That's the right answer, but this Wiki page doesn't discuss that, and I try to stick to the page. Sometimes I don't have enough material to fill every category (usually because I've run long with one of the other categories). "Also Noteworthy" is usually the casualty, but once in a while I'm not happy or unhappy…

You need to stop watching Fox News. The supposed "Murder capital of the world" is smack in the middle of America's big cities in terms of murder rate. (New Orleans is at the top) And through the Obama years, the murder rate in Chicago was half what it was during the Reagan era, although there was an unexplained spike…

That's true. New York's famous for having only one museum and no culinary scene, and doing nothing to attract tourists.

It's almost like he's some sort of machine, built for the purpose of having sex. A fuck-engine, if you will.

I'll get around to that in the next 5.4 million weeks. I love sports' murky origins. Everyone knows the Abner Doubleday story is bullshit, but the Elysian Fields one might be too — I've read that base-ball was mentioned in England a century before anyone was playing it in Hoboken. But whether that term referred to the…

@disqus_g1mssakybo:disqus 's answer is basically it. I didn't go through every single villain on the list, but I did go through most of them and didn't really come across any that raised my hackles. Nor is Batman particularly well-known for having any racist villains. Unlike, say, Iron Man. Were there any original…

Like if you're going into the snack food business and your name is Wetzel…

I loved late 90s/early 00s Batman (post-Cataclysm), because you had a Bat-family of Oracle, Cassandra Cain-as-Batgirl, and Tim Drake-as-Robin, having fun adventures, but then Bats himself was a miserable prick, and the comics didn't shy away from pointing out that that was a bad thing.

I decided when I was a kid that Gotham was New York (which actually was crime-infested when I was a kid), and Metropolis was Chicago, mostly because Smallville was so midwestern and I assumed Clark Kent wouldn't move that far away from Ma when he went to the big city.

Yeah, if your closely-held beliefs are bigoted, then you're not a nice person, no matter how pleasant you are to the "right kind of people."

My favorite is Jersey Shore, PA. About a hundred miles from New Jersey, and about two hundred miles from the ocean.

Beck's got a few pretty good ones too.

That's actually cited on the Wikipedia page!

I was on vacation in Pennsylvania last week, and when you drive back to New Jersey, the first town over the border is Buttzville. Yes, with a z. I always imagine a distinguished town historian saying, "it was named in honor of our respected founder, Seymour Buttz."

I thought Shane was pretty highly rated.

I remember seeing a news report that Gerald Ford was eaten by wolverines…

That's a mostly apocryphal take on Lincoln based on a letter he wrote to a pro-slavery newspaper in one of the border states "if I could preserve the union by freeing none of the slaves, I would do it, if I could preserve the union by freeing all of the slaves, etc." That was written for an audience who wanted to hear…

Oh, 21st century politics are an utter shitshow compared to most of the 20th. But we're still a long ways from Mitch McConnell personally leading an invasion on American soil. Okay, we're a short ways from that, but we're not there just yet.

Also, Wikipedia has an aggregate ranking of Presidents, based on various surveys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…

Here's my favorite joke about a mediocre president:
