I have my own theory (at least I haven’t seen it anywhere else) about Bran and the point of his plotline. The biggest fan theory, of course, is that Jon Snow’s real dad is Rhaegar, making Jon a Targaryen. Unfortunately there’s no one left alive who can confirm this. Enter Bran and his greenseer abilities; he can view…

Spiedies are the greatest thing to do with pork tenderloin.

Apparently not all of us take advantage of the freedom to understand sarcasm.

I didn't know that about Pixar's early years. What a great example of an organization really understanding its core competency and applying that do a new business model. Pixar's core competency wasn't making "specialized machines," but rather having the technology to "read huge amounts of data." Businesses that can…

Intolerance of any kind is unacceptable. I just believe that of the people who are still opposed to gay marriage, engagement and conversation is a better way to change minds than shouting down. And I'm not talking about the Westboro Baptist Church types, they can rot in hell. I'm talking about the "marriage is the…

Sorry, that's a bit clumsy. I'm a former non-hate-fueled-anti-gay-marriage guy turned gay marriage supporter. My stance on gay marriage ran into my foundational belief in absolute equality before the law, and first principles win out over long-held conventional beliefs.

Yeah, you're exactly right. I think the country seems so polarized on social issues is that the left tends to demonize those with whom they disagree and label any and all disagreement as "evil" or "hate." They don't realize that there are a lot of people opposed to gay marriage who at the same time are completely…

I hear ya', but I don't think we're experiencing gradual change. Just look at the changing attitudes regarding gay marriage not even within a generation, but just the last 5 years. I'll admit, I've done a complete 180 on the subject within that time, and it wasn't because people equated me with cross-burning…

Don't. Just...don't. Nowhere in America is it ok to unleash police dogs and fire hoses on homosexuals. Shit, just yesterday we had the story of an entire town in South Carolina telling the mayor to fuck off for firing the lesbian police chief.

Leave it up to those genius Middies, thank you for sharing that (I'm a West Point grad).

I used to be a huge soccer hater, but man, that killed me last night. I haven't been that devastated after any game in a long, long time.

Quite possibly the best episode ever. Soccer riot breaks out because everybody wants to leave, which leads to civil unrest and the breakdown of law and order, so Homer decides to buy a gun at Bloodbath & Beyond.

I've loved baseball for 40 years, but holy fucking shit, can some of these tools at least PRETEND that they're having fun, literally living out the dreams of millions of us? Shit.

I unexpectedly loved Dredd, much more than I thought I would. And I cannot wait for the sequel to The Raid: Redemption.

Jerry Jones just signed that dog to a 5-year, $12 million contract. The dog immediately tore all 4 ACLs.

4th biggest city, but 10th in terms of TV market. The 9 cities ahead of them have a combined 13 MLB teams, so it's more like mid-market. Financially, they probably have to behave more like the Twins or Rays than the Yankees or Dodgers.

"Where were you when I needed you?"

Talking out of turn? That's a paddlin'. Lookin' out the window? That's a paddlin'. Staring at my sandals? That's a paddlin'. Paddlin' the school canoe? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.

Add sour cream and grated parmesan cheese. You won't regret it.

That was you watching through the fence as I made ribs last week, wasn't it?
