As bad as Morris is, though, the alternative is worse. You see how insufferable Patriots fans are now? Multiply that by a million and give Bill Simmons a permanent wet spot on the front of his pants.

I still can’t parse that. Is there a joke in there somewhere? Is it because all teams are made of molecules? I can only imagine tiny little NaCl going up against big bad PTFE in the 1st Annual Molecular Championship.

Is that where GRRM’s pages went? Is Matisyahu collecting all the world’s pages in some sort of diabolical scheme? Come to think of it, I’m missing some pages in an old book and pages that I’ve bookmarked on the Internet. WHERE ARE ALL THE PAGES???

I’ve been meaning to get that book myself. I assume it’s good, right? As for Nixon v Reagan, I’m in the same boat as Perlstein. Nixon was awful But Reagan took things to a whole new level.

You’re right but I think that the Nixon years were when things really were ramped up and things got rolling; I think of him as the start of the modern conservative movement.

Love this.

Now in theaters:

Which games did you have in mind here? I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

I know the base will stick with him through almost anything but scared old white people don’t have enough votes to get him in office. IIRC he’d need something like 70-80% of white voters and even then it’d be cutting very close. And as bad as we white males are sometimes, there are enough sane ones who are appalled to…

Don’t confuse me for a fan of the Democrats. They’re awful with tons of issues, especially economically. But still, as bad as they are, the Dems are a hell of a lot better than the GOP and both parties aren’t the same. Yes they both serve the rich but at least the Dems support some form of safety net. Yes they both…

Last 20 years? This shit has been going on since Nixon. (I highly recommend Nixonland by Rick Perlstein. A horribly depressing but very good resource on the rise of the modern far right in America.

I think his brand has been both irreparably harmed and enhanced by all this. While he’s completely lost any chance at ever appealing to mainstream folk who aren’t far right crazies, he’s the greatest guy around to those crazies. The history of the right and of conservatism in America has proven there’s plenty of money…

I think the best way of putting it is that the Trump campaign is a publicity stunt that went horribly awry. Trump’s too dumb to have understand just how awful the right wing is in America and didn’t realize that they’d vote for Satan if he’d call Democrats traitors and Hilary a cunt. At this point* Trump is just…

Did he leave a pile of bones or did those get devoured too?

Hey! What did I ever do to you?

Oh god. The sighs, the forlorn ‘nobody loves me’ looks, the malaise... I’ll be right back, I have to check on Sophie.

The accreditation group sounds like it was named by a bunch of teenage boys making up dirty acronyms.

And remember, if you’re not sure about something, rub it against a piece of paper. If the paper turns clear, it’s your window to weight gain!

Every single time liability comes up, someone always whips out the McDonald’s coffee case as if to say ‘look at how ridiculous these things are!’ They never bother to understand what actually happened or how fucking stupid they sound for saying ‘McDonald’s got in trouble for serving their coffee hot!’

Why not both?
