Films. Baseball. Football. And the defunct Hartford Whalers. These are all things I invest too much of my emotional well being in.

I think it's also funny how conservatives claim to love Ayn Rand but The Fountainhead is specifically about how useless it is to try to buy a newspaper to control people. Of course they don't actually read so why would they know that?

Straight up conservative people don't read. New York Times and Washington Post see their 95% liberal readership as an indication that they do something wrong instead of considering maybe there's something wrong with conservatives.

Looks familiar.

I try to remind my Italian conservative relatives all the time that fairly recently in US history the people they're throwing in with wouldn't spit on us.

To be fair no one was ever worse than Kevin Nealon at this same issue.

Modern pitching is extremely hard to bunt as Victor Robles shattered fingers can attest to nor.

Against 99 mph two seamers. Get real.

Every announcer acts like you’re still facing Old Hoss Radbourns 79 mph “fastball”

Does he actually believe these things or does he think this is just the language he has to couch things in to fool rubes? It’s frightening to hear either way.

Every playoff analysis in every sport ever. “The team that just won has figured it out.”

It would be quite extraordinary for George to have any feelings on any matter at this juncture.

Would have been decent Christmas counter programming for grumpy dads that don't want to go see the "blue cat" movie.

Early in his acting career he was much more willing to look foolish. The Bring It On monologue in Be Cool was the only good part of that movie. I think making the successful switch from wrestler to movie star when that had never been done before warped his ego beyond repair.

Obviously the series isn’t over but the way ESPN was talking about them as a foregone World Series conclusion in the wild card round was driving me crazy. This was a flawed team all year.
