There's a difference between criminalizing mental illness and criminalizing acts taken because of mental illness. Doing the latter can be problematic; doing the former is fundamentally wrong.

yes

And 1.

And like Homicide, it's about rich white people . . . wait.

It's pretty easy to make the point when you selectively choose characters. Counter: Father, Tommy, Sebastian Blood, Yao Fei—all dead and not coming back. When you actually consider all the characters, it basically an even split.

So, five months late to the party here. Is it weird that the part of this episode I focused on was the fight in the tunnel—because why did a bunch of archers charge into a pitched hand-to hand combat battle instead of just standing back and unleashing volleys of arrows?

This show just doesn't understand the concept of an independent judiciary.

It's a terribly nuanced concept. And I'll admit to using it incorrectly myself on multiple occasions. My issue is mostly when people use the word in an obvious attempt to sound smarter than they are, as if declaring something ironic is the height of knowingness. Like is done is almost every hatesong column.

While Tim Cook held you down.

"Bono has the worst line in “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and he’s not American, but he’s the guy that sings, “Tonight, thank God it’s them instead of you.” It’s a relief song raising money for Africa—which, first of all, we consider to be just one country—and that’s the only relief song that includes a line about…

I think we're approaching literally.

She could leak the tape, but if they figured out that she recorded it, which considering it's a two person conversation, she's likely getting arrested.

Exactly. I'd like to see a more realistic storyline, where the character runs, performs competently, and loses by the expected 10-15 points on election day because of demographics.

Alicia is more narcissist than feminist. Her deciding to run is less about advancing women in government in general than if is massage of her ego that "she" is a good person. Just go back and listen to that exchange—everything is "I" and "me" and "you are."

So, basically The Good Wife is The Wire for white people who want to watch narcissistic, privileged white people solve their pretend problems without the distractions of all those pesky black folks?

Oh, it's by far the most interesting thing they've ever produced.

You should stare at the Merriweather Post Pavilion cover. That fucker shimmers.

Hmm, I had three and a writing class each semester first year. CivPro, Crim, and Torts first semester; Contracts, Property and an elective second semester.

Probably the fourth is a writing class. I'll give them a pass on ConLaw; some schools (good ones) just have it as a grad requirement you can take at any time.
