I expected "lives in Minnesota" to be followed by "where you lose fingers to the cold without them".

Products are for people who don't have presentations.

Nah - there doesn't seem to be any real Minnesota crime syndicate, at least not since the Gerhardts got "bought out" last season - and even they were small potatoes. It says something when freaking North Dakota has bigger mob families.

Yeah - we've got a mix of the Scottish play and Jacob/Esau going on. This being Fargo, I assume the ending will be closer to the former than the latter.

That's a hard question to answer, not having seen the series. It sounds like it will be more or less faithful to the novel, though I don't know if that's a point in favor of reading it first or not. I will say that you absolutely should read the novel at SOME point. I might be inclined to watch the first season,…

The initial statement wasn't too bad - Hitler never actually did deploy chemical weapons on the battlefield. But he found himself in a hole, and decided his best option was to get digging. Buffoon seems too kind of a description.

"The flight of the clapping asshole" - I think that's a pornographic film.

LePage's populace never liked him to begin with. He won - twice - because the D an I candidates split the anti-idiot vote. But they passed IRV this last election, so that sort of thing won't happen again.

But he's not wrong. She did start it by declaring war without attempting a diplomatic solution. She did sell his unborn child. The former was an enormous screwup, and it did lead to the latter (though at least the latter served a larger purpose).

Shilling for The Lego Batman Movie is the most positive, least damaging action taken by this administration thus far, and likely ever.

Yes, minus the "wild".

I have an uncle named Steve Martin. He's your prototypical crazy uncle with whom you don't want to talk politics.

Tobacco isn't decriminalized - it's legal. The former means something is not criminal, but is still a civil offense. The latter means it is … legal.

Not to be confused with his son, rapin' Robin Thicke.
