No mention of <i>Jaws</i>? I’ve not read the book, but I gather it had lengthy and tedious side plots about Hooper (Richard Dreyfus in the movie) having an affair with Ellen Brody, and the mayor being involved with the mob....

A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money.
Adding another dimension to the spectrum - we should also have to consider how far back in time the incident is. We have to be open to the possibility that people can change, and even atone by their actions for a transgression.
Only 70 - 90% of the hookers hired peed on the bed?
Hey, Alabama, you know, if you want to secede again.....
Now playing
ALCOHOL IS FREE!!
Like El Presidente?
Go look up John Cena and the Make-a-Wish Foundation....
I really really doubt they could have gotten the episode out so soon after this year’s election, but....
There actually is a sub-genre of alternate history fiction that posits that a “libertarian” faction took over the US soon after the Revolution (see “Shay’s Rebellion” and the “Whiskey Rebellion”)
No mention of Lisa Simpson? (see episodes “Bart to the Future” and “The President Wore Pearls”)
So, this show is what “X-Files” would have been if it were a comedy?
But does their Lemons+Limes mix go well with gin?
Fish go to the bathroom in it.
I honestly don’t know what to think anymore. Is *every* guy a jerk when it comes to dealing with women?

At what point does mere flirting…
I still want to know WHY it’s ALWAYS “Penne” alla vodka. I can understand why you don’t have Penne alla gin, but why not Ziti rigati? Mostaccioli? Elbows?
Don’t forget that your local library no doubt has subscriptions to the local newspaper (and probably a few national ones like the NY Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal) and dozens of magazines, too. And they’ll keep back issues....
This act of stupid outrage brought to you by the same people who want to ban the first “Where’s Waldo?” book from school libraries because in the beach scene, there’s a topless woman. Well, she’s laying on her stomach with her bikini top untied, and is tilting her head up to (presumably) yell at someone who has just…
And the Dems and Liberals need to realize that now is not the time to argue over the exact direction for the party in the future, or who should lead the party in 2020. You don’t talk about renovating your kitchen while the house is on fire.
Maybe I’m just not sufficiently well-read when it comes to short fiction, but I can’t think of a genre other than SF where the *editors* are held in high regard.
