To be fair, what part of Trump is not the asshole?

In 100 days, we've attacked 3 countries and are heading for war with a fourth. Brilliant!

Wasn't the guy who played Goldfinger actually a former Nazi guard or something? That always bothered me. If he was a former Nazi, he should have been in prison, not acting in a movie.

It's amazing when you think of all the people whom Shatner pissed off during his time on Star Trek, and how decently regarded those people are. Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Nichelle Nichols, George Takei, and Jimmy Doohan (don't know about Koenig) all are/were known for being pretty much wonderful people. The…

It wasn't live from his front yard. That's why it failed.

I am a far, FAR leftist, and I only occasionally read HuffPo. They are, plain and simply, not always factual, and often report wishful thinking as if it were basically-almost-a-done-deal. I take anything they say with several large grains of salt. I can be 100% in line with something ideologically and still take issue…

I have to say, I do like hearing recordings of old Neil Diamond performances where he does "Sweet Caroline" and the crowd ISN'T doing that irritating "So good, so good, so good" crap. It's refreshing.

There was an unofficial Zelda Maker game, it was called Zelda Classic, and it had some truly awesome fan-made quests. It just hasn't run decently on any Windows OS since XP.

That is a great bit, thanks for reminding me of it. I love McSweeneys.

I'm from Boston and I've loved Billy Joel my whole life. I don't think his appeal is limited to NY/NJ. Other than a few references here and there, it's not like he just sings about New York/Jersey all the time. I can maaaaybe see that his music would appeal mostly to a Northeast US mentality overall, given that the…

It's because sometime in the last 20-30 years as people started becoming obsessed with irony, earnesty became something to be mocked. Frankly, I'm getting sick of irony, and wish earnesty would make a comeback.

"I am the entertainer, I come to do my show
You've heard my latest record, it's been on the radio
It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song
But it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05"

I'm a huge Joel fan and I could die happy without ever hearing "Piano Man" again. It's an overplayed song for rubes. He has dozens of better songs. Hell, I think he should take it out of his setlist, but people would throw a pissy fit.

She also fucked him over for all he was worth, but yeah.

Billy Joel is awesome. He's cool by way of being aggressively uncool. He does not give a fuck, and never did. He makes the occasional pointed barb in his lyrics that has to be made, but never bothered with edginess. Nevertheless, he ends all his concerts by saying "Take no shit from anybody".

It's scary how on the nose it might be. Also, "Angry Young Man" pretty much describes the average Tr*mp voter to a T.

And he knows just where he stands…

The Doctor literally reversed the polarity of something when he swapped the wires. Hee. Also the Doctor mentioned something about having been "stuck on Earth". Seemed to be a lot of Pertwee shout-outs.

What if a penny is all I've got?

I think if Star Trek: TNG were rebooted like the original (WHICH THEY SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT DO, JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR HOLLYWOOD AND YOU DON'T GET ANY IDEAS, BUT IF THEY DID), I think he'd make a decent Riker.
