This was a cynical play on our hero worship of people with cancer as saints. Cancer does not redeem anyone. Cancer is the second leading cause of death, with lung cancer being top amongst the cancers. Cancer is a fact of life, not a saving grace. 

Luigi is the better and more interesting Mario brother.

I’m all for protesting but I think we’re way past the point where simplywearing a certain color is doing anything meanignful. Sitting in a polite Trump campaign rally isn’t an effective protest. What impact did it make at the last SOTU when they wore their white outfits and Pelosi seal clapped? Who even remembers it,…

I cannot wait for the first-in-the nation caucus to be ripped from this overwhelmingly white agrarian network of villages. New Hampshire as well.

They should hire that last tweeter, reality shows thrive on drama, and with her they probably wouldn’t even have to resort to creative editing for that

“According to a report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, nine out of 10 high school seniors either incorrectly identified or openly admitted they weren’t sure of what caused the Civil War. Two-thirds (68 percent) of high school seniors don’t know that it took a constitutional amendment to formally end slavery.”

Bellah sincerely believes what she and the show are peddling.

Make it happen.

I’d love to watch a foreign version of Undercover Boss.

I didn’t watch the speech - boycotted every one - but the recaps seem to show a downright bizarre affair even by Trump standards. Boy, is the impeachment getting to him.

List incomplete, missing “hit by a car” (ahead of Dominos, behind your favorite local indy joint)

It is reductive though. First of all, why does rap get called out when virtually all music has a loose relationship with the truth? Second, rap is rooted in black oral storytelling traditions like toasting.

Iowa Mean is apparently also insisting that Iowa being first in party primaries should be enshrined forever despite the Constitution never once mentioning (1) political parties, (2) primaries, or (3) Iowa.

“Iowa Mean” is deciding for the rest of the country that 80% of announced candidates will be irrelevant after 100,000 white septuagenarians make their choices known. 

Quite surprisingly, this movie ended up giving me one of my favorite filmgoing experiences.

I saw it at a radio station’s free screening in San Diego. Including me, the crowd was oh, about 75 percent Mexican/Mexican-American.

Cut to the scene in which Branaugh reveals that his “evil plan” involves returning Califas…

How very [insert dystopian novel] of her.

And let’s not forget all the people she tried to “out” as being gay all those years like that’s cool.

Curse you garlic sauce peasants, donair sauce is the only dipping sauce a pizza requires.

“I know what you’re thinking, and yes, “Papadia” does appear to be a portmanteau of “Papa” (as in John) and “quesadilla” (as in a thing this item is not).”

Charlize looked, sounded and acted just like Megyn Kelly, but Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson left a lot to be desired. The chin was way too big, and a shade or two too dark compared to the rest of her skin tone.
