It's an Albany expression.

In a world where same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states, a story about two dudes living together and raising a little girl does seem much less transgressive.

Sheldon Adelson is already attached to play Baron Harkonnen.

Well, I don't think that Paul will be putting his hand in that nun's box of terrors!

I hope they stay true to the book and keep all the parts about how the water belongs to the tribe.

No John Roberts or Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court, and thus no Citizens United.

It is seriously under-appreciated how scandal-free the Obama administration has been, especially with the opposition party controlling the House for 6 of 8 years and investigating every single fart-bubble that percolates out of the right-wing fever swamp.

Not only does it have to be approved by the FTC and DOJ, it needs to be approved by both company's shareholders.
