There’s a lot of hypocrisy on guns because while many people profess to not like them, deep down everyone understands their utility. For the people who fantasize about a total gun ban, what are you going to use to enforce that? Strongly-worded letters?

Actually, with all the sensitivities these days, a strongly-worded letter could be a minefield. I would be careful with those.

I’m a little wary about how First Man changes history by having rival evil astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have a shootout with on the moon, but without that the movie would have basically no drama.

I made my kids some nachos and told them “It’s nacho ordinary nachos,” but the pun was a lie; it was just chips with shredded cheddar cheese melted on it—about as ordinary as they can get.

There’s not really a strict definition of either, but I think for a lot of people civility is things like not using racial slurs and political correctness is not telling light bulb jokes because that might offend blind people.

The problem is I don’t think there can ever be a hard fast rule when it’s polite to try to avoid offense versus when the more polite thing is for the potentially aggrieved party to suck it up. Of course, I’m a Christian, so I’m offended by a hundred things a day and no one cares.

When you act angry at someone for being a terrible person but are terrible yourself, it comes off as insincere.

I’d be fine with people having an irrational hatred of one party if it wasn’t married with an irrational like of the other.

The whole Kanye thing is dumb, but even dumber are all the people on the left who seem threatened by it.

The left are becoming like these old fogies who feel the need to clamp down on anyone rebelling against the way things have always been.

One great thing about every major election these days is you in each one someone who really deserves to lose is going to lose.

When the kids say they don’t like tickles, I tickle them as punishment for lying.

Kanye and the reaction too him is just an illustration that much of politics these days is bad people being screamed at by worse people.

There’s a myth from George Washington’s childhood used to illustrate his honesty. His father had a favorite cherry tree, but one day found curvy women carved into it. When he questioned young George, the boy looked up at him and said, “I like big butts and I cannot lie.”

loses court battle
“The Case for Abolishing the Supreme Court”
loses election
“The Case for Abolishing Democracy”
loses at Candyland
“The Case for Abolishing Board Games”
is just a loser
“The Case for Abolishing Humanity”

The left’s bizarre meltdown about Kanye illustrates they would get a lot more mileage critiquing their own racism rather than the right’s (especially since I doubt the right will ever listen to them again on that issue).

If I had one wish in this divided, ultra-partisan climate, it would be for more wishes. That’s always the first wish.

The Supernatural season premiere was a little meh. Maybe they’re hitting that common 14th season slump where they start to run out of ideas.

You’d almost think Trump was this great, flawless president with how many of the controversies about him are total stupid nonsense.

The “Trump loves the Confederates!” thing was pretty gratuitous, but was any harm done? That would take someone who is both:
1. Influenceable on Trump
2. Still trusts the MSM
I sincerely doubt such a person exists.

At this point, NBC could report that Trump praised Hitler and you’d have a large group freak out about how awful Trump is and another group just assume it’s a lie and at the end of the day no one’s opinion would change.

First Man (2018): People from a never identified country attempt to land on the moon to raise awareness for climate change.

I heard somewhere they digitally removed all the American flags from the uniforms in First Man so as to not offend Democrats since they all hate America. That somewhere was a random guy on the internet, but he seemed pretty sure about it.

MYTH: Barack Obama hated America.
FACT: Most years the U.S. made Obama’s list of the 20 best countries.

Know what might improve The Big Bang Theory? If the laugh track were replaced with a single, upper crust lady mirthlessly saying, “How droll.”

I saw First Man and it’s true: They digitally removed every flag from the movie and are careful to never mention which country is landing on the moon. Also, Buzz Aldrin has been replaced with a Chinese woman to increase international ticket sales.

That explains why when Elizabeth Warren killed a buffalo, she’d only use 1/1024th of it.

Credit where it’s due: A politician’s story being 1/1024th accurate is much higher than expected.

We all owe Elizabeth Warren 1/1024th of an apology.

I hope Elizabeth Warren is the Democrats’ candidate in 2020. For maximum entertainment, we need someone who is easily baited by Trump.

The only thing that could save First Man at the box office would be to release a new trailer set to the Team America theme.

Okay, I kind of admire Elizabeth Warren going full Leeroy Jenkins with her possible 1/1024th Native American heritage.

I have no idea who Pete Davidson is and only a vague idea who Ariana Grande is. Am I missing something?

A common thread leading to horrible policies — and you see this in different issues on the right and left — is treating people as a problem to be solved.

1/1024th is the amount of Native American you’d expect to find in a DNA test of Spock.

According to Nate Silver, about 35% of the Democrats’ election chances rested on Elizabeth Warren being able to prove she’s a Cherokee, so this incident is probably going to hurt them.

I completely forgot that silly “she persisted” thing was about Elizabeth Warren. I don’t even remember what issue that was about.
Anyway, please people, don’t lionize politicians. If makes you a simpering idiot.

Everyone is always jumping between complaining about money in politics and bragging about how much money they raised.

I haven’t watched The Simpsons in years (and probably won’t again until the final episode), but I still kind of admire how absurdly long they’ve been on the air.
Those first ten or so seasons probably had more impact on me than any other TV show.
When The Simpsons first aired, I was Bart’s age. I’m now at least as old as Homer and have three kids of approximately the same ages as his.
What’s funny, is The Simpsons correctly predicted how I’d stop watching The Simpsons. “Ah. Classic Itchy & Scratchy… What else is on?” Though they had a few bad seasons, I thought they were getting a lot better when I finally got bored of it.
I forgot what was the last seasons I watched. I remember thinking the show got better after it went HD, and it was soon after that the episodes just seemed to sit on my DVR.

“Warren was reportedly 1/1024th offended by the 1/1024th insult, which, if one does the math, makes it approximately 1/1,000,000th of an offense — a literal microaggression.”

What does it say that Donald Trump has only the second worst behavior towards women of modern presidents?

The people you have to coerce and badger into registering to vote don’t have the input our republic is desperately missing.

The part in The Conners where the grandchildren explain to a tearful Dan that they had to murder his wife for having the wrong politics was hard to watch, but it’s something an increasing number of families can relate to.
