Wo should Obama root for? There's an easy way to determine that: Count the electoral votes! New England (minus Connecticut) versus the Tri-State Area...
Massachusetts (11 votes) + Vermont (3 votes) + New Hampshire (4 votes) + Rhode Island (4 votes) + Maine (4 votes) = 26 votes
New York (29 votes) plus New Jersey (14 votes) + Connecticut (7 votes) = 50 votes
Even if we gave CT back to the Pats, the Giants still run away with this tally. It's simple math, Mr. President: Go with the Big Blue!
Fusco hasn't been ditched; Reece has him tailing Finch to find out what his big secret is (involving the dead partner whose name I've forgotten).
Not that commenting at The A.V. Club really matters (or that anyone will read this unstarred thread), but I came to the same conclusion THREE MONTHS AGO. I post this now not for my own gratification and profit, but that future generations will know the truth.
There's only one reason that really matters: To see if it can be done.
If we stop doing stuff like this because it's not cost-effective enough, then....what's the point of continuing our species? Money is a figment of our imagination.
If you don't like what the TSA does, write to your congressman/Senator to ban their practices; if you feel what the TSA does is unconstitutional, then sue 'em. I'm sure someone (or someones) already have, and if the Supreme Court (or a lower court without their decision being reversed) considers it unconstitutional, then the pat downs will go away.
I myself have not felt my right being trampled on when going through airport security, so I won't be taking those actions.
Been a big Todd fan for awhile now; the first time I saw him (his Comedy Central special) I assumed he was gay, but everything I've seen from him since didn't indicate one way or another. I don't think I would have been surprised whatever his sexual identity turned out to be.
I know the difference between the Shining and getting killed with an axe. I'm a Crothers, man!
I know the difference between your lady cumming for real and when she fakes it so you don't get suspicious. I'm the other man!
After watching the pilot and watch Reece beat up a couple mobsters in the subway, I started calling him Hobo Jesus Batman.
Too bad he shaved off his epic beard.

All of Seattle apologizes for not existing closer to Ohio, and for totally kicking the Rams ass this Monday. Sorry.
No way you spin this, the kid was still flagged for raising his arm in the air for a second. Really? And even if that DEPLORABLE ACT deserved a flag, the penalty SHOULD have been enforced on the extra point or kickoff.
This penalty is not unlike getting your hand cut off for stealing a single grape at the grocery, and having acid poured all over your bloody stump.

If only they'd bring back Better Off Ted; hell, dressing Ted up in drag would STILL be a million times better than this shit.
I see the FotC movie as, more or less, a continuation of the series, in that Britt, Jermaine & Murray are still the same characters (as if they'd be anyone else) and still stuck in New Zealand; the movie itself would be a Muppets-like comedy adventure, where the group is ordered to go to LA and pitch a pro-NZ (or, more to the point, anti-Australian) movie....but since the group has no idea how to write a movie, they instead seek out their favorite celebrities for help, and hijinks ensue. I'd cast Mel Gibson or Hugh Jackman as the Australian villain, trying to crush FotC's "movie", even though it doesn't actually exist.
I'd say that's a decent start to a story, and I'd leave it up to Brett and Jermaine to take it from there.

The Washing-hung Monument speaks for itself.
Considering what "wanking" means here in The States, a wanker would, essentially, be a chronic masturbator. Not everyone takes that as an insult.
I hope you, like me, will never, EVER call the bathroom "the loo." First of all, we already have our own casual way of saying it, and it's "the john" or "the head." I don't know why this article even brought it up when we already have a VASTLY SUPERIOR way of saying it.
No offense to anyone named Lou or Lew (or even British people), but I'd rather drink the contents of my toilet than refer to it as "the loo." Those Brits should go back to the drawing table and think of something better.

I'm 99% positive Moe said, "car hole" as the less-fancy way of saying garage, not "car hold." Just like pigging out is often called "cramming your pie hole" here.
Damnit! Now I gotta go play Sudoku on Facebook. Any suggestions on how to quit?
I always go back to the Law of Diminishing Returns; you've got movies with the same level of special effects budgets like Green Lantern, Iron Man 2, Cowboys & Aliens, Thor, and so on, and they're doing worse and worse in the box office. Avatar set the bar for special effects nearly 2 years ago, and the studios are either going to have to spend a lot more money to make films that reach or even exceed that mark, or make the movies with the "sub-par" effects better. You can't just rip the Green Lantern origin story out of the comics and expect to make $400 million just like that; studios need better writing, better character development and better marketing. Or wait for Avatar-level graphics to become affordable.
Here's a few things this school WOULD accept...
