But what if it is the only store in the area?

I think that's where the issue can get most problematic, where those are the only places of commerce in town. I know it's taking the argument to its logical extreme, but I've been through some real backwater shitholes in the United States, places that have signs on their front yards that literally say "NO NGGRS…

Look at the articles and comments from Reason Magazine, America's supposed premiere libertarian publication. Most of them support the gist of the law. Libertarians in America are weird. Some of them view government and private business in such a black and white way, and the more honest ones are openly hostile to the…

"What ARE you made of, Philouza!?"

Exactly this, and for being supposedly such a good lawyer the fact that he would think he could get away with this reflects pretty badly on his judgment.

Totally valid point.

Hamlin might not be a monster but he's still a partner in a law firm. The man oozes pride and he knows who butters his bread. I'm conflicted as to whether to sympathize with him because I'm not sure if he cares for Chuck's well-being or if he cares for the firm or both. In either case he is more than willing to throw…

I could not agree more, and it's the most plausible explanation for a lot of ill will and whatnot on the show. Chuck is a manipulator extraordinaire.

This episode makes it so you realize you've completely misjudged both Chuck and Hamlin. I thought only one of them was slimy, vain, and pompous and as it turns out both of them are, but the one I thought wasn't is even worse and now I feel sympathy for the slimy, vain, pompous lawyer who did dirty work for another…

Well that was horrifying.

The Devil is one of the few respectable characters in the Bible. He was the first to teach humanity critical thinking and the knowledge of good and evil, and he has never judged mankind unlike someone I won't mention. He's a Prometheus-type rebel hero, far more moral than the God botherers claim him to be.

Eight episodes in. This beats House of Cards by a country mile. I work at one of those movie theater / restaurant venues and they were advertising this before the opening credits, the only advertising I'd ever seen for the show yet or since. Seeing Mendelsohn attached to it and especially for his particular role…

Be flippant all you want. This dude survived two plane crashes, the latter of which happened at 72 years old, months after breaking a leg filming the latest Star Wars movie.

"Babies getting baked, then baking babies, tonight on Headine News!"

She had a story once about a child found in someone's freezer and used the hashtag #FreezerTot. Which without context sounds like an inexpensive potato-based snack that is ready in 25 minutes. Which then becomes #OvenTot. Which will be her next segment.

Nancy Grace and all the other professional umbrage-takers in the crime media seem obsessed with the word "tot". It's the only place where I even hear it. Maybe because it rhymes.

Definitely a foot in mouth moment.

Charlie: "Is it racist that I don't want to eat the black guy?"
Dee: "Well, Jesus Charlie, it is now!"

As soon as Doyle started flapping his gums at the standoff I knew it was curtains. The poor bastard just doesn't know how to shut his talk hole.

Glad to see Conan getting work.
