I never understood why MBFGW was such a hit - it was almost perfectly terrible. 'Almost' because Lainie Kazan was, as always, delightful.

Chewbacca Mom seems like a truly delightful person to be around.

Do I need this book to tell me things I already know?

It's often the last bastion for someone who's been unfairly imprisoned. Governors can't pardon people imprisoned for Federal crimes, only the President can. Take that away, and you have MORE unfairness in the legal system, not less.

There have already been lawsuits filed over that.

Stopping someone who is committing actual assault is one thing - advocating taking people down because they're assholes is another, and a very wrong thing.

You have to think she was a pretty awesome woman if that's the worst they could come up with.

I usually put the word in quotes, because there is no scientific basis for it.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I watched The Magnificent Seven, which I had never seen before, and Barbarella, which I had. I enjoyed Mag 7, although I'm scratching my head that they managed to get sequels out of it.

They're afraid of demographics - the US is becoming steadily browner, and they're afraid the brown people are going to treat them the same way they've treated the brown people.

My slave-owning ancestors were a bunch of drunks who lost everything to alcohol.

I've been saying this ever since the election, but I'll say it again - decide what issues are most important to you, and join with others fighting for those issues. I joined the ACLU, but there are many, many organizations fighting for good. Join one.

Probably already has. Several times.

Naw, he lives next to Garfield and McKinley.

Lexington's a pretty tolerant place, though. The mayor is openly gay (and was when he was elected). I lived there in the late '70s and 80's and there would be Pride floats (full of lovely drag queens) in the Fourth of July parade.

Why should the boy 'bots have human-sounding voices, while the girl 'bot has to sound like a man doing a parody of a 'girly' voice?

Her 'original' voice was Jim Mallon, who finally sold the rights to MST3K to Shout! Factory and no one from MST3K wants to work with him ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again.
