So true. I teach 7th grade and it's too bad so many shows/movies get it so, so wrong. Everybody thinks their job would make a good movie but middle school is genuinely hilarious. A kid tried to pull my beard. One kid got caught jerking off during class (not mine!), I accidentally showed turtles fucking on youtube,…

Alabama has an elephant because it is the mascot for the University of Alabama, the Crimson Tide. That's right Bama is stupid, but more people are Bama fans than the smart people that are Auburn fans. People not from Alabama can never truly understand just how important that big dumb rivalry is. People dress like it's…

It could just be that golden hoppy lager originates from Pilsen, CZ, you know pilsner. Guess where that is. . . Bohemia.

Libertarians do tend to value ideological consistency more than practicality leading them to silly positions like international pacifism and open, unregulated borders.

Fair enough. Well done!

If you want an awesome goofball fest of rock operatude check out Hammers of Misfortune. The Bastard is epically hilarious and just plain great. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Maybe it's hardcore like Fucked Up's rock opera? Also, I like all the Mastodon concept albums, not really operas, I guess. But for Titus Andronicus, what's wrong with the idea? The Who did it and they are Mod/almost proto-punk royalty. I am totally on board even if I'm a bit skeptical of T.A.'s politics.

Anarchy, at least in the pure form is no government at all. Hobbes can tell you how that ends up. However, if someone is an "anarchist" that wants a workable path to liberty within reasonable constraints (don't murder/rape/steal/honor contracts, etc.) one should be a libertarian. I'm not, I'm more conservitarian (i.e.…

You are just dismissing any evidence that does not support your point of view. If you actually read enough journalism from non-Fox (even Fox is not 100% opinion-based) conservative publications you would see that there is plenty of evidence based opinion.

I'll agree that the Iraq case wasn't definitely proven. But we tend to forget that there were other reasons besides WMD for going. Short of a direct attack on the homeland, there will never be an obvious, provable reason to go to war. The facts that Saddam was paying suicide bombers in Israel (supporting terrorism…

Absolutely true. However, political and economic arguments are rarely able to be definitively proven. Economists are famous for refusing to give definitive answers to economic problems. Vaccines objectively, scientifically work. It's not the right that is pushing the whole autism link, btw. Acupuncture and herbalism…

This is just more of the same. You have evidence that Keynesian stimulus works? That has been the approach of the last 6 years and I would hardly say the evidence supports endorsement of that approach. There is a ton of evidence that Keynes's approach does not work long term which he famously did not care about. Many…

Your response is exactly what I was talking about. Many on the left, do take this exact tac. You are not being ideological, you're just presenting the facts and leaving out the irrational stuff. I'm sure Stewart felt he was only presenting the sensible "facts." He did have people on his disagreed with. He also edited…

The point of this column is well taken. Objectivity is a lie and it would be better if journalists were up front about their biases. However, what Stewart does is not really journalism. He is not a reporter, he's a columnist. Big difference. Daily Show does not break news it just gives its perspective on what others…

Someone may have mentioned this already. But the reviewer totally missed the best part about the code names!

The plural of medium is media. Sorry to be a grammar jerk but that one just bugs me.

Blood Machine is my fav on that album. A city underground where everyone is hooked into a machine that circulates all their blood. They want to die to escape but need someone (the narrator) to do it for them. Vangaalen is a low-fi wierdo genius on par with Phil Elvrum. He also animates his own videos like this über…

My favorite line was from Randy trying on the furry hat. "I am Russian, I like long stories. . . " Great mix of high and low brow

I've only been able to see this with Dutch subs yet. It was pretty good. But I really think that Last Life in the Universe is by far Ratanaruang's most accessible movie. I've been obsessed with his stuff since that one, I mean really, Asano Tadanobu laying low from the Yakuza in Thailand? Christopher Doyle…
