Which would make Linda the distraction appointee.

If we have to do this, I think I'd be okay with that.

He does have a surprisingly nice voice, but physically, he looks like Clark Kent not doing a good enough job covering up the fact he's Superman.

Rogue One, Hamilton, Penzey's, Kelloggs…man, the alt-right is sure doing a great job targeting stuff that liberals weren't already inclined to spend their disposable income on anyway.

I think it's more that Hollywood is too lazy to do the research or try and find enough bankable Chinese stars to pull it off. Although given China's growing power at the box office, you'd think they'd be working on that.

I had the exact same thought upon reading this headline.

1776 is one of the few Broadway musicals that could probably still hold up as a straight play if you took out the songs. I think it deserves credit for that.

If I were him, I'd be thrilled there's someone to pick up the slack so I can take a break now.

Is it weird that I'm way more interested in seeing Moana now that I know he's the chicken?

I also find myself dubious of the "he wasn't looking to cheat; he's just an exhibitionist!" analysis. Maybe sneaking around behind the LW's back did sound like a turn-on to his alcohol-befuddled brain. Or maybe he just reverted to old habits from when he was single and lonely.

So you're saying Syria doesn't think 2016 should go fuck itself? Okay, admittedly, the Western world and the U.S. in particular ignored the early lowlights, but I'm pretty sure the past 11 months still brought them plenty of specific stuff to hate.

Reichstag fire.

The trouble is, Trump's already inheriting the power Bush got as a result of 9/11 and that Obama didn't relinquish as much as he probably should have because he needed it to push stuff past Congress. He doesn't necessarily need an inciting incident to do some scary stuff with it.

I say no. The AV Club just isn't high enough on his list of targets, if it's there at all. He's got the "failing" NYT to worry about first.

Corrections like this just make me wish this were a viable option even more.

It's time to officially redefine "tremendous" as "the preferred adjective for people who lack the self-awareness to realize they mean appalling," isn't it?

I can't see the comments, but somehow I knew.

I think this is one of this situations where if it had to happen at all - and it really, really fucking didn't - I'd rather the perpetrators be open about just how terrible they are. Even if their lack of realization that they're being terrible compounds the horror.

Locker-room filming.

When they feel like being polite, that is.
