I mean, creme brûlée is a pretty well established dish at this point, he really wanted to go to battle on that? I would have said "I trust my pastry chef."

I disagree, that archetype goes further back, I would say to Marco Pierre White at least. Bourdain is the first one that comes to mind for more people, though, because he's more well known. And what's funny is he's not even a chef any more, and hasn't been for years.

I think it depends on the industry. I work in tech and I generally wear jeans and a button down shirt every day, but nicer jeans and never a t shirt. I mean, Apple is the most profitable company in the world, and they've got people doing keynote presentations in jeans.

how can you claim to be libertarian and be anti-choice? That alone makes my head explode.

thank you for this, and to be honest, this did surprise me. I was expecting to read a bunch of horrible tweets from actual CPAC attendees about the rapture hasn't arrived yet because gays or something. Actually, I'm sure those tweets are out there.

I have never met an atheist Republican, and don't expect to meet one any time soon.

I'd be interested to hear the stats on those who claim to be libertarians but are really just conservatives who don't want to be labeled such because they know it's despicable. I'm thinking of a friend of mine.

oh, you're right, I take that back. Clearly the Academy is not opposed to a bit of gore.

am I wrong in assuming that Pike didn't win because of the horrific murder scene in Gone Girl, and the Academy didn't want to be seen as rewarding that? Personally, I thought her performance was excellent, but that scene was over the top. Sort of essential to illustrate the point of how um, dedicated she was to her…

I think Selma was doomed to live up to the expectations that 12 Years A Slave set last year. I haven't seen it, but is it possible it just wasn't as good a film as 12 Years was? I think a lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that the Academy is racist when really history suggests otherwise, as recent as last…

I thought so too. If nothing else, the opening bit, Glory and Lady Gaga made the whole thing watchable. Oh, and Tegan and Sara, though I didn't see the Lego movie, so I felt like I wasn't fully getting it.

I think it's still developing. I don't think it will ever be as laugh out loud funny as Colbert, but I do like the panel format, he has an opportunity to talk about real things there. Not that Colbert didn't do that as well, but you get what I mean.

spot on. I actually found Wilmore's bit funnier, but Stewart did a better job of illustrating what a terrible hypocrite Guiliani is. This is why I'll miss Stewart so much.

yeah, I'm all for making fun of Gamergate, but I can think of maybe 100 ways this guy could have gone about it more intelligently and without causing her more stress than she's already experienced.

this reminded me of Amy Holmes on Larry Wilmore's show recently, when she was asked during the 'keep it 100' segment if she were Speaker Of The House and the President spoke about equal pay for women, would she stand up and clap, and she said no. That tells me everything I need to know about the Republican party. How…

doesn't Keebler have a knock off version of Samoas? I can't remember what they're called, but I've seen them at the grocery store.

fair enough

I can relax whether the shops are open or not, that's not what I'm saying. What bothers me is that this is American style capitalism infecting another country. One of the great things about France is that it's not America, people actually have a life outside of work. Oh, but the tourists might go shopping in London if…

so did Mussolini.

I get that, and the shopping in Paris is great, but really, people can't get by without shopping one day out of the week? It just bothers me that one of the great things about Europe, the laid back attitude towards work and life in general is being sacrificed in the name of retailers making more money. It's France,…
