Tall and wide, he wears a puffy gilet that makes him...

I'd forgotten that he's president pro tempore of the Senate, and thus third in line for the presidency. But considering that he turns 92 on Friday, I wonder: Can the president pro tempore, or the veep or speaker of the House (or secretary of agriculture, if it comes to that) turn down the job if it were...

Here are my feelings about Chase's moral dilemma recently on House. Oh, and a line or two about House/Cuddy. Had anyone else killed Dibala (James Earl Jones), I would have been very disappointed, and probably judged them for it as well. Why?

Background to this conversation: this year's anxiety problems and car accident have given me a phobia of driving in bad weather. ME: Wow, you just got really mad. Was it the driver in front of me, or are you losing patience with how slow I'm going? BECCA: It's the guy in front of you! Asshole spun his tires! Here I am trying to show you that it's alright to drive in the rain and that you're going to...

We’d like to take a moment to commemorate Veterans Day in the U.S. We ordinarily deal with far less serious matters, but as most of us are American, we felt it was important that we remember all those who have given part of their lives in service to their country’s military. While we are grateful to [...]
