Well, yeah, but that’s just built into the economy-class penalty. Armrest wrestling, seat-reclining jihad, and infectious-disease bingo are all part of the fun!

1) On American, anyway, WiFi used to stream the in-flight entertainment is free; there’s only a fee if you want the big internet as well.

Even the bones of Billy Sherman provide for the brutal smackination of Atlanta. Wild.

Yeah, my rule is: if you’re putting me in a helicopter, I’d better be dying without the ride, because there’s an unacceptably high risk of me dying with the ride.

I just do not understand people sometimes. I mean, OK, if someone you’ve known for a long time presented as one gender for most of that time and then changes, it can be tough to fully grok the change at first, decent people will slip up, and decent people will forgive honest mistakes.

You’re in good company; pretty sure Brett Hull has been both drunk and singing (well, “singing”) Gloria since they vaudeville-hooked him off the victory rally stage.

I know no one who can walk a straight line stone-cold sober as consistently as Biles does airshow tricks. The equilibrium is just unreal.

If you’re gonna commit a series of major flag-code violations, better to make them MAJOR flag-code violations, I guess.

My premise was principally “make a glib internet joke,” in point of fact.

More likely than “too much porn” does not mean objectively likely.

Yesh, but, I mean ... have you LOOKED at humanity lately? Something done fucked us all the way up—though “not enough porn” is by far a more likely culprit than “too much porn.”

Eh, this is all pretty standard. Obama’s first ambassador to the U.K. was very proud of his 1982 World Series ring (he was Gussie Busch’s lawyer and on the board of the Cardinals). Not a bad guy but that’s hardly a qualification.

I have precheck rights from a few different sources: Global Entry, which cost me $100, and a top-secret clearance, which cost the taxpayer God knows how much.

Having flown JAL first class, I’m now spoiled for business class.

Many if not most first-degree murder charges are based on statutory carve-outs. What you’re describing is often called felony murder: if you commit a violent felony (like robbery) and someone dies in the event, you can be charged with 1st-degree even if you never meant to kill anybody (including such cases as where a…

I can’t get past him think Swedish people are “swarthy.”

Miller still thinks life is a high school forensics tournament. Which is bad enough when you’re actually in high school forensics, but as a grown-ass man, oy. So very pathetic.

Nah, he offered to do it for free, thereby undercutting the hardworking Americans doing the job now.

Nonimmigrant visas, to be far too fair.

I am convinced Miller got beat up a lot as a kid.
