After Drew's tease, I had to read Easterbrook's column (or part of it) to see his connection between Batman and the 2012 election. It's even worse than you'd expect it to be.
I walked past the park a few hours ago. They have a portable sukkah down there. It's nylon with branches on the roof. It's about the size of a port-a-potty. The guy maintaining it said he slept in it last night.
Gregg Easterbrook's father thought that the NY Times Arts section's coverage of Anne Bancroft and Colleen Dewhurst was equally unnecessary. He said that Greta Garbo and Lillian Gish wouldn't have appeared in such populist drivel as "The Graduate" or "Annie Hall."
It's so cute that they thought they could win the World Cup.
"I hit the ball first time, and there it was in the back of the net!"
@Phintastic: Yes. It's not karaoke, but it's still the best thing I've seen in the past two hours.
Serious question: does the end of the beef embargo mean that you have to revise your chili recipe? Because it's already damn delicious with no beef.
Was it just me or was there a continuity error with Finn & Rachel's abstinence? Rachel confessed that she lied about having sex with Jesse, and then said "it's great because now neither of us has had sex." But at the beginning of last season when Quinn was pregnant, didn't everyone think Finn was the father at first? Even if Finn believed Quinn's "immaculate conception" theory (the hot tub scene), surely no one else, including Rachel, would have.
@JonathanSafranFoyer: You make a good point. But the problem is that our system of government is broken. Even if you elect someone who wants to help make life better for people who are less fortunate, that person has to work with 534 other people. At least half of those people not only have different views about who's less fortunate or how to help them, they are dedicated to preventing your representative's policy idea from being heard.
Until the two parties stop bickering and actually work together, nothing much is going to change.

Don't blame me. I watched the Penguins-Senators game at a bar in Manhattan. There weren't even that many Yankees fans there.
@UkraineNotWeak: I'm really going to be in trouble on Dugout Day.
@Gourmet Spud: That's just what I was thinking.
@Bullet! Bullet! Bullet!: He started at 35% this morning and he's been gaining all day. I'm cautiously optimistic that this is the year.
As one of the "graybeards" I firmly support Nightmare Ant's bid for DSHOF. I'll never forget the night he first appeared on the site, or the night terrors that persist to this day.
I can say from personal experience that The Early Show producers are relentless when it comes to getting you on their show. Also, they love the word "exclusive," though it's essentially meaningless in the TV industry.
No hate for "I Got Friends In Low Places?" I went to a friend's wedding years ago and was shocked to see him and his college buddies shouting this song along with the DJ. Apparently he went to college and became a redneck.
@OchentaYcinco: I had no idea how half those brand names were pronounced until I saw that ad.
"I'm glad I didn't see it." Someone will have video of it within an hour.
People really do record themselves watching TV? This is a thing? I'm supposed to believe he had the camera running for the entire game just for his reaction when we scored. Either he rewatched the goal and recorded his reaction, or we've become a nation of narcissists.
I'd tell Reed to check out Tom Clancy's Executive Orders but it's 1200 pages of Clancy working on a crappy premise so he can write about a 2nd war in the Persian Gulf.
