just saw the same two commercials for mail order brides, or asian/russian dating sites on fox news

Interesting that is where they find their demographic. I picture some retired guy who is in to gold coins and reloading his own ammunition.

Surprised?

Update at 3:47 p.m.: We’ve just received a statement from Tim League, founder of the Alamo Drafthouse — which, far as we know, is still the only local theater that has said it will screen The Interview beginning Christmas Day.

Cops: you get what youb pay for.

It should be much harder to be a cop and pay a lot more. I would require a bachelor's degree with required coursework relating to the constitution and Western Enlightenment ideas. And I would triple the salary.

2. I bet not many people have it.

3. Bet the bandwidth makes Mexico look like Japan.

4. Sony execs are a bunch of cowards.

5. WTF

Obama now officially my pick for greatest president of my lifetime (born in 1968)

Immigration, Cuba, healthcare (imperfect as it is) LGBT rights put him in first..

Cuba sealed it.

violent, misogynistic, and an absolutely brilliant masterpiece.

I listened to Dr. Dre's The Chronic today for the first time in decades. I had forgotten how incredible it is. I had also forgotten how violentl and sexist it is. I make no apologies for liking it because it isn't a conscious choice. It appeals to me sonically. It just does. What works of art do you find apealing despite a noxious message?

Obama hating: Borowitz nails it!

Andy Borowitz

Thought for the week: For all the hating on Obama, we now have health insurance for millions who were not covered, a climate deal with China, an immigration plan that will keep millions of families together, and imminent detente with Iran. If only all Presidents could fail like that.
