If anyone ever proposes to me in this sort of mass public situation, I’m running for the hills. It’s the sort of casual emotional blackmail that usually means they have bodies under the patio and bags of lye in the garage.

A perfect place for French & Saunders absolutely pitch perfect Abba parody video.

I’m not sure of the use of rape in the second season was much different (or better) than the first? It was also about giving motivation to the child produced via the rape, rather than being concerned with the victim.

Murphy’s “difficult” need to display gratuitous sexual violence was there from the start.

I adored the second season, mainly because Jessica Lange and Lily Rabe were absolutely owning the Earth in TV acting at the time.

When I with about watching The West Wing... all that endless work product, rushing to cram in speech writing and policy and juggling world affairs...

Whenever I see one of those sinister and unnatural blue-white smiles out in the wild, I swear I can hear the Battlestar Galactica version of All Along the Watchtower humming background, sounding the Cylon alarm.

IKEA’s free replacement parts is unusually extreme though.

This is essentially how crew hammocks work on sailing ships to mitigate rolling. 

And bizarrely for Youtube, the comments are wonderful.

It should be immortalised in the British Museum for future generations.

If you haven’t seen it, David Gest was also in the finest Big Brother moment of all time.

Given his weight and age, it could also be mini-strokes (or both, of course).

And an email chain from 2001 was also just released, in which Kavanaugh and his friends discuss a bro bonding trip and made jokes about a boat named Su Ching. (“Although you may be hoping that I’ve lined up a hostess for a rub-n-tug massage session, ‘Su Ching’ actually is the sailboat,” Kavanaugh’s friend wrote.).…

That can also act as a clue in the opposite direction: who would wish to implicate Pence?

Given he died when 37, and WIlliam Dafoe is 63, I’m not sure how much he can actually look like him...

Or his speechwriter is screaming, but doesn’t realise his tone of voice is distinctive.

A third possibility: it’s Pence’s senior aide and speechwriter.

“Lodestar” is a niche, unusual word.... that Pence uses all the fucking time.

It’s quite likely that he’d need a soft introduction to suddenly having wealth - in exactly the same way they do for lottery winners.

My dentist refuses to whiten teeth outside the natural range (which is standard to do in Hollywood, for example), because it looks absurd.
