I think he's important as a foil to Gloria. The reason dumb criminals can succeed - and that smart criminals can get lazy - is lazy law enforcement. It's when you have tenacious, dedicated people investigating that things fall apart.

Yeah, he seems as lazy as he is concerned with asserting his authority. More so, perhaps.

But how much of that is because people have more money to buy drugs during good times - i.e., if you remove the victimless crimes from the numbers does crime still rise with good times and fall during recessions?

They (rightly) think she stole money from Emmett, which is now equivalent to stealing money from Varga. Not sure why they didn't kill her. Maybe they thought they did. Or maybe Varga doesn't kill over such petty amounts of money, preferring to send a painful message.

And it was made no less brutal by being done offscreen, with the sounds and Sy's reaction telling us what was happening.

I took it to be a critique of objectivism.

Jimmy did tell him what would happen. It's easy to read that as a threat, but I don't think it was. I think that was simply the moment when Jimmy realized what kind of person Chuck is, and how things end for that kind of person. Someone who will pursue such a vendetta against the person who cares the most for him…

Your brain is analog, too.

(Curse you) Perry the Platypus!

It's back, and every bit of what it was in the 80s. Look it up on the facebooks.

Democrats won a majority in both houses of congress, setting the groundwork for the Obama presidency, while Rumsfeld and Cheney were not retained and marginalized, respectively.

And I yours. The all lower-case gives it a nice, minimalist feel.

And then pukes it up in his dressing room bathroom.

Murders are for people who don't have presentations.

It's the kind of place which really expensive watches include the time of - like Monte Carlo or Beverly Hills.

Kate Micucci?

He wouldn't be the first 6'5" wrestler to hold the office. The last one did a pretty good job in tough circumstances, too.

In fairness, that wasn't said on air, or with the knowledge that it would be broadcast.

And that just for the part that Aussie taxes pay for. That 5300 our vegemite munching friend is payong over that is for stuff that almost certainly would cost at least as much more on top of that average of 15K.

According to my calculations, that's about US$5300/year. Average cost to cover a family in the US: $15,745/year (AU$21,222).
