Pretty much any time someone is busted for embezzling, some sort of addiction (gambling, drugs, gambling, shopping, gambling) is the driving force. It takes a warped mind to think they will get away with it, and that no one will question why they have 500k in cars and bet 10k on a hand of blackjack despite having a 85k…

Left to their own devices, they probably would.

I seem to recall stories of Demi’s multiple drug overdoses followed by brain damage. Is there no one helping this person?

Even though I wasn’t a fan of the show, a D+ for Parks & Rec seems a little harsh. 

I’m in the Puget Sound ‘burbs, and I see at least 3 Teslas on each short run to the grocery store.  Of course, that grocery store has a SuperCharging station in the parking lot, so it’s a little like seeing moths around a porch light.

Seems that most college ‘ball coaches are driving new cars when they get busted for DUI.

So people like Jim Breuer and Cody Bellinger simply won’t be able to drive at all anymore?

If it’s the same agent that had him do State Farm commercials featuring a sleazy agent stereotype, then shit advice is certainly on-brand.  Those are some of the most WTF commercials out there. 

I remember going to the Sears hardware department with my Dad in the late 1980's to buy a cheap 1/4" drill to replace a 20 y.o. model that finally died. The sales associate asked him if he wanted to buy the extended warranty on it. He replied, “No. When it dies I will buy another $30 drill.”

We can assume Bradken will simply re-name the company and pretend they had nothing to do with this war profiteering. (We’ve been at war for 20 years now) Kind of like how your cable TV company and phone company kept changing corporate names to run away from their bad reviews.

4) Belarus is a totalitarian state with no protection of “personal liberty”. The government there can whack him any time they like, just for the lulz.

Also worth noting that the US has a policy of not assassinating foreign heads of state.  That exempts about 200 people.  The other 7+ billion are fair game.

Maude Flanders would be proud.

There are times to invoke Martin Luther King, and this is not one of them.  Unless, of course, you are simply blasting the dog-whistle to your fellow bigots.

This is really the situation Erik is in. His neighborhood in NYC has gas lines from the time when the lights were gas, late 19th century. Several communities in the northeast have had problems with those ancient lines failing. Since these are American utility companies, they have ignored the problem until there are…

Are the gas lines in your neighborhood 120+ years old?  Because that’s the real issue here, not cooking.

Way to miss the entire point of Versailles.  It only exists because of the monarchy.

Christopher Hitchens used to refer to her as a vapid disco queen, which makes the casting of Kristen Stewart absolutely perfect.

Good thing that part of the country has never had a severe hail storm.

He also shoehorned his decidedly non-telegenic daughter into the final episode just so she could renew her SAG card.  Absolute waste of screen time, and an insult to the professional actors who earned their credit.
