I know that cuz I am a musical GENIUS!

Came here for this!!! I cannot describe to you how hard I laughed the first time I saw that episode. Goddamn, that show was the best.

I don’t think it’s that “no one told these people,” it’s that we’ve all been screaming it at the top of our lungs for months and they just say, “well, that’s just your opinion,” and turn up Fox News

This is an amazing comparison. I had parks and rec on a continuous loop for a while there, but I was in danger of getting sick of it, so I switched to a West Wing rewatch. Talk about halcyon! The pre-9/11 era of the first couple seasons seems like an alien culture now...

(Not a dig on you, I just couldn’t help myself)

There was one year, ONE YEAR, when I was very young, that I asked for ketchup to put on Thanksgiving turkey. Once. The meat was dry, I didn’t want gravy, so fucking sue me. My grandmother still brings it up TO THIS DAY. But she also voted for Trump, so who the hell knows
