"If people were born in the 80s, they're 30 now."

Apparently it's 400 calls reporting people missing. Still sounds like the figure could be in the triple digits, though. :(

This feels too much like validating Batman and Robin.

And Third Rock from the Sun must be shredded small intestine.

Definitely not Tim Burton's version, though.

You know you can edit comments without reposting the whole thing, right?

For those who don't agree with him, maybe, but they always have the option to not watch. As for me, if I couldn't still find things to laugh about in what's going on, I'd be even more on edge.

I think it's telling that Franken says the reason he singled Ted Cruz out in his book is because Cruz violated decorum by calling Mitch McConnell(!) a liar on the Senate floor. Even the other Republicans seem to think Ted Cruz just being Ted Cruz is reason enough.

We have thousands of years of experience trying to be humorous. Much like love or not bashing each others' heads in, getting it right is considerably more difficult.

So how do you propose we lunatic-proof our discourse without blunting it beyond all efficacy? Because the fact is, people will die if they can't get health insurance, and we'll be doing a lot of damage to the environment that might not—no, let's be honest here, probably won't—be fixable if we follow through on this…

I doubt a guy with a history of domestic violence and a seemingly monomaniacal obsession with economic policy watched Madonna or Kathy Griffin or any other celebrity and decided "well, that tears it; the only way to save the republic is to go shoot up a baseball field." Hell, he wouldn't even listen to his idol…

I think the problem is that the people complaining don't find the story or the humor compelling enough to just go with it. Like how most Lord of the Rings fans don't care about why the eagles don't show up until the end, but people who thought it was too long and boring won't shut up about it.

I don't have a problem with Larry the Cable Guy being the voice of Mater. I have a problem with the fact I find Mater's voice virtually unintelligible.

False alarm, apparently. Thank God.

It does, but I don't hate it.

No, but he was apparently alert enough to be talking before surgery.

To pick jurors, they either had to find people who are so uninformed about anything that this is the first they've heard about the case, or who read the same stories we did and still walked away going, "Gee, I don't know…" I don't have a better suggestion for making the trial fair and impartial, but I can't say I'm…

I feel like Scalise's teammates probably have a pretty good sense of what he wants.

Slow down, I've only got so many hands to cover all these bingo squares.

"It is horrifying to think that a person would target members of Congress practicing for a charity baseball game in a spirit of bipartisanship. I condemn the attack and repeat my unwavering position that violence is never the answer." - Brendan Boyle, PA
