Next time I run into Wolfgang Halbig I'll ask him this same question.

No one throws self-pity parties more often than the white male conservatives. Everyone's out to get them, you know.

I'm more convinced that Mike Pence is making the cabinet selections and Trump is rubber - stamping them without questioning Pence's judgment.

Does their boycott mean that there is less of a chance that there will be some idiot with a gun watching a movie in the theater while I'm at the movies?

Which doesn't change the fact that the people who didn't vote for Trump will also suffer in some way during the next four years.

In light of the election and the recent events at the Comet Ping Pong the story about the brother-in-law questioning Jimmy Pardo's wife about who she said her father is is more than a little disquieting.

With twelve of those minutes featuring a Katey Sagal cover version of a seventies classic rock song.

If I had to choose one band that sounded like they actually gazed at their shoes for any length of time it would be Slowdive. Souvlaki is one hell of an album, though.

My pop culture discovery - Tame Impala. I've heard Elephant for the last three years, and thought of it as the White Stripes song that I actually liked, even knowing that it wasn't a White Stripes song. I bought Lonerism because i wanted to know if it would be worth the money to see them with Sharon Van Etten and…

A little off topic, but Colin Hanks' appearance in "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" was the high point of that show this year. The show's main topic was on-line bullying, and they make fun of the 1995 AOL commercial where one of the guy talks about meeting his on-line kayaking buddies. That commercial used to bug…

I want…no, I need to see Freddie Mercury on The Love Boat.

I haven't seen much of Nancy Malone in anything, but when I saw "Stopover" a few years back she struck me as being too intelligent to end up with someone like the Barry Nelson character. Ms. Malone had an aura that led me to believe that she couldn't play dumb if she tried, and I wasn't surprised when I learned that…
