SNL and Teen Vogue: our last defenses against normalization, everyone.

Spend the downtime trying to get your friends hooked!

Aw, I like "Thought Bubbles." I wouldn't show it off as an example of the show at the top of its game, but I thought it worked as a character moment.

Assuming he actually wants to make the argument, sure, I'm game.

Or they'll order their tickets in advance under the name Donald Trump. That'll show those liberal snowflakes!

Remember, the NRA exists to protect gun manufacturers, not gun owners. Someone who isn't an air marshal opens fire on a plane, that's a mess they're not interested in wading into.

At the rate we're moving backward on race relations, I suppose it was inevitable Italians would become targets again, too.

The Times actually did interview him. Apparently he regrets handling it the way he did and admits the "intel" may have been off, but is not willing to concede the entire thing was ridiculous.

I grew up a Metro stop over from that neighborhood. I'm angrier about this than just about anything else that's happened since the election, and that's saying a lot.

The cake is not a lie. It is, however, fruitcake.

Congratulations on your new Christian easy listening career.

I don't think it's creepy; I'm just confused by the flower part. Shouldn't they maybe have tried teaching the computer what lights and ornaments are first?

I mean, you could just as easily make the case that recent current events argue for exposing little girls to female characters in positions of political power, even if that power is hereditary.

Well, that seems to raise the question: is it that she's not an interesting enough character, or is it just that she doesn't really come with any cool peripherals?

I think you could get an audience for Into the Woods, but the movie's too recent, and I don't know that the network would be comfortable with the second half.

Don't they still give Inez the crown in the movie, though?

I'd look at absurdist and existentialist stuff. Anything whether the characters slowly go mad because logic appears to have been repealed. Plus, you can usually keep the production fairly simple. Maybe A Man for All Seasons, too?

Or on a more serious note, Cabaret.

A fleshed-out version of Dr. Horrible, but that's really not going to happen. Um. Let's see. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, maybe? The movie's not so iconic that it would feel pointless, and they could borrow from the recent Broadway revival for the staging.

I still say the only logical conclusion to this whole thing is the Rock running in on the oath of office.
