Considering those on Game of Thrones tend to “get the death they deserve,” a public burning a la Shireen might be appropriate, no? Someone needs to pay for that.

Great article, Sean. It’s something I’d never thought about, but once you lay it out, the connecting thread really does shine through.

Rome IX I I.

His victims deserve justice. That’s worth pursuing. I’m sure that to them, his pardon is not something that ‘matters the least’.

I think the expansion of knowledge of Arpaio’s crimes was necessary. The amount of his atrocities Oliver cited is much bigger than I previously heard about, and, I mean, the webcam in the toilet thing... that just takes the cake.

I say, sir, could I impose upon you for a moment to view this sexual recording of Mr. Hogan, of the Florida Hogans? I assure you, it is ever so ribald.

I seem to remember Sanders going on a democrat unity tour while simultaneously losing a meaningless CNN debate on healthcare to Ted Cruz, saying he wasn’t…

Unlike some other commenters here I don’t begrudge Clinton staying in public life. She could help us move forward and heal the divisions on the left in a way few else could, helping to unite progressives, centrist Dems, and persuadable independents. But instead of doing that, she’s looking back, reopening instead of…

We also would have accepted “Sir Buttrick Stewfart”.

turned him into a petty shithead like the rest of us

This is a million times more compelling as a beef than whatever bullshit Taylor Swift and Kanye West have going on.

Yeah, why that pic up top. Because I clicked through thinking “Boy that sure doesn’t look like the kind of person who’d reject Infowars. Also, boy are they not a kid.”

I’m beginning to think maybe the AV Club deserves the Kinja hell it has been damned to.

Go Giants this season! Hopefully the Cowboys or Patriots don’t win the Super Bowl anyway.
