When I was in college, I tried to write something wondering what TV would be like if it did what DC and Marvel did with the reboots. I wish I had finished it since it seems I was ahead of my time.

It's Alec Guinness's obit writ many times. I just hope that these actors made enough money to retire well the way Sir Alec did from Star Wars.

Yep. The love we feel for the books is not matched by critics. Or even by many King fans.

If you told me that a rich conservative anti-immigrant prime minister would end up arguing with Trump instead of echoing him before this happened, I would have laughed. But it seems like Trump has managed to alienate even world leaders who should agree with him. It's as if Trump thinks, as president of the United

Poor Buster, being compared to such a rotten person. Buster always deserved just a little better than he got. Like, you know, two hands.

There is an old saying that a prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, meaning that getting indictments is very easy. So does this mean Mueller thinks there is enough here to indictment someone like Flynn?

C+ is better than I expected.

What the hell does any of this mean, aside from "let's be snarky?"

I have my theories, but I refuse to cross that line in an online forum.

Thanks to global warming, the lakes dried up. They moved to Bolivia for some peace and quiet.

You mean his name isn't just a fabrication too?

I don't love the digital antenna much. Pictures are crisp, but also have a tendency to blip in and out. And there are some stations I can't get. (I cannot say how annoying it is that the one station I can never get is the one that shows the only over the air Mets and Yankees games.)

Yeah, as if pro golfers have sex lives.

Yeah, you can't trust golf news outlets. I mean, they claim there was a golfer named Tiger Woods. C'mon, man! That's made up name. Does he have a playing partner named Irons? A caddie named Wedge?

It's all about the clickthrough rate. At every single media site on the Web, from the NY Times to the local pennysaver.

It might be, at least on Iran. (Sanders voted no for that reason.)

Seems like this should have been two movies. The first addresses the question of using PEDs in an age where medical science is making it a lot easier to be better through drugs. And maybe it could have asked why we continue to treat such use of science as wrong.

I thought they broke up.

Honestly, that sounds like a spot on adaptation of The Gunslinger in terms of quality. It is the weakest of the books by far, but it's not bad either.

So I don't really know much about who's who in soccer. Is Neymar worth it? Will it put PSG over the top in the French and Champions leagues? Or is this calculated to increase ticket sales and other revenue? Does PSG even need that sort of boost?
