That Maron ep made up for the eeshy stuff with Nora Zehtner.

Waterworld had some good actors. Waterworld is a perfectly fine move, and I guess the derision it received upon its release was due to the gigantic budget, or Kevin Costner, or the anxiety-inducing premise. (Shades of the initial dislike for Quantuum of Silence, a.k.a. private water baron?) Kevin Costner does seem to…

McCain's positions seem so random I've always assumed he was driven by a simple compulsion to be contrary.

The Savings & Loan crisis, I forgot about that. The Keating Five. Cost the Treasury a bundle, to say the least. McCain was in the dock alongside John Glenn!

Eh, Rush Limbaugh used to vilify him back in the 1980s, but I'm not buying it. Everybody cracks around the edges when held in a communist war prison, unless they're a robot. Besides, McCain-Feingold was good compaign finance reform! I guess.

McC is the ultimate contrarian. It's a way some people pretend to be smart. Not sure in his case what's up with that. Some people I know do like him, but it's too complicated to explain.

I made a major mistake in my numbers and have edited it to read: the current prediction is for Labour + Lib Dems + SNP to win exactly the same number of seats as the Conservatives. Apologies!

Maybe he forgot to bring his chair.

Why fair Brits hate their LD so much is a bit of mystery to me. I mean, let it go already, British lions with thorns in your paws. But if the LD would really try a replay coalition with the Conservatives after what happened last time, well, then maybe I can see why they are so demeaned.

Yeah but gramps literally could not remember the president's name. I mean, we've all been there, more or less, but it was really bad.

Checkered results, I'd venture.

If you like numbers, the current prediction is for Labour + Lib Dems + SNP to win exactly the same number of seats as the Conservatives, in the old country, according to the Guardian. Methinks the PM who called the election hoping to do better got Trump dumped.

The day before though he was one of the best, in the hearing with Coats, Rogers, etc.

At least they got to play golf last season.

Varga is Welsh not English, and where the hell is Gus?

Sy was in some zone already. Varga telling him about the $5m only made him more confused and defeated.

Unfortunately I think some woo-woo is going to turn out to explain Varga.

The show I've been flummoxed about is Sense8. It seems well-liked around here but I ran away in a saccharine pain after one episode, the premier of season two. I did notice it was a different universe of commenters. (I also figured out it has a righteous following for breaking some identity ceilings, but I can't get…

Hashtag!

That's a good point, what about after Reconstruction. Well the winners wrote history, mainly. Compromise of 1877 sounds nice until you read the compromise to the disputed election of 1876 was for the South to accept Republican President Hayes but the Republicans to end civil rights in the South.
