You've got the wrong movie. It's "Bob Roberts," the Tim Robbins film, that's the one you want. It even has the fake assassination gambit.

Yet you should always know your enemy better than you know your friends.

Bill Nye is hated by Creationists. They don't want their kids educated in science, just in the Bible.

There's lots of incest in the Bible. Abraham (ne Abram) married his half-sister, and consider what the Noah's Ark swingers had to get up to, to repopulate the entire planet in a couple of hundred years.

Is there any spectacle more rewarding and entertaining than seeing religious people fighting over money? Given their predilection for ripping normal people for being too materialistic.

No "The Family"? In which the members of a big Italian family play against each other for a million dollar prize?
It had George Hamilton! It had Susan Lucci! It had the same lettering for the title as The Godfather!
It was funny and ridiculous, just a good time.

Stepford Libertarian! I have my Hallowe'en costume!

Please, someone—take the collected works of Sean O'Neal's Newswire posts about Labeouf and read the posts out loud to said Labeouf. By "Wrinkled Sack," the effect should be better than tears.

All lie detector results are unreliable. That's why you should never be coerced into taking one. Never.

"Cracker" has a different meaning in the southern US. It was "a creepy-ass cracker," not "a creepy ass-cracker."

Allow me to suggest sampling some Atheist Experience clips on youtube. It's a cable show out of Austin, TX (Austin is to Tx as matter is to anti-matter). Some of the callers have to be heard to be believed, unless you live in the Bible Belt, and then you already know.

And by "2-3 decades" you mean about 15 years? Do you measure in dog years?

I had a classmate do that, only I don't remember the song/artist he copied. I was the only person who recognized it—and I kept my mouth shut, except for my "best friend" of the time.

I haven't been here all that long (started regularly with Rabin's My Year of Flops), and when this redesign started, my regular log in was gone. I had to log in via Facebook (as I am again today, since my regular ID is gone again), and I'm still unhappy about the changes.
With my regular ID, just before the change…

Green Acres is still one of the most surreal shows ever as well as being under-appreciated.

So it's the Beverly Hillbillies, minus the sophistication.

"the directorial deBeout of Shia LaBeouf"
Sublime.

Perhaps LeBeouf was shooting for a job at NYT?

I didn't know who Walker was, either, but he was a decent guy who was put out to work early to help support his family, had a wife and kids, and was associated with a charity.
Whether or not you knew or liked or respected him as an actor, you betray yourself by mocking his untimely death.

"This day in AV Club history"
