It’s never easy doing a sitcom episode based on religious themes - you’re going to offend *someone* no matter what. I’d say the “B” rating is for the attempt, the “minus” because they whiffed.

I challenge you to disagree:

Down at the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
Ackee, rice, saltfish are nice
And the rum is fine any time o’ year

Unless they write and call and badger them in person while they are on break for the holidays.....

And because it’s the Belchers, no one thought of going to the nearest SuperDuperMarket for some charcoal briquettes or firewood....

As a nice mind-cleanser, might I suggest listening to Chairman Schiff’s closing remarks from yesterday?

I’m still enjoying playing Civ 4 on my PC. Is that wrong?

Personally, I prefer Alice Paul for the $20 bill - but it’s too late to be able to introduce the bills on the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment....

You’ll have to admit it’s a heck of a lot cheaper to drive new or replacement parts up to a mountain observatory than it is to send a manned mission to repair a…

My “Lime Squeeze” Ford Fiesta is SO *@%$! EASY to find in a parking lot!

I’ll drink to that!

“The burden needs to be on the candidates to run better campaigns in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn, etc....”

In what ways? That you don’t have your own pet unicorn and free ice cream whenever you want it, because the conservatives prevented him from giving away the store?

Bob could have wowed the partygoers by talking about his artisinal hand-crafted Burgers of the Day.....

Sportswriter & humorist Rick Reilly has an even better response.
