Jim Gaffigan’s tweets from yesterday pretty succinctly prove your point. Middle America was shocked, shocked(!) to learn that the most whitebread, apolitical comedian in the country has room for empathy in his life.

The purpose of mentioning Grace and Frankie is because Marta Kauffman is the showrunner for both. So her words about wanting to change and move away from an all-white Friends model don’t hold too much water.

Trader Joe’s, beacon of delicious frozen foods and comforting snacks...the grocery chain known for its friendly service, free samples, and fun environment

Wow, you think that the Friends cast wrote and produced the show? I’m wondering how you think cartoons are made?

In the fourth movie we will learn which side Aldovia fought on in WW2.  The answer won’t be pretty. 

Just don’t do this shit people, whether in Congress or working for Dunder Mifflin.

Looks like Seinfeld’s new cabinets

Philly fans booing their own players is the opposite of fickleness. They care, to a fault, and they are angry. But they are not indifferent or ever unaware that there is a team in their city playing the sport.

George Michael goes on a skiing holiday with his new girlfriend, his ex girlfriend, and her new boyfriend (and some other randos).

I was lucky enough to take two writing courses with Le Anne at SUNY Albany in 2005 and 2006. She was a wonderful, warm, intensely dedicated teacher. I also was lucky enough to attend a picnic at her beloved lake house where I got to hear her talk at length about Thoreau and where she was as a writer.  I knew that she…

A stranger asking about my birthplace, name, and the age of my children is not kindness; it is intrusive.  Shopping in a store is absolutely the last place in the world that I want to be, please just let me purchase my items and leave.  

The headline of this article should be in a history book that describes what living in 2004 was like.
