I forget who it was but I’m pretty sure Olivier gave this exact burn to some Method actor or other:  “My dear boy, have you tried acting?”

They’ve already used all the other levels. It’s one of the main ways they've kept an undeclared class war going for the past forty years.

There are definitely Democratic nominees that are more acceptable to the Fox News crowd. In case they lose they want to do all they can to make sure it's to someone who won't do anything.  So someone like Biden won't be called a socialist until general election time.

In reference to your tweet, they need to make enough noise to disguise the fact that our ruling class wants us to not really be a first-world country anymore.  The desired endpoint is something a lot more like China.

Are you using robbery as an instance where the use of a deadly weapon does not equal murder?  Because if you are you might be in for a surprise.

I think everyone is being obtuse because you posted a statute that matches up her actions with the crime of murder and yet you are arguing that what she did was not murder.

It definitely seems like Rovell has a mental block when it comes to market pricing, doesn’t it?  He asks “what’s the fair market value” of an athlete’s endorsement, as though it isn’t precisely the role of the market to fucking figure that out.

Man I hope you bought those tickets a while ago

Do you really think Trump will continue being an outlier even after he showed the Republicans how well his bullshit worked? They thought they were dead in the water before him. It seems just as likely to me that Trumpism will be the standard Republican tactic until they find something that works better.

See, this was my reaction in 2004, after we re-elected a president who made torture an explicit national policy. 

This is where I fall as well. Similarly, in regard to Belichick being “embarrassed” by Brown, I imagine he was able rather easily to decide not to be embarrassed, and that was that.

Among the many flaws of the prequels, they also look like crap — indifferently shot and heavily reliant on bad CGI. What a weird complaint from Lucas.

Maybe Gruden is getting pressure from higher up not to start Haskins for exactly the reason you highlight with respect to a possible new coach, ie, sparing him from getting mowed down by the Pats in his first or second start. But then it’s usually a mistake to assume that the Skins front office has a plan or reason…

Seems light on new stuff in general.

I think there’s a greater danger in having a candidate who runs on this platform and wins, because they won’t fix any of the things that led to Trump in the first place. In the absence of efforts to fix those things, they will get worse, and in that case — with half the electorate effectively radicalized already — I…

Did you meet these people before or after the election?  I’m in Seattle and I’ve come across plenty of Hillary enthusiasm since the election, but I saw hardly any before.

I think there are a lot of people who hate Trump because he’s embarrassing and not because of any of the things that he says or does or believes.  

Politicians need to be able to lie in complete sentences.  This is controversial?

I kind of think the rules expert is just there to fill the interminable gaps in the game action in a way that makes the viewer feel vaguely like something is happening. Though it’s gotten to the point where just playing a loop of “Spanish Flea” might be better....

Say it with me: “Outrage machine.”
