What these poor giant multinationals need is less regulations so they can spend their time "creating jobs" and "instructing people on WIC programs who are unlucky enough to rely on those jobs." Thanks, Obama.

McPoyles! (Hands Chocolate milk) 😀

What a goddam heartbreaker, that one. The lines at the end dreaming about salvation even still knowing it can't happen…excuse me, I've been chopping onions.

In theory, perhaps, and I'm certainly not going to bat for the last fifteen seasons, but Family Guy is just a sewer of rape jokes and cynicism and I'd rather Simpsons try almost literally anything else to recapture some spark, that's all.

I really feel this article needs an A7X reposting something fierce…seems perfect, somehow.

Which were cogent and well thought out, thanks. There's such a difference tonally to these shows, it came off so terribly cringeworthy. It seemed like the Simpsons were caught in some terrible fever dream.

Saw Mike Watt for the first time on Friday, that man is a goddam inspiration. Finished Spartacus (Kubrick, not TV) for the first time. Epic. Listened to new releases by Tweedy, Krieg, Goat, and Whirr and they are all highly recommended! Finished reading Ambassadors by Henry James, nobody does unspoken weight like him,…

Also super great! Or Psychosis and Super Crazy, as well. Damn, I'm diggin through the VHS tomorrow.

It's a Shruggalo! Sure is a bitch children don't work twelve hour days anymore, amirite? Thanks, Obama!

Those epic Rob Van Dam/Jerry Lynn matches (two guys who fit your criteria to a tee) were the greatest pure wrestling I've ever seen.

ECW/FMW or GTFO!!

I would rate A-Rod with an F-minus, personally. Dickhead cheating Yankee.

Way to go, Thomas, in this day and age winning this game of his is truly an achievement. This movie is probably gonna be great, too!

I'm not going to the mat for Dreiser, more pointing out how up in arms people used to get about female sexuality. Besides the first twenty pages of American Tragedy his prose never really does it for me.

Sister Carrie was the first novel where the female character has unmarried sex (with two men) and doesn't end up punished by life. People went apeshit back then because of this.

Being a Justin there weren't any Pop culture references until Timberlake (by then I was too old to care) but I'm sure we share the same abiding distaste for people asking us if Time or Case is our last name. Why never Credible?

Whew! Good thing I started at the beginning of the Royals game! 😀

True, I was just effing around 😃

Uh, no. Homophobic rants and calling out ESPN-NFL handholding are both free speech protected from government crackdown, but one is upsetting when the employer takes action.

Thanx, Pixie, it's been 29 years since they made the playoffs and I'm a shade older than that so I'm not used to the pressure!
