“A boyfriend of mine, whom we shall call Mark...”

I dunno why but I envisioned Cat Baker delivering that epi-pen a la Vincent Vegas to Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction with Dick Dale's Miserlou in the background.

Except for the last two, I feel a little...underwhelmed this week.

Though I don’t agree with you that it was wrong, I think your accusation of propaganda is ridiculous. Propaganda is misleading people, usually playing on their emotions. Here in the US, the legitimacy of the bombing is an open debate, not a decided fact. What you are saying is all based on emotion and is completely…

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it was “better than America invading Japan”, if you were one of the people who lived there.

“That we’ve now reached...” No, the historical things I was referring to were older history books from the 70’s and earlier. Yes, dropping the bombs was amazingly horrible. A ground invasion of the home islands would have been amazingly horrible in a whole different set of ways. It was a terrible time.

Typical Eurotrash sniffing at us barbaric Americans, really, while completely ignoring the long, long, long history of brutality, violence, and conquest of the various nations of Europe. Enjoy your smoking jacket and snifter of brandy while you can, because sooner or later your economy is going to go in the shitter…

I think we all know that “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was the “Up In Smoke” of the 16th century.

Anyone else wonder if Chuck Bednarik timed his own death this March to get an angle on Frank as he crossed through St. Peter’s Gate?

The bitterness on this subject just amazes me. I think it was because it was forced on you. I think adults should dress as they wish. I don’t mind the idea of uniforms for school children but after that wear what you will. I think Millennials see hosiery as what it should be seen as, an option that makes sense at…

Umrguy, your overriding presumption has to be that the Battle Group escorts will keep everything and everyone away from the CVN. I mean, we’ve built our entire naval war fighting strategy - aside from the subsea and Marines - around this premise. Not to be too pessimistic here, but its a premise that's never been…

Big guns are fun and all, but large caliber guns for air defense didn’t really survive the jet and high speed cruise missile age. There are navies that still attempt to use mid caliber autocannon under computer control, but they are subject to target saturation.

This paragraph could use a tweak to make it clearer:

I like you. I really do.

So, who wants lunch? My treat.

When I hand it to her, I tell her, “No charge for the extra blood!” She doesn’t even blink, snatches the package and leaves.

It’s also very plausible that Stewart’s insurance carrier might make a bottom-line decision to negotiate a settlement rather than expend a probably larger amount of money to fight (with a perhaps small risk of large consequences should they lose; risk management takes into account both the likelihood and the severity…

First off, the whole “well no one else hit him!” argument just makes my blood boil. Yeah, he wasn’t walking towards and yelling at those other cars either. He did have to step back from one because he got too close, though.

To be fair, almost every physical item that I have backed on Kickstarter has come out without issue. I made a post here a while back breaking down some of the numbers, but it’s really the video games and their nebulous time tables that are a major hit to Kickstarter’s reputation. I’m not saying there aren’t scams here…

Is it me, or have some judges lost their damn minds lately? “Get married or jail,” or “have a good relationship with your father.”
