Or, alternatively, “Please stop taking everything I said completely and totally out of context in order to use me as your borrowed authority to shit on a man I really liked working with.”

Anne, I have to say that usually I love the depth and analysis of your writing, but this piece was just...there was something more personal to it for me that really resonated.

Hey, a walking dead article!

Thank you, Sean. Please do more of these.

I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to consistently destroy the competition only to have judges score you lower.

It’s an anthology show, each episode is a self-contained story, usually about technology and the way humanity abuses it and each other. The quality, of course, depends on the episode, but they’re usually good to amazing with only one or two episodes I would qualify as mediocre or bad.

There was a Sammy subplot? Sorry, I must have been distracted by... something.

For me, Blue Jasmine with Cate Blanchett. Before that Melinda and Melinda.

And I ate the onion that was tied to my belt, which was the style at the time.

Let me help you here. The only real evidence of Franken being sleazy is him miming honking a coworker’s breasts in what has been shown to be a bawdy atmosphere where the accuser herself instigated and engaged in sexually suggestive jokes. Ted Bundy killed and raped the dead bodies of young women. Having a hard time…

As someone who actually knows Senator Franken, the idea that he makes inappropriate jokes isn’t at all surprising. The idea that he’s a serial assaulter, however, is very suspect.

“Not enough people talk about...”

why would they do that? Its one thing to fire him, another to erase him. If he did part of it, his name should be there.

Franken is a decent guy. Decent people have flaws and make mistakes. Franken is a good Senator and worked hard to make the world a better place. Just because he did something stupid and awful doesn’t make him some woman hating monster. It makes him a flawed human being.

“Tread lightly who lives in hope of pussy.”

Man, that horse you are riding on desperately needs some water.

Pretty sure nobody was planning to ask that, but everybody still appreciates your hot take. I’m not sure what we’d do without you to bravely tell us how it really is. Thank you for your service.

For the record, nobody who’s not trolling the message board thinks that.

Old Republic sounds like a clothing store where you buy affordable wind-breakers and polo shirts.

I think viewing it as a front assumes he knows he’s acting/lying. I think people, even these creepy, criminal men in all these stories, are complex. I’m sure many of his feminist beliefs and pro-women rhetoric come from a real, genuine place of support. They just also come from a conflicted, flawed man who also did…
