My dad was a Cadillac man long after his corporate peers were buying Audis and Jags. He was the first in his family to go to college and worked at a gas station when he was a teenager. These guys were old-money assholes from Wilmette and Hinsdale. He loved sticking the Cadillacs in their faces. His Caddys always had…

I think they should keep doing the magical "no continuity" thing. It's the only franchise that does it. I love the idea of "James Bond" being this broad character sketch and just hanging movies off that. A few bottle episodes are what's needed, I think, to get us back into the weightlessness of the James Bond universe.

amen. I haven't not enjoyed a Tom Cruise performance in some time. Remember how he telemarketed his way through that coup, on the phone, in Valkyrie? I'll watch Tom Cruise boss into a phone anytime.

Fuck. Hard on. HARD ON! this column is the best.

Well, you could certainly say they feel very strongly about what gets said. To the point of charging the people who listen to and resonate with the libel that someone else posted.

But the Europeans are so perfect and we should be like them!

Sol is my go-to >80F beer. I built a shed and a deck on Sol (and lots of it). I've swapped mower engines, changed oil, and hung gutters while sucking down Sol and sweating it right out. I love that stuff. The ultimate hot weather "session" beer when "session" means "doing some fucking work around here, goddamit".

is this the ST:V planet??

Shatner threw punches so slowly, the Gorn is still wandering the foothills waiting for his cue to duck. (seanbaby)

I'M GONNA WATER MY LAWN NOW, MR CRABTREE!

I never had a problem with our culture. Not everyone sees it as bland, vanilla and corporate. There isn't some magic place that's perfect, and we have a lot of great things going for us. The whole "you've been doing it wrong" culture is self destructive.

It's totally worth pointing out.

But we have to hate or be ashamed of our customs, don't forget that.

I'm second-gen Polish, I still know some first-gen, and there's open suspicion of blacks and hispanics among many Poles I know over 50. My grandparents openly used the N-word in regular conversation into the 1990s when they died.

I squeeze my tits together when I smile, just like he does

Because we smarter/richer/more empathetic/left make fun of those proud to be 'muricans, we have no identity. So we latch on to other identities. I swear if it wasn't for the people who hang enormous American flags so each highway has 4 acre-sized flags per mile, we could develop an identity as Americans that isn't…

Abso fucking lutely.

Forcing oneself to smile has a therapeutic effect. Just like with laughing yoga, there are mood boosting effects. I like this aspect of America. I like the optimism and the determination to have a little fun while working so hard. Gosh, this HP keyboard and Blu e-cig are satisfying. Sure they're made in China but…

is there anything she can't do?

This column must be made into a book.
