It's almost as if the presidency is more about celebrity than policy.

I too would like to express my fondness for that particular documentary.

Nothing in Buffy is more far fetched than The Wire's season 5 fake serial killer storyline.

I don't remember that.

The "Nobody's worried about terrorism or climate change" line makes a lot more sense when you realize the author was 13 in 1998.

Cropper, as in sharecropper.

Would Alabama get past NBC's standards and practices?

The Obamas are planning on staying in DC until after Sasha graduates from Sidwell Friends.

Gandhi: Nonviolence provides the path to independence from the British Empire.
