I wish that were true, but with gerrymandering being what is, the bad press that comes from a shutdown doesn't really affect these people the way it should.

I like how Boehner was all “wow, can you believe that, the Pope asked me to pray for him?” And I’m thinking “um, yeah, he said that to pretty much everyone, John..”

Seriously, I can't believe that a company with this kid of problems can still have such a high valuation. I mean, yeah, it's a good product, but how much would it cost them to do background checks on their drivers?

Seriously, the practice of leaving religious pamphlets in place of a tip should be illegal.

I don't think Pinkham is suggesting that an increase in minimum wage for fast food workers is going to fix the problem of businesses hiring illegal immigrants, though. Those are two separate issues.

When I look at that photo, all I can think is ‘that’s a lot of people being tricked into voting for a guy who embodies the entire oligarchy they’re supposedly against’. It’s actually quite brilliant, if it weren’t so sad. Guys like Trump have been hurting these people and their working class jobs for a generation, but…

I heard a former Fox News producer once say that apparently Murdoch is not really a true believer when it comes to their conservative narrative, he does it for the ratings. In this guy’s words “if someone dropped a report on Murdoch’s desk showing data that they could make more money by having a liberal bias, that…

Also, Mike Yard is a treasure.

Oh, I remember those days of people getting annoyed that we didn’t accept Amex at another shop I worked at. “What do you mean you don’t accept it? I’ll never shop here again!” Really, you don't have another card?

The people thinking they were at IHOP reminded me of a similar experience I had at my first job, which was a bookstore. Barnes and Noble had just arrived in town and we were pretty sure it was just a matter of time before we were closed. Anyway, before debit cards, it seemed like middle aged women in particular loved…

No, you’re not wrong, that guy was projecting and wanted to rub his own balls on his aunt.

To be fair, these people do suffer from a serious condition: Munchausens.

Similar, I think, but not exactly. Microsoft got in trouble for trying to force people to use their web browser, Apple Music can still be opted out of, but they're worried about the fact their pricing will be anti-competitive versus third part services. I don't agree, but I think that's the idea.

You can turn this off under settings: music: show Apple Music

I actually don’t mind Carlton sometimes when you just want a generic beer, that and I used to live in Carlton, so it was readily available. But Foster’s? No.

1. Yes, Tilda Swinton! Surprised and delighted to hear that she's in this. 2. Regarding the whiteness jokes in this and the Oscars, I guess one way to look at it is that people making those jokes are not the same people making the casting/nomination decisions that cause the racial disparity you're describing, so…

I also unashamedly enjoy a good rom com and take solace in the fact that even Tarantino is an admitted rom com lover.

I know plenty about why they believe what they do. Because they are scared, insecure, hateful people.

It’s like people have never even heard of comedy. You guys are aware this is a thing, right?

Fair point, but why is their anger not directed at the greedy factory owners for laying them off because an illegal immigrant would work for less? The illegal immigrant would not be there in the first place if people would stop hiring them.
