Are all the people freaking out about this on Twitter 9 years old? Because the simulated-fellatio-on-the-microphone move has been a thing since the microphone was invented. Tina Turner did it in Madison Square Garden in 1968, to cite just one example.

I’m sure Megyn will be able to fill her time by calling the police every time she sees a black person...do anything.

Fun fact from a (former) textbook editor: Because of how Texas adopts textbooks—they buy them all at once, as a state—it represents a HUGE chunk of money for publishers, so they have to go all in on what Texas wants. Only California and Florida can hold quite that much sway. Depending on the year of your child’s…

He’s already painted it green, put it on airbags, and failed to sell it at auction. Now it’s stuffed full of Gas Monkey shirts, tequila, g-strings, butt plugs, and whatever the hell else he puts his name on these days.

I’m trying--and failing--to remember the last wedding I went to that didn’t cause and/or exacerbate a blood feud.

Well, at least now she’ll have more time to protect the sanctity of marriage on her own terms...by going through 6 or 7 more divorces/marriages.

Calling General Sherman.  We need you to make another pass down through Georgia, sir.  Please make sure Eagle’s Landing is on your route.

The Mahk-cycle.

I am not a lawyer on TV or the internet, so O.K., they didn’t think they could make the case for sexual assault, but I’m confused how this still isn’t just straight up assault and battery. (I’m assuming that would carry a harsher penalty than just harassment.)

Yeah, all of these “experts” that were being asked who said, “Well, maybe he can just do whatever he wants to the constitution?” were making me feel like I took crazy pills. I remembered pretty clearly from sixth grade civics that changing the Constitution is a big. fucking. deal. The President can’t just run down…

Interestingly, your argument is very similar to why the APA rejected defining racism as psychopathology. Because of the predominance of racism in American culture (and others), they considered it a cultural issue rather than one of psychopathology. In other words, the behavior was part of “normal” (not good, but…

I have no doubt they are mentally ill, but America has no way to treat them.

Yup, when I saw the “Stronger Than Hate” Pittsburgh graphic show up, I immediately thought of “Boston Strong,” and then I realized it’s only a matter of time before pretty much every city has their own...survivor graphic, I guess you’d call it? (Note: I’m not making fun of it. I’m just sad about what causes their…

To be fair, CR’s methodology has pretty much always been a mix of the reasonable and the insane. I remember WAY back in the day being surprised that our family car (a fun little late-70s Scirocco) got dinged by CR because the non-power windows took one or two more cranks to close than similar cars tested.

They’re just going to fold it into the Fast and Furious franchise. Fast and Purgeous.

Step 3. Complain like a bratty 12-year-old when “the best comment” isn’t chosen for COTD.  Because it’s obviously intended as a completely objective measure of humor and cleverness.

That’s a fair point.  My original comment was much broader, but then I realized I’d be excluding someone from being a Congressman because they got busted carrying a joint in college.

Like in the Chris Hardwick kerfuffle, I’m fascinated that somebody’s willing to make death threats to someone over a D-list show host. If either of these guys disappeared from TV forever, would anyone truly give a shit? I mean, sure, “bad woman accuses innocent man, internet warriors unite!” is certainly a factor, but…

Kinda seems like we should have a law that prevents people convicted of violent crimes from holding any office above dog catcher. Misdemeanor or not, if you’ve been convicted of something with “assault” in its description, you should be legally forced to go away.

I believe so.  Mother under the bed, sons in a state of...genetic decay, we’ll say?
