Off topic. Dropping my son off at school one morning, and there's a news report about Charles Manson being denied parole yet again. My son snickered. I asked what was so funny. He answered, "That dude has the same last name as Marilyn Manson."

I would say attacked rather than abandoned, but that's definitely quibbling.

I can't help thinking even the easter eggs stopped being fun, as they started to make up more and more of the movies.

True, but look at what we got in return!

Okay, so it was nothing. But there was so much nothing! Nothing like no one has ever seen before!

I've got tears in my eyes...

For me, a big part of what makes him a great villain is how much he looks like he should be an accountant. Totally plays against type.

"Logic dictates a liberal usage of condiments."

I'm old enough to remember that after two kids wearing black raincoats shot up a school there were actually calls to stringently regulate... black raincoats.

We all know the tune - a black guy can't possibly be better at anything than a white guy. Especially such a spectacularly magnificently amazing white guy as Trump.

Not to worry. We can safely assume the GOP will step up and browbeat every one of those people for being lazy moochers.

You don't call devastation an achievement???

Will you at least concede it was an objective?

With the words "well-regulated" right there in the text.

Well, now, faith is the evidence of things unseen, it's said.

Among the things unseen when it comes to Trump are competence, honesty , decency, intelligence, compassion, empathy, and basic common sense.

So "faith" is entirely apropos here.

I'm not so sure they even rise to the level of masquerading.

I cannot begin to imagine the thought process that results in bringing those elements together.

"It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

That's kinda what I've been saying. No surprise, Mayor Mamdani is saying it one hell of a lot more eloquently.

And the day after that, someone will explain to him how discovery works.

I had one of those... nobody was fooled.

Well, maybe this one guy who claimed I killed his father.

Especially if by "world" you mean "Russia."

You know how it is. The usual Hollywood typecasting. Bastards!

I recommend Barney Miller, from season 4 on. (Steve Landesberg joined, so there were fewer bathroom jokes.)

If you think about it, that whole movie is about a guy who was BCC'ed.

The word "coal" appears several times in the Constitution, but you have to cut out the individual letters with an X-Acto knife.

I believe they teach that in the better law schools.

I remember hearing an interview in 1975 where he said, "I never wanted to be a Beatle- I wanted to be a lumberjack." In my hometown, Monty Python fans were mostly the "weird" kids,* so having George on our side was enormously heartening.

The Muppet Show was for those adults embarrassed to admit they watched Sesame Street for the Muppets. And, I guess, for their kids.

And that's one goddam high bar to clear.

I suppose it was inevitable that the New York Time would eventually bothsides hygiene.
