Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

He really is that stupid.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

So many bastards, so little time.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Republicans do not trust women.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

    Okay, now I feel better for having a similar thought about an hour after hearing the news.

    I also think he would have been the perfect person to play my high school drama teacher if anyone ever made a movie of HIS life, but for different reasons.

    And I really wish someone would have made a loose sequel that focused solely on PSH’s character, complete with an all-star dream cast playing the fake Brat Pack.

    I guess it depends on the script. Will this be a sweeping epic that requires us to cast a “young cole” and and “old Cole?”

    @Steeplejack: Ferguson enjoys himself thoroughly in this oft tired TV vehicle, lets his freak flag fly, and lets it all hang out. Hysterical. Plus, he is a fierce patriot who is so proud of becoming a US citizen that he got a badass tattoo to commemorate his naturalization.

    @Omnes Omnibus: I think we need two actors. I guess if we can believe that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will grow up to be Bruce Wills (see Looper), matching types isn’t necessary. Maybe to keep it fresh, we could have Michael Cera play old Cole and and Kevin Spacey play young cole.

    @Violet: Absolutely. A helicopter for transport to a level 3trauma center should probably be a line item also.

    Bruce Dern could play very old cole. We need to start working on this script. What we need to figure out is where Cole will be in 30 years so that this whole thing can get made while we’re still around to see it.

    Now, are the dogs in this movie really dogs or are they symbolic somehow? Is it o.k. if they talk?

    No, the dogs can’t talk. I lived near NYC in the summer of ’77. Talking dogs are bad shit.

    @Suffern ACE: Hmmm…. In college, I always got the Tom Hulce as Pinto comparison.

    Just watched Patrick Stewart on The Daily Show. I would like to see his take on the challenge that is the role of John Cole.

    Zac Efron might be cast in next years star wars reboot. I guess he won’t be available to play cole, either.

    From what I’ve seen of Ferguson, he’s not as good as Letterman at his career best. But he’s WAYYYYY better than Letterman any time recently.

    The only late night person I can actually watch a whole show of would be Jimmy Kimmel. Everyone else I can only tolerate for so long. My tolerance threshold goes in this order(highest to lowest):
    Craig Ferguson
    Conan O’brien
    David Letterman

    I don’t even bother with Leno, and I haven’t seen enough Fallon to know where he goes on that list–even though I like his occasional music spoofs.

    Huh. I think Stephen Colbert might be closest in general appearance, though he’d need to let himself go a bit, and lose most of his talent to really capture the true me.

    In the biopic, the pets will all be imaginary, inhabiting Cole’s mind. He’ll have conversations with them and everyone else will think he’s off his rocker.
