A few years back, we were lucky enough to hear a presentation by Dr. Otis Brawley, then and now the chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society. He made the important point that we're already paying a higher percentage of GDP than any other first-world country (17% in 2014 vs an average of around 11% in…

I don't know what it says about me that I alternate between having the chorus of ABBA's "Super Trouper" and the atonal piano runs in Brian Eno's "Web" stuck in my head.

How is that different from "evil"?

Binge-eating and diabetes are now pre-existing conditions.

You could go the PT Barnum route; there are undoubtedly lots of ways to separate her from her money. She'd probably just waste it anyway.

It's also good when you've just finished working out and need to re-hydrate.

Excuse me, I believe the word is "nucular."

Naw man, I'm totally sure Trump would have this guy's back.

You asshole, you're supposed to be boycotting Bud because of that pro-immigration ad they ran during the Super Bowl. Don't fuck this up for us!

If he is, he's really committed to it. And I think that'll be considered a pre-existing condition as well.

Your mom has hairy nipples.

"One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with."

…an “upright snowplow driver” whose “vengeful crusade sparks a turf war between a Viking gangster and a Native American mafia boss.”

I'm reminded of Cartoon Network pulling Speedy Gonzales cartoons off the air in 1999 out of "cultural sensitivity," until a massive outpouring of pro-Speedy messages from the Hispanic community made them change their mind.

Sometimes I have a firm belief that the Dems are headed for huge wins in 2018, and that with majorities in both houses, they'll be able to stop Trump (or Pence, if he's replaced him by then) from doing any further damage. Then something like this happens and I realize I'm being way too optimistic.

I don't know what's so wrong with me that the only thing I remember about Wayne's World 2 is the scene with Jim Morrison and Sammy Davis Jr.

"The scope is an extension of my eye! The trigger is an extension of my fist! The gun is an extension of me! And I will strike you down!"
