There are such people on the left, to be sure. But they are not leadership or TV talking heads, as they are on the right. A leftist filmmaker, for instance, is Michael Moore, who grounds his satire in fact, something D'Souza and his all too numerous ilk can't be bothered to do in their product.

We are all Caden now.

Your apples are still not oranges. Here's a simple test you'll find useful. Try to state your argument without resort to metaphor, facile or otherwise. If you can't make your argument in literal terms alone, you have no argument whatever.

As long as we're going to dress up a perfectly fine word like "evil" in the same way evil Finns up dress birds and pigs pointlessesquely, must it be the clunky "evilness?" Why not the graduate school inflected "evility?" Or even the '70s nostalgic "evilgate?"

No Franco But Franco!

Not a reader, so I get to guess and annoy the readers, but it occurs to me how easy it would be to zombify Ned Stark, since they wouldn't need Sean Bean at all. Anybody in a chromakey headsock would do!

Is Jon taking his dog north with him, or not? If not, since Alliser got dragged, wounded, out of sight, does Ghost have the run of the castle again? Does he have the key to the meat locker that everyone else seems to have? Will he get to eat that awful Slynt fella?

You put your left behind in, you pull your right behind out,
You praise the holy smokey and you turn it all about.
You smack down the darkies if they begin to pout,
And that's what it's all about!

The Godzilla Must Be Crazy

I was so annoyed the opening credits included "Speciaol Appearance by Samuel L Jackson," or however they put it. All episode I waited for Fury to appear and rescue someone. And then he rescued everyone! Thud.

I'm going to be a science denying, woman hating, evangelical hysterical conservative for the rest of the day and maybe overnight, just to distance myself from Ray and wash the taste of his self-righteous narcissism out of my head.

"I have to wonder if budget was being conserved this week with an eye toward later episodes."

Really?! Not one vote for Alice's? But you can get anything you want!

Didn't somebody sue Ellen?

The question posed isn't so complicated, and the answer has nothing to do with politics. Single women on television routinely get engaged, married, pregnant three, four, or five seasons in because the formula their shows are built on threaten to produce thin repetitions of earlier story arcs.

I was far more disturbed LAST season by both Crassman's rape of his dozens of daughters and granddaughters and Greyboy's emasculation at the peak of his arousal. Stomach-churning, both of those, even if I am no good at names.

No mention at all of the songwriter? The great Yip Harburg? Who also wrote Lydia the Tattooed Lady?
There's a Harburg nightclub performance at the piano on cd. His rendition of this lovely song (and of 'If I Only Had a Brain') open up the subtexts like the mighty flowers they are.

If they want to make milk sexy, why don't they shave the cows?

Some monkeys deserve their bananas.
