I don't know, in Nevada, Joe Heck tried to distance himself from Trump late in the campaign and he lost anyway. Explains why Heller is scared to death to oppose him.

Yep. Will Arnett, Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black.

Are you suggesting that The Big Bang Theory, the last mega-hit network sitcom there will ever be, will not be regarded as comedy genius 50 years from now?

Right. Lean into what your opposition mistakenly thinks is your weakness.

On the other hand, I no longer feel guilty about not getting around to some highly-recommended shows, since it's literally impossible to watch them all.

It's good that you're not filled with hope, because now when you watch them with expectations lowered, you'll say, "This is actually pretty damn funny."

I'm pretty sure Ike never referred to his opponent as "Low-energy Adlai".

Heller's in a touchy situation of his own making. Once he stood with Sandoval, the answer was "no" and if he'd just have stuck to that, he'd be fine because the people of Nevada don't want this bill anyway.

So why is Heller so afraid to come out clearly against it, since he knows damn well that nothing can pass that Sandoval would find acceptable with Medicaid cuts? Who is he trying to impress by being non-committal, pretending a reasonable compromise is possible? Because as it stands he just looks weak to both sides.

They consider it to be part of the knowledge base of a well-read, educated person, which I must not be since I'm terrible at The Bible.

So, what do we think, sirs?

I had no idea you had to write to Santa to get presents, and if your letter got misplaced he wouldn't show up.

It usually applies to the ringing of church bells or handbells, and the practice goes back several centuries.

What's also striking about old commercials is how they actually tried to use the product's features and benefits to persuade the consumer to logically conclude to buy it.

And four eyeballs. And two brains.

For what it's worth, the bettors in the UK think it's around a 50/50 proposition that Trump will be gone before 2020.

ABC: "We changed the time slot and preempted it a million times, but if this show dies, it's YOUR fault, viewers!"

On TV, Always Sunny is the best example I can think of using language and images that are intended to really startle the viewer, and they have caught flak for it. But its viewership is low and only the people who can handle it are still watching it, so it doesn't create a major furor.

Yes, for a pay service attracting subscribers is the main goal.

If that's true, then it goes against what we see on the broadcast networks, where the most-viewed shows on a delayed basis tend to correlate to those that are popular in live views.
