I can’t watch Law and Order for exactly that reason. But if you REALLY want to drive your husband bananas, have him watch the British version of Law and Order. Apparently, the rules of evidence over there are crazy lax, even for TV police procedurals, and so stuff gets admitted that will probably give him a stroke.

My wife has the patience of a saint; that scene took three times as long, since I kept pausing it to tell her the exact same thing.

On balance, I liked the show, but one of the big problems was that there was never a sense of how much time was passing. It’s not unusual for trials to take place years after the initial arrest — was he at Rikers for eighteen months? Three weeks? I have no idea, but it was unclear enough that some of his decisions…

OMG YES! This is the hard left turn the bachelor brand needs to stay fresh!

It’s hard to say whether she was actually obliged under the judicial canons to recuse herself, but she if she knew about this connection, even if she didn’t think it was a problem herself, she probably should have disclosed it to the Kesha’s counsel to afford them the opportunity to move for a transfer to a new judge…

No. But, in fairness, I am terrible.

Forget jobs and hobbies, are these people in some way prohibited from touching their own genitals? Rub one out, guys, and see if you still need to hurt people.

“He self-published a book of poetry called Eskimo Papoose that was full of plagiarized Tori Amos lyrics.” This sentence is so wonderful. It’s like the most amazing Mad Libs ever.

Some on the right insist that Islam isn’t really a religion, it’s an “ideology.” It’s totally idiotic, but I guess at least it reflects some understanding that freedom of religion can’t be openly biased toward one denomination, even if the solution they’ve arrived at is to define everything but their denomination as…

Clearly someone did, since “Afghan security forces are reportedly on the scene and exchanging gunfire with the attackers.”

I remember that open heart surgery!

Oh man, I’d so much rather watch someone give birth than spend three hours in a cigarette-smoke-filled plane.

With all due respect, that is not correct. The preferred spelling is “Pthhhhhhhbpt.”

And, at the risk of being a bigot, German chocolate cake is bullshit.

Don’t you get a medal if you crack the top eighty? Is that not how it works?

Yeah, but those twins had a really good excuse for not medaling.

I can’t believe they took her to the front of the plane to give birth. I mean, what are we paying for in first class? That kind of disruption belongs in coach.

Oh, if they can refuse to let people who look middle-eastern fly because it makes a crew member uncomfortable, I bet they could find a way.

My understanding was that if a child is born in international waters, she is legally a pirate. But that could have changed.

On the other hand, those frequent flier miles...
