But Clinton still won the popular vote in the primaries by a large margin because many Democrats are still quite moderate. It's one thing to say that he should've been the nominee, but it's a whole other thing to turn the majority of the party's ideology.

There have been a couple instances where there's a flash-forward in Dolores' arc, if the timeline theory is true, and if it is true, those would only really function as ways for Nolan to trick the viewer into discounting the theory. I still don't buy it 100%, but a lot of people called the Bernard twist. I dislike the…

I think now they actually sympathize with her, too. When Sylvester tells her that escaping would be suicidal, it's evident that he's actually worried about that. If he wasn't sympathetic, why wouldn't he let her just try to escape and get decommissioned?

I'm trying to think of a nickname as great as Meth Damon, but I'm not clever enough. Anyone have any suggestions?

He lied his way into the White House, so it won't be surprising if his proposals built on those lies also become lies. In fact, I think our best hope for the next 4 years is that his lies cancel each other out and render him useless.

In Massachusetts, it makes no difference. On my bike, I've been cut off by Priuses with Elizabeth Warren stickers and honked at by Mercedes with Scott Brown stickers. Everyone there is a Masshole.

Luckily, they don't need all of Congress. Just 50 + VP in the Senate.

Except I said "used." If I had said "uses," I could see how that could be confusing if you're actively trying to be obtuse.

I always say that Indiana is what you get when you combine the worst of the north with the worst of the south.

538 has it 50-50 right now, but the polling data is scarce and conflicting in a few important races. Most recent polls show Evan Bayh behind here in Indiana, and considering he wants to come back to the Senate after taking some years off to be an oil lobbyist, it's not really surprising. But there are a couple polls…

I know someone who's maybe around 21 or 22 years old, and he said that in his southern Indiana high school, everyone just used the n-word constantly. Like they didn't think anything of it, until they had a black student for about a year.

This might've been my favorite episode so far, but I totally agree about the fucky dialogue. And they really need to let Lee just slide into the background and not have any more speaking scenes.

I would like to see them use late 19th century music in the park itself, because clunky piano arrangements of Radiohead doesn't exactly scream "Wild West" to me. I liked the use of Debussy last week.

To address the sudden role change, it also could've involved a substitute robot being El Lazo before Lawrence was finally killed, if they had needed El Lazo before the MIB was done with Lawrence. We know from Dolores' father that switching out a robot isn't a big deal.

I still think the point when Dolores is put in sleep mode in Pariah and questioned by old Ford is a big strike against the theory. I guess you could argue that it was a flash forward, but I don't buy it.

Arranging for string quartet is easy as hell, anyway. It's the best sounding consort of instruments and the four part voicing is both analogous to SATB writing, which is used extensively in music theory education, and covers a wide range with plenty of overlap.

I think they were curious already about what the hosts are capable of and only needed an excuse to go through with it.

If you're in a large corporate environment where minding your own business and just doing what you're told is actively encouraged, I could see something as totally obvious as this happening and everyone just ignoring it. Like with Enron and Arthur Anderson, except robots.

Here in Bloomington when I get up for work at 6 am, there isn't even any light on the horizon this time of the year. I hate it.

They used to teach the Bible and lead Christian prayer in public schools. The McCarthy era happened. Being non-religious or the wrong religion could get you killed by the government/church in western Europe up through the 1940s, and can still in other places. People have been fighting the teaching of evolution in…
