    I just keep comparing this to the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer with "Hooked on a Feeling" and remembering that my reaction to that trailer was "Holy hell, what was that? I want to see more!" This just made me think "Oh, more of the same. Okay."

    Cable is actually fairly cheap, as far as content goes. The reason you're paying more when you unbundle is precisely because, bundled, the networks get far more money. ESPN would much rather get $5/mo from 100 million cable subscribers than try to get $20/mo from 25 million subscribers. But if you want to unbundle

    Eh, I'm sure I've had weirder questions, though I seem to have a remarkable ability to purge dumb questions from my memory.

    Now I have a drone. Ho-Ho-Ho.

    It's spatter. Blood spatter. One would expect a seasoned crime reporter to know that.

    Well, I hope Gawker and the other sites that have been reveling in Paul Reiser's requests for Mad About You DVDs and the apparently terrible Bond ending have gotten enough clicks to justify serving as North Korean propagandists for the last month. Way to go, guys!

    No they can't. You have to get permission to show somebody else's work, whether you make money on it or not.

    You know, I'd take the Gawker websites' outrage over the pulling of The Interview and Team America a lot more seriously if they hadn't just spent the last three weeks basically working as North Korea's stooges all for the sake of gossipy clickbait.

    I'm not sure how everybody hasn't watched Zero Hour. They cloned Jesus Christ! That's a thing that happened. Granted, the show was terrible, so getting to that point was misery, but man what a crazy show.

    So they took this guy, changed one letter and reversed the names? I like it!

    In his defense, walking unarmed through an apartment door is a good way to get shot by a skittish NYC cop these days.

    Man, have I got a coach for them.

    I think this article is more about not knowing exactly what the bill is charging you for. I mean, my water and power bills fluctuate every month so they could add a fee and, if I didn't look at my statements, I probably wouldn't notice unless it was particularly large.

    Depends on where you live. When we bought, our combined income for a teacher and a librarian was about $80k and we bought a nice house for $132k. And this was not even two years ago.

    You might want to look at your withholding, too. Generally, when you switch your W4 to "Married Filing Jointly" and list two exemptions, the amount withheld goes down (because they're assuming yours is the only job supporting both people). Your "nice return" may have just gone into your paycheck because less was

    The idea is to count up in small increments using fives and tens.

    It almost feels like, since it was first a joke and then a slur on Jackson's intelligence, it should only be used in an ironic way.

    The problem with this solution is that, if the switch is UP when Steve first walks into the room, he has no idea if he's the first person in the room or if somebody's already been there twice before him.

    They kind of had bad timing. They were trying to broaden their programming to attract bigger audiences right at the time programming was getting more fractured and medium-sized audiences for cable programming were becoming harder to come by.

    If your bank took 2% of your annual salary for the privilege of processing your paychecks, would you call that a "small expense"?
