’t help but notice that, after mowing the lawn, a sweaty and manly-feeling Bill comes to Mia’s door, clearly hoping she might invite him inside. Mia doesn’t take the hint (though she surely saw it), and Bill goes back home. Then later, at the party, Mark takes Bill aside and “jokes” about Elena “allowing” Mia to…

If you grandfather in A&E for inflicting “Duck Dynasty” on America, count me in!

Let’s stipulate that you and ACprof can’t control what Bradley or other “woke-scolding” “pansies” write, post, report or broadcast. What all y’all CAN control is your reaction to them. Y’all can choose to NOT be “asses” about anything and everything that wakes your inner rage-kitten. Just sayin’.
