“Woken up from your dream yet? These aren’t your typical refugees. They are essentially moslems relocating from the effects of their intolerant religion. (yes “intolerant” compared to any other religion in the modern age so spare us comparisons to 500 hundred years ago). They won’t assimilate in with the others in…

“You know, not everyone who has a difference of opinion from your own is pushing an “agenda.””

“Calling the Syrian civil war complicated highly obfuscates some obvious truths... [goes on to describe the overlap and interplay of multiple factions with multiple interests] ... In any event it is simple.”

“The fact that she thinks people just don’t get the jokes (based in her refusal to have to explain them) is really condescending. Maybe people who are critical of her “jokes” get them... But they aren’t funny.”

“Good Lord, people really took offense with Krakowski’s character arch?”

It’s been a while since I saw someone successfully set up their own two-comment joke. I give you my star freely and lament that it is only one.

Strangers in a strange land!

Well, I’ve never been ‘vetted’ on Jalopnik. I’m merely an occasional visitor here. Not much of a gearhead — unless we’re talking Star Wars. :)

I got mah nerd on, there, didn’t I? :) Glad someone noticed!

Obi-Wan was droid-illiterate. Lightsabers, fighting bounty hunters, leaving apprentices for dead; that’s stuff he knew. Droids, not so much.

“I feel bad for the pilot of this X-wing.”

Is the one in the middle on its way to yoga class?

io9 has been talking about Wood Rocket’s parody pornos for quite a while, now. So, there you go. At least two porn sites.
