That occurs amongst some on the right who proclaim that conservatism is “the new punk” as well. It shows, as was said above, a “[conflation of] contrarianism with bravery and intellectualism.” Punk, as an ideology, is contrarian, but the punk rockers themselves, guys like Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and Henry Rollins…

Super Long Comment Warning:

Honestly that’s the problem with everything Steven Moffat does. He thinks that he’s very very clever. When Moffat is on his game he’s right, and can make something that shouldn’t really work into legitimately amazing TV. But when he’s not firing on all cylinders he comes off as a smart aleck who’s more concerned with…

Not really. The left doesn’t really do the whole cult of personality thing in the same way as the right because it’s a fundamentally different coalition. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen, but the left hasn’t deified anyone, even JFK or FDR, like the right has with Reagan.

An idiot. The book on his life is going to to be called “How can one guy be so wrong so many times? I mean seriously, even a blind squirrel has to find a nut eventually, right?: The Larry Kudlow Story”

A hamburger is a sandwich, but is not called one (i.e. it is not a “hamburger sandwich) because it has become great enough that it has transcended the label and created its own category. It’s like a Philly Cheesesteak; 100% a sandwich, but anyone who calls it a “Philadelphia Steak and Cheese Sandwich” is a heathen…

As much as I hate his approach to food I’ve got to give him some respect, since he seems to be a pretty stand up guy. Most of the restaurants on his show end up with massively increased sales, and on one occasion he helped one restaurant rebuild after a fire, which can easily drive a place out of business.

As far as I’m concerned the Mad Max series is 4 for 4. Yes they were all very different films, but they were all amazing. And I want as much Mad Max as possible.

One of my favorite bits of comedy from recent years is Eric Andre’s This Ain’t Your Mama’s Monologue, in which he pokes fun at “edgy” comics who aren’t actually edgy. Comics who actually have an edge are often able to make a point in a way that only comedy can. Comics who are “edgy” are usually hacks, using the fact…

And you could guarantee at least one Yankee Stadium/Citi Field doubleheader a year, which is awesome as a fan.

Federally it is legal for a private employer to fire a person for just about any reason, a person who is photographed at a protest could lose their job. Until such time as we institute strong employment protections for all workers it is sensible to want to cover your face at a protest.

The correct answer to best old sports guy is Gordie Howe. He played in the NHL All Star Game at 51 years old, and he looked old too. His combination of age, looks, and just being one of the best players in NHL history puts him at the top of that list.

I think the idea is that, just like how a song or movie can be so bad that it actually becomes good, repeating the joke after it’s not funny is supposed to make the joke funny again. No idea if it works.

Ken Holland traded Brendan “Riding the Pine in the AHL” Smith for a 2nd and a 3rd round pick. I wouldn’t call that lackluster. I mean the Wings have so many picks in the upcoming draft that its nuts.

“Wawawaaaaaa the Confederacy lost the Civil War and 153 years later I’m still bitching about it.” Conservatives went off on Obama for not wearing a tie in an interview once. They started paranoid conspiracy theories about his place of birth. They started paranoid conspiracy theories that millions of people voted…

Methodist ministers with a doctorate are given the honorific “Reverend Doctor”, so that’s the correct one, though “Reverend Doctor”, “Reverend” or “Doctor” would all be appropriate.

I’m starring it because Doris is right.

This joke is an offense to the abstract concept of humor. In fact this joke is so bad that it actually makes all other jokes that have ever been told less funny by the fact that they involve the same concept attempted here.

Not even close. Donald Trump might be the Joe Fulks of political nicknames, if we’re being charitable, but I’d say he’s more like the John Mahnken of political nicknames.

Return of the Killer Tomatoes. They ran out of money halfway through, requiring product placement to pay for the rest of the film. This resulted in a young George Clooney undertaking some beautifully blatant and terrible product placement.
