James Gunn went through the same thing with Disney.  He had already recanted the statements, but it wasn’t enough.

I’ve said it elsewhere, but while everyone thinks Eric is Fredo, he’s taking notes.  He’s going to be the one who flips for Meuller and lays the whole thing out.  He’s going to get the keys to the Trump Organization once everyone else is in jail.  It would be hilarious if he’s quietly competent and turns the…

The thing I like most about this story is it’s capitalism in action. No one wants to buy, much less distribute, a hateful product. The funding dries up and he producer is forced to shutter the business.

HamNo with a half-baked idea? That doesn’t follow.

It may even come to the point where Meuller has enough on the whole of the Trump org and a an agreement to resign/don’t run comes of it. They all go back to being private citizens to “take care of the business” with maybe a couple wins to show for it.

It’d be hilarious if Eric was the family member that topped the whole institution. They all think of him as Fredo; but he’s in the corner, taking notes & remembers everything.  Rather than go to jail with the family that hates him, he paves the way for them all to fall and he gets the keys to what’s left of the Trump…

I have “Generation of Sociopaths” on my reading list.  As a Gen-Xer, I can’t wait for the olds to move along, but thanks to medical technology, they are going to hang in and screw over my kids and leave my grandkids to pay for it so they can get their viagra and Matlock.

The issue with that is if California, New York, and Texas get together and decide to turn South Dakota into the official US landfill, there’s fuck all South Dakota can do about it. Those three states alone would be able to carry the majority of just about any action.  That’s the point of the bicameral body, to prevent…

That’s only for a slice of the patients. Think about laser eye surgery. This happens thousands of times a day. Because its not a direct part of health care and isn’t generally covered by insurance, it’s a very market driven system. You can compare and contrast results, cleanliness, and price between providers. The bad…

Try teaching.  You have to pay the university to teach a semester at the grade level you are specializing in.  Then, pay to take a test.  Once the test is passed, you pay to get a license. 

I’ve said something similar on other posts.  They need a few cycles in the woods to get some time to think and maybe come back to principals rather than just clinging to power.  Classic conservatism can appeal to marginalized groups as it calls for order, valuing diversity over oneness, and prosperity through…

There have been a number of post-mortems for GOP losses, many of them cited here, that point to Trump specifically.  The leadership is choosing to be ignorant of his impact.  Their sticking their head in the sand hoping Trump can rally the base plus moderates again in 2020 to keep them in power.  Unless something…

What’s been the corresponding CPI increase during this time? With some crude math, we’ve seen ~11% increase in consumer goods. The past three year have all been <2% increases. Has these increased actually benefited workers, or are they paying more because they are paid more? Have the low wage workers increased their…

Don’t forget Hinkley (Erin Brockovitch). I lived out there for a few years and man were those people messed up.  But, PG&E spread some money around and the issue went away.  These guys have been scum for years.

If Bank Of America erroneously deposits $1M into my account, I withdraw it all, and spend like a drunken sailor, it’s no big deal. BoA can afford it, they made $22.8 Billion last quarter. No harm done, right?

It sounds like he’s pouting. It’s like a 14 year old who’d really getting his sulk on.

I recently started doing chicken strips on Eggos as a poor man’s chicken & waffles. A little siracha-maple-mayo with a slice of cheddar and it’ll get you by in a pinch.

You’d think someone with even an iota of self-awareness would take the info that if a known hate site sees you an ally/champion, you might want to re-evaluate yourself.  Either he’s too up his own ass to do this or he accepts it for what it is and is happy about it.  If he’s not willing to make that change, he’s…

I’m constantly seeing shows about making knives or racing street rods on the gym TV that I don’t think exist in the real universe.

I live in western PA and have been introducing The Office to my kids.  We didn’t live here during the Office’s first run, so its fun seeing all the Wegmans brand stuff they had to drag into California just for background.
