That’s nothing. Much of our side thinks it’s the Democrats’ job to make them enthusiastic about voting, rather than their obligation to vote if they don’t want to be ruled by Republicans. It’s pretty hard to beat that for raw stupidity.

When the brothers have spoken directly to reporters, they denied it. The Chicago Police claim they got a confession, but do remember this is also the Chicago PD, they of Homan Square fame.

I’ve been on Team Jussie for a while now, not because I believe that a celebrity must be innocent, but because the Chicaco PD and prosecutor’s office have been acting so strangely. The most likely explanation, it has seemed to me for a while, is that the Chicago PD abused their power in ways that would come out in a…

Her sister is ... no, just no. Your best bet is to make references to the Lennox Avenue Ladybugs in your everyday speech and see if anyone else knows what you’re talking about. Or take to saying “Boosh!” and see if anyone responds with “and/or Kapow!”

True story: when I’m picking up the missus and I am texting her to let her know I’m close, it is never “I am near”.  It is always “I am Nearl”, and she is at least as familiar with the reference as I am.

Do you enjoy the Archer / Pam dynamic?  Are you a fan of Krieger as a friendly helpful sort?  Then by all means watch “Danger Island”.

Uh, no, not even close. If it were the case, then EVERY refusal to engage in bigotry would be a version of bigotry. Suppose you don’t think that people who prefer “The Munsters” to “The Addams Family” are inherently bad people? Bigotry! You feel no particular animosity against go-cart mechanics? Bigotry! You see no…

People could stop being Muslims, true. But why should they?  Don’t start with the premise that their being Muslims is harmful or that they owe it to other people to change.  That’ll help make the bigotry easier to spot.

The thing is, investigations are underway already; they’re just not formally impeachment hearings. But they’re sure as hell laying the foundation to bring Trump and his people down. Just a few hours ago, the news reported that two more banks have complied with subpoenas from Maxine Waters and handed over Trump-related…

Do you think I’m happy that you’re making the arguments of a BernieBro? Believe me I am not. But go over to Splinter and see if they are making the same arguments you are, and draw your own conclusions.

It means you’re thinking EXACTLY like a BernieBro in a lot of ways, including this ...

Good heavens, man, you’re a HuskyBro and not a BernieBro. Don’t let frustration turn you into one of them.

“If they can’t get some movement on that, they they need to be voted out until we find someone who can.”

Yeah, Lena has already risked her life trying to save Kara’s; at that point, Kara really really owes Lena the truth so she’ll take better care of herself.

... wait, so is the lesson in all of this that Molly Ringwald should have picked Duckie and that would have kept him from turning evil? Bad message, TV show!

We’ve got some Lex Luthor fans here; I thought I should link to Ookla the Mok’s “Suprema Lex”. Queen King Beauregard and I sing this when we’re in a good mood:

“During the big Supergirl/Lex fight, I kept wondering why Kara never used her superspeed to ram Lex into a wall.”

And don’t forget Alex disobeying her boss, Hank Henshaw, because she thought he was keeping secrets (GASP!) — which led to multiple DEO agents dying when J’emm Son of Saturn started running amok. Alex experienced zero professional penalties for this, and indeed was rewarded by becoming the head of the DEO.

Kara asks Alex for advice; Alex gives exactly the worst advice possible. That’s a drink. I don’t like that Alex is so reliably full of the worst ideas, but that’s the Alex the show keeps giving us.
