Don't look to TV, then. You'd be best served by picking up The Weekly Standard, or occasionally National Review.

We make time to carve out time, just like we'd have to for any "important" part of our schedule. My group right now is me, my wife, my near-14 year old daughter, and two of my friends who convene every other Saturday for HackMaster.

I promise to jump back in as soon as a new movie goes up that grabs me. That's reassuring.

I'm sympathetic, but pointing out that something isn't well done doesn't negate it not being well done. There's no other podcast out there right now that I more badly want to get its shit together. I'm rooting for them.

If it's not, it should be. And not just because The Zombies are criminally overlooked.

Has The Projection Booth done anything yet about the sound quality on the phone calls? They've done episodes that fascinate me - Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon and the 6 hours they spent on Star Wars come to mind, but the phoners make everything completely unlistenable. It's a shame, because it really could be an…

I got it, thanks. I was basically asking about it the second it was announced, and no link yet existed at that point.

Action-heavy session! Forgive my confusion at first, as I wasn't sure if by "chimpanzee-armed" you meant "with the arms of a chimpanzee" or "armed with chimpanzees."

Sec. Clinton received the second highest vote total in history, behind President Obama in '08. People showed up, just not where they were electorally necessary.

Early voting is already open in Georgia's 6th.

So you're saying The_Donald is generally in favor the sale of ISP browser histories to private companies? That's not a good hill to die on, either.

They're not good at politics, they're good at elections.

I described his speeches to my wife yesterday as, "It's like every single thing he talks about is with the depth of a man who had the issue explained to him on his walk to the dais. He has the exact phrasing of a 13 year old giving an oral report on a book they didn't read."

I got a new Bluetooth earpiece for work, and suddenly I don't have a podcast backlog anymore. Just a man and his desk. It's allowing me to finally run through the whole series Hello From the Magic Tavern, through which I've burned through about 40 episodes in the past week, and staying caught up on all the politics…

My introduction to the style was Weyerbacher's Blithering Idiot, but I never delved deeply enough into the style to be able to compare it to anything beyond its awesome name. At the time, I was talking a big game by extolling my preference for highly rated beers like Old Rasputin and Brooklyn Brewery's Double…

I politely request an article on how fucking awesome Pigface is.

Besides Bill Swerski?

The whole Assassin mythos is nonsense. My favorite part of ACIV is that Edward totally understands that.

I dug whaling a bit more than you, but it took hauling up a White Whale like Ahab's wet dream for it to really kick in.

I've been a busy busy bee this past week.
