It was great when Ohlmeyer went on Colbert Report and got mocked for saying NBC was going to lose money on the Winter Olympics. Colbert did a fund drive to help, and presented him with a giant check for like $5.08

It's also great that he's been dead since 2017. Conan was right when he called him one of the silverback gorillas running TV.

When AIPAC stops buying the US government.

It's one of the better -isms currently available.

Workers owning the means of production is the way it should be. Until we can mature further.

When you're what?

I'm not saying it's wise, or will work, just that that is the reason for the court's stoicism.

That's not how turkey meat is supposed to be. Sounds like the breast meat got way too hot and started to dry out.

I only do breast roasts nowadays because the different parts of a full turkey have different ideal final temperatures. Brining and then smoking has resulted in fantastic entrees every year for the last six years. I'm up to making 5 roasts at a time now for each holiday because everyone wants leftovers as well.

They're trying to make this case airtight in appeal. Judge Vaughn Walker took the same route when he struck down California's same-sex marriage ban.

The last two Presidents to die in office were Democrats. It's a Republican's turn. Any one of them would be fine with me.

I think most Democratic party voters want universal healthcare. I think most Democratic party politicians do not.

If Biden wins and survives to the end of a second term, I think the nomination will be hotly contested.

Counting on cultural stasis will always result in disappointment. Luckily, neither culture nor disappointment are permanent.

If you're a fellow American, please stop weighing in on this whole thing. We shouldn't be propping up Israel to begin with. We shouldn't be involved in this at all.

Our support of Israel was certainly factored into Hamas's decision to escalate things. And the blowback we'll get from unconditionally supporting Israel is completely, COMPLETELY predictable.

Covid gave us an opportunity to turn the page on the war on terror, and now our unwavering support for one side of this conflict is going to prompt some yahoo to commit something stupid, and start the war on terror up all over again.

There is no upside in supporting one side over the other in this one - we need to sit it out. Stop sending billions to Israel every year and providing a pretext for some sort of revenge attack on us. Saudi doesn't care what we think anymore, OPEC is going to do whatever it wants.

The US foreign affairs community seems to be of the opinion that our involvement in Israel and its recognition by KSA or any other big player in the region is going to secure the status of the petrodollar. But de-dollarization is going to happen anyway, thanks to BRICS.

So we'll continue to sell arms to Saudi Arabia while they continue to not supply us with enough oil to keep prices low, and we'll continue to prop up Israel while they continue to piss off the entire region.

And everyone is just... okay with this?
