For real. "Let's be civil!" says the party whose Representative HECKLED THE PRESIDENT DURING THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.

Hear hear

Ah yes, the venerated media institution of The A.V. Club. I do recall fondly those days when Edgar R. Murrow had his first broadcast here…

I'm rewatching the BBC's Pride and Prejudice miniseries (i.e., the hunky Colin Firth version). Don't we all feel like Elizabeth Bennett right now? The sole intelligent person surrounded by nattering idiots? And like we all just got duped by Mr Wickham and he ran off with Lydia who's too dumb to even realize how bad…

As a criminal defense lawyer, I literally got nauseous when I read this sentence: "Apparently a softcore porn on Netflix [Orange is the New Black] is everyone's sole frame of reference for prison and jail, which is kind of hilarious and sad considering the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate of any nation in…
