There were so many horrible things Trump said and did, they all began to sort of blur together…

I have blame for everyone. At the top of the pyramid is Trump himself, and then his supporters. But mistakes were made on the "other side," too… and then there were folks over many, many years who helped to create the conditions in which a Trump presidency is possible.

I'm pretty sure that's a typo, but I think Donald Trump as "Presidont" works perfectly.

Is there something about "outrage culture" at play, too? It's occurred to me that every time some asshole on a college campus somewhere wears blackface and posts it to Instagram (or whatever the kids use today), it somehow pops up on several wire services and on my Yahoo page.

I haven't seen the show since it aired, and haven't thought about it almost as long… but somehow I can still sing the freaking theme song.

Yes, yes, and no. (The sand is rough and coarse and gets everywhere…)

I have to admit, once I got past the overwhelming fear, anger and depression inspired by a Trump presidency (which hasn't actually happened yet — and probably will not — but go with me), the idea of all of these miserable jokers on his staff becomes kind of dementedly charming.

It's only fair, since we'll be forced to watch him "govern."

Perhaps "Robert Heinlein" is a nom de plume for Starship T. Roopers, esq.

With Trump's election, I was actually thinking about it (I don't know how I got here, I just did) — I wonder which President will be the first to have a video game system installed for their own personal use. (Assuming W didn't get to it already; seems in-character.)

I always wanted to take a run through the Assault course. I could get that damned bow and arrow to work, I just know it!

I would agree that Rand devalued "neighborliness" and related civil virtues, much too much. Or she did not treat on such matters and slighted them through omission, at least.

Rand disavowed libertarianism and did not even consider herself a libertarian! (I disagree with her about that, but just saying…)

I'm not polyamorous myself, but I sympathize with folks who try it out. And what's wrong with a novel exploring or even praising such a thing? I like it when there's a variety of fiction dealing in and advocating different points of view. It's like, I'm no Christian, but thank God for C.S. Lewis!

I respect that Beast is cured of his curse, but I have always wished that Belle and Beast had their initial kiss before his transformation. For me, it would have been a touch more meaningful that way.

The Little Mermaid was a turning point for me. I was in Junior High (or as it's now known, Middle School) and it was expected that boys at that age would… not necessarily go for an animated musical about a young mermaid.

God damn, what I wouldn't give to have Ashman and Menken together for a few years (or decades) more.

It's weird, the argument against prequels. It's not exactly the same thing, but when a story is told sequentially, the original movie eventually exists in the world simultaneously with its sequel. And yet, knowing how events will play in later sequels out does not necessarily rob The Godfather of its power, or Star…

Certainly. Do you happen to play professional basketball, baseball or hockey?
