"THE END IS NIGH," proclaimeth old hacky white sports columnists.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that Jacksonville also has a celebration horn — a foghorn of some kind. They've probably had it for years, and for reasons ranging from having little to celebrate and nobody watching the Jaguars in person or on television, it's gone completely unnoticed.

Milk was a bad choice!

And when he recognized Magary's well-worn trick of structuring, Kevin McFarland wrote in his notebook "GAME OVER."

It was interesting that the closing shot of the episode was Don standing on his balcony, not unlike Dr. King when he was shot. I'm not sure what it was supposed to signify, but at the risk of feeding into the "Don is gonna die" foreshadowing theories, I assume it wasn't an accident on Weiner's part.

Lake County is notoriously, chronically late in tabulating its election results, and competitive statewide races in Indiana do often hinge on whether Democrats in "The Region" bother to come out to vote.

American Dad?

I'll be doing the same … with a cocktail comprised of Kentucky Moon and Mingus Dew. A Harry Goz Navel.

Yep, that's my (Comcast) strategy too. It means I'll be watching on Tuesdays, rather than TV-starved Mondays, but this show is too beautiful to settle for SD. Thankfully, I should be able to avoid any discussion of the show for 24 hours.

I know NYC was at an historic low in urban poverty and crime in the early 80s, but these kids live in the DC area. Sure, they live in Falls Church, but their parents run a travel agency in Dupont Circle. The inner city in DC was similarly economically depressed to NYC in 1981. They've seen a homeless person or two.

I agree that it's just a coincidence that Stan is the Jennings' neighbor. If Stan knew that they were Communist spies, he would not have done something so risky as to sneak into their garage and check the trunk for a missing Russian informant. If he truly knew they were spies, he would have known the gold Oldsmobile

Cutler did make an appearance. At one point, you see a common house cat slink across the background. Jay Cutler was in this episode. Because he is a cat.

And the Roomba goes on to make a respectable living as a DJ in Pawnee, Indiana.

This is maybe the most hate-watchable show I've ever seen. I've always liked Sorkin and his snappy dialogue, and The Newsroom provides several great little exchanges throughout each episode. I also enjoy the overall themes of the show — like improving our civic structure. But holy shit does it fail on the execution!

The Sklars' style of comedy may be just a bit too niche for the History Channel. A lot of their pop culture punchlines seemed way too dated (Kate Moss?), and would have worked better with an obscure NBA reference or something. Still, I found the show enjoyable since I fit snugly into the Sklar niche. HENDERSON!!!
