The new simplified tax plan: play Three Card Monte against Steven Mnuchin. Find the Queen, and you get to keep all of your money!

The cool kind, like the X-Men? Or the bad kind, like in every other fictional appearance?

I disagree. I think nearly everyone gets into politics because they want to help people.

Bad people need the MOST principles!

He might be good, but he's no ONESHOT TWOCUPS.

I'm not arguing that it's impossible to eat healthily and not break the bank, I'm saying it's a lot harder to eat healthy when money and/or time is an issue. Yes, there are lots of short cuts and ways to help yourself out. But a lot of those shortcuts involve foods loaded with sodium (canned soup, for instance) and…

Poor people are more likely to be fat because cheap food is unhealthy.

Right, which is why it's so annoying to me - it's a ridiculous strawman to suggest that people are paying for $19 avocados, and that's why they can't afford a house. However, eating healthy IS far more expensive than eating junk food.

I can't help but feel particularly annoyed by the fact that avocados are really good for you, and food shaming is now a pretty popular pastime to throw at the working poor. "How dare you eat fancy, vitamin-laden fruits and vegetables while working an entry-level job? Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make do…

"You're throwing your money away!" - the people who want to sell you fucking houses

What I really wonder is, what would the Democrats have said if Obama did it?

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. Her rebellious, drug-using, black culture-fetishizing phase was so clearly, painstakingly calculated that Miley could show it to a math teacher and get full credit for showing all of her work.

My daughter is 10, and apparently has ice running through her veins, because I keep showing her PG-13 horror films and she shrugs them off like they're nothing. I need to up the ante here, and I'm not gonna willingly show her bad movies, so … what choice do I have?

I think it's often the case that the creator can forget, or mis-interpret, what fans actually connected with when they first found success. But yeah, it tends to get a bit frighteningly personal when the creators have trouble capturing that lightning in the bottle later on. Most people don't ever get that lucky.

And even THAT might have been cool, if the movies had been built like a mystery. Who is the shadowy mastermind pulling the strings behind both factions, pulling the galaxy into war? You would, of course, have to restructure the plot and characters of all three movies, in order to re-emphasize the importance of finding…

I dunno, "Rome" did it pretty well. Granted, HBO tends to punctuate their political maneuvering and decadent malaises with lots of nudity …

Right. Everyone who thinks they want to live through a zombie apocalypse is also, like, super annoyed when their wifi goes down. I'm not trying to be Rick Grimes over here, man, I just like TV shows.

An orange in one mouth, a clementine in the second, smaller mouth.

This is really neither here nor there, but man … as good as The Legend of Korra is, it's almost MORE disappointing than straight-up bad things like the Star Wars or Aliens prequels. Because it's not QUITE as good as it could have been.

What, you're not looking forward to "Henry V" giving the St. Crispin's Day speech over a hip-hop montage, or the witches from Macbeth casting spells via overcranked slo-mo?
