I looked for it too! They didn't have it in the most appropriate section, dang it.

Conservatives think it's good art if the picture of a horse looks like a horse.

Please think of the dogs this 4th. Like mine, who wanted to open a fireworks stand, but the city will not grant him a permit

Welp, looks like our liberal media found the thing they're going to beat into the dirt until Trump wins.

Is this just among people who still have a land line and answer the phone to talk to strangers, or an actual representative sample of Americans?

I just hope I get to help crowd-surf one of the useful idiots like Milo Yappadappalis or Ben Carson to the ovens while he screams to the guards that he's one of the good ones.

I'm curious, but not curious enough to watch the entire show to find out: Was there a single Mellencamp track over the entire run? Because if you were in rural Indiana in 1985, I bet he was *inescapable* on the radio.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

At the second debate, Biden blows Trump's head off with a Desert Eagle and then tells the moderators that as an official act of the POTUS, that murder is fully legal.

I want everyone to think about what Trump will do with explicit absolute immunity from prosecution and the full power of the presidency of the United States of America those are the stakes in November, full stop

An overconfident Trump at the September debate could make all of this current handwringing obsolete. Think about how repellent he is in smug-asshole mode.

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.

Yes, I know Trump barely squeaked into power the first time by winning electoral votes on a tighter-than-razor-thin margin in a few states. That's never been under question.

Telling anyone who didn't want genocide in Palestine to shut the fuck up because the grownups are talking and it was essential not to change horses midstream; now, of course, it's a few more months too late to change without looking cretinous. And making Trump look healthier and smarter.

I know they did it in the Necronomicon anthology, but "Cool Air" is one that doesn't necessarily require ancient gods and human-skin-bound magic tomes. My version of "The Music of Erich Zann" is set in 1961 in London and you won't believe the sounds this weird dude can get from his console.

The 2008 movie "Doomsday" is probably the closest you're going to get to that. They used the John Carpenter font for the opening credits, so the filmmakers' hearts were in the right place.

In 1986 I just thought it was a decent idea (but had no idea why he had several identical neckties). I think he's supposed to be autism-coded.

I talked my mom into taking me to see it in the theater when I was eleven. I read VERY CAREFULLY SELECTED parts of the four-star review in the Chicago Tribune, and also did not get to pick the movie for quite some time after that.

War of the Satellites, one of the "torn from the headlines" Corman science fiction quickies. He's a space pilot who tells the U.N. that he's right, they're wrong.

Please remember that CNN is Diet Fox and has been for years. Chris Licht wanted to go full-bore, it was a disaster, they're back to being Diet Fox again. But that's what they are.

Ran was the first one that came to mind. I'm still not sure how I feel about the son demonstrating that you can still break a bundle of arrows. Was he merely telling the truth? Arrogantly showing off? Trying to warn his father? Prophesying? All of the above?

Could be a bit of both. I'm fifty next year and I've worked at two publishers with career-advancement tracks that fired the entire department I worked in to save money. Once in 2001, once in 2013. Now I'm a union employee at a county courthouse, which means I've got at least SOME protection.
