It would be even funnier if some pre-Boomer elder statesman of journalism like Ted Koppel did that. Is Ted Koppel still working? I don’t know. But yeah someone like that. 

baby boomers that brought us...

One thing we know for sure about the Boomers is that they never ever ever disrespected or “put down” their elders. When one looks back at the Baby Boomer salad days, one finds nothing but clean-cut and wholesome young people who worked hard and maintained the social values of their parents.

“Americans have trouble facing the truth. So they invent a kind of a soft language to protect themselves from it...Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. It’s as simple as that.” - George Carlin

My father’s cousin’s kid. Second cousin. Or whatever.

Ok, cousin’s mom (who, I guess, is also my cousin) can be a high maintenance pain the ass but it’s just rude to compare people to truly monstrous individuals. I mean, fine, based on my story if you want to compare cousin to Hitler or Lee Harvey Oswald that would be one thing. Internet ain’t beanbag. But comparing my…

What about saying Boo-urns?

Often advance or communications staffers are giving orders to the candidate. Additionally, close…

As a fellow Michigander, I’ve always thought Seger’s blue-collar nostalgia rock was basically Springsteen-lite if Springsteen meant Glory Days as a found remembrance of high school and My Hometown as a statement about local pride.

My wife deals with mental health issues so this kind of armchair diagnosis/excuse making really chaps my ass. Pete Davidson said it best: Just because you’re mentally ill doesn’t mean you have to be a dick.

I mean, the Kardashian clan made their own church--with a defrocked minister who lost his pulpit for a sex scandal and was working at Starbucks--as a tax shelter so I’m sure they’re all in on West’s religious racketeering here. 

If I recall, Remo from Casino was essentially Tony Accardo. Probably the most powerful mobster in the country for 30-40 years. 

I really enjoy when people employ Marxist thinking to defend multibillion dollar international corporations. 

Yes, exactly. I’m not a comic book movie fan because I’ve never been into comic books but I was honestly shocked Black Panther wasn’t the consensus Best Picture winner at the Oscars because, in addition to being an audience favorite and a critical darling, its legacy likely will include changing the calculous in…

I think this will be a TLC show very soon.

I don’t think his point is that he doesn’t care for comic book movies and neither should you. His point is Hollywood studios churns out remakes/reboots/retelling of the same comic books movies over and over and over again. It’s lazy, and in so much as it comes at the expense of other filmmaking/storytelling…

Amazing.
