"Goddamn, these people are confusing."

I mean, everyone at that rally seems to be a piece of shit, but I'll admit I chuckled.

It's a good 'un! I'd put "your blood may have Laura's fingerprints on it" somewhere in the running as well.

So he's essentially the Jerry Horne to Trump's Dumbest Timeline Ben?

All that egomaniacal hot air would be enough to cause a considerable explosion in itself.

Indeed. I don't see Donald having the discipline to observe the superficialities, though. He can't even pay convincing lip service to Christianity, so it's hard to envision him fitting in with an organization that demands a constant public show of repression and reverence (even with private watersports as incentive).

It crossed my mind as soon as I heard, but the old cynicism is kicking into overdrive these days. If this is what comes of a meeting with allies, I don't even want to think about shit like North Korea. Thanks for the nightmares, Seth!

I've been in the "fuck Chuck" camp for a while now, but it was impossible not to empathize during the supermarket ordeal.

For all their ideological repulsiveness, the Sons of Jacob maintain a front of decorum and piety that would render the short-fingered vulgarian persona non grata. I imagine he'd go for the grab and wind up with a stump.

I think at the time this was announced I was just happy anybody remembered the game. Either GOG and Steam

Well, uh, not really. After all, he did get together with George Peppard.

I was going to bring up Dead Man in his defense, but I guess that would just feed into your point.

Slightly OT, but remember how Paul Verhoeven made noise about possibly adapting Jordan Mechner's The Last Express a few years back? That sounded a lot more promising than this looks. Needs more Firebird.

Here's hoping! If not, I've got my fingers crossed that Harry's illness is purely a narrative contrivance and Ontkean really is just chilling on a Hawaiian beach…

I never heard it first-hand (she probably behaved herself when I was within earshot), but apparently my grandmother would occasionally come out with something vague about "the Jews." And she honestly was a sweet woman otherwise. Has a lot to do with upbringing, I guess, but you'd still hope that at a certain point the

She wasn't real great about thinking before speaking. I painfully recall many a time when she'd be talking at me in the parking lot after closing while I "yep, uh-huh, okay"-ed my way, inch by inch, to the car.
