Charlotte is the best because it has a Bojangles. Man, I miss Bojangles.

In the doc, you’re brutally honest on Sanders: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.” That assessment still hold?

I keep going back and forth on the B9 and C9. The price difference is about $200, which is miniscule over the timeframe I’m planning on keeping my next TV. I like the idea of being a little more future-proofed, but I also like not spending more than I need to. Glad to hear the B9 picture is still great. Either way, it

Toys ‘R Us was turning a yearly profit when Bain Capital (Mitt Romney’s old firm) yes, saddled them with debt, as part of the leveraged buyout. Bain, Vornado, and KKR spent 6.6 billion dollars to purchase the company from the previous owners (1.3 billion that they actually provieed, the rest being debt incurred by the

No. The equity firms never once had any risk as it was never their money in play. The 2005 leveraged buyout wasn’t a bunch of guys taking out a loan to buy a business and then hoping that business would product a profit so they could pay their loan. They took ToysRUs private by loading it up with $5 billion in debt.

When that bit started I thought it was dumb, but as he builds it up it gets funnier and more incisive.

I have a little trouble with the idea that a performer can be more wooden than Jerry Seinfeld.

His specials also feel very writerly, rather than going for a loose, off the cuff comedy-club vibe.  

Brian Williams said he was there when Michael wrote the piece

I’m sure that’s what the custodial staff was doing this whole time.

This is fucking awful. That video really makes me wish whoever is in charge of this garbage should know better.

very cool we live with millions of fucking lunatics who think shit like this 

Finally someone has a good reason for Buick to still exist.

What a fucking dirtbag. I hope he gets hit in the nuts with a Buick.

I’m still holding out hope that Feige creates a Heavyweights / Camp Nowhere / The Mighty Ducks crossover.

I did not know that Heavyweights was a Disney property, but I now know what I’m watching first.

Looks like Peterson finally learned not to go for the switch.

I wish they’d just let that shit go and not thrown at Acuna. Beating the snot out of them in the 1st inning on their own turf was enough “payback” for Game 1 or whatever.

Being kind in general is a good thing! But certain people are awful and have done nothing to deserve kindness. GWB is one of those people.

I guess the point is, what is the expectation for Ellen here? Would it have been better for her to scream “you are a war criminal!” at Bush and then spit in his face?
