Do you think the FCC chairman ever stops and thinks, "Jesus Christ, I'm fucking lame?"

For some reason, I've been playing back through Alan Wake. Really no reason for this game to be as fun as it is, but the Stephen King/Twin Peaks/X-Files vibe is just a hoot.

You know, Bush really was dumb, but in retrospect, I've realized that he was dumb for a smart person. You know what I mean? Like if he was just the old redneck who ran your local hardware store or something, you wouldn't be like, "Wow, what a moron." You'd probably consider him a pretty normal, functional guy. He was…

He doesn't know what's in the health care bill his own party just passed, how the hell is he supposed to know anything about Australian health care?

Remember when Obama spent a year trying to sell the public on the ACA, and every day you heard some shit about how he was "ramming it through?"

If I think they're going to turn around and use my money for some idiotic shit that offends every fiber of my being, I can find a different beer to drink. It's not like Yuengling is any good to begin with.

I think maybe this article is being a little too accepting of the narrative that LGBTQ people were generally unhappy with the joke? Just based on the interactions I've seen online, it seems like more found it funny than offensive. I could be wrong, though.

I really didn't hear it as a homophobic joke so much as a joke about Trump going to great lengths to appease Putin. I think using dick-sucking as an insult probably has enough homophobic and sexually aggressive connotations that it's probably better to avoid it even in situations where it does happen to be an apt…

I've said this before, but of all the movies made in the 90s, Wayne's World will be the most completely incomprehensible to future generations.

There's this thing on the far right where you try and trip liberals up with their own standards of decency and fairness that you yourself refuse to adhere to. None of them thought the joke was homophobic, or cared whether or not it was in the first place; it just feels like liberals are "supposed" to be mad about it,…

Yeah, "finally."

I saw this clip when a gay buddy of mine sent it to me with a message to the effect of, "You have to see this, the cock holster line is amazing." Not saying that one anecdote makes it not homophobic, I just thought it was funny in retrospect when the controversy came up later on.

Wow, I guess it is in iambic heptameter, now that you mention it.

It's hard to tell if his incompetence is his most dangerous attribute, or his one saving grace. The fact that he seems completely unable to do anything sometimes turns out to be the last line of defense against some of his more heinous proposals.

Bush was unbelievably terrible, but at least he was terrible in a way that you could understand.

He probably won't stop at her shoulders, if that's what you mean.

Last night I started playing Near Death, and so far I'm really into it and would probably recommend it, especially if you can get it at the $6 Steam sale price that I got. The premise is that a plane crash has stranded you at an abandoned Antarctic research facility. It's 24-hour polar night, the temperature is 36…

Anytime he speaks off-script, it seems overwhelmingly clear that there is a problem with his mental faculties that runs deeper than just not being very smart. It's not normal to have so much trouble conveying a clear idea, but he seems incapable of doing so in conversations of any depth. I have real concerns not just…

The Coen Bros. claimed not to have actually read The Odyssey prior to making O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Man, I have had zero regrets about just blocking that asshat.
