Voter's remorse?

Here's a source for you, Bob. One of you Go To's. CBS News lionizing Chelsea Manning three short weeks ago.

This mentally ill democrat was threatening to leap from a bunch of stories today. He'll probably become even more of a hero. Liberalism is a mental disease.

Ummmm...yeah and no.

I tend to be dismissive of both Alex Jones and his crazy relative Mother Jones directly out of hand.

Although we do have Alex Jones to thank for the entertaining argument between the two stupid hot chicks we were recently treated to.

Although I have a disagreement with you on that.

I thought the stupid hot socialist was hotter than the stupid hot conservative.

Although I do tend to prefer brunettes.

I tend to prefer brunettes as well but I moreso prefer a girl with a little meat on her bones as opposed to a skinny, slouchy bird, particularly one with such an annoying voice.

I would agree with you on the extreme left and right sources, but I don't think Fox News is on the extreme right - but my exposure is pretty much limited to watching interviews of politicians or political commentators from FOX on youtube. And to be fair, I do like Paul Joseph Watson - I watch his videos on Youtube. I recently realized he works for Infowars (Alex Jones' site) but that hasn't changed my opinion of him - he's pretty entertaining and somewhat informative.

No, I don't like waifs - there's a difference. A chubby chaser would be someone who is attracted to soft pudgy people like you.

when you can dismiss the source offhand you don't have to address the content and engage in fact based discussion.

If I acknowledged and read every article that was posted here or other places I'd go insane. It's the best way to filter bullshit from either side.

should I know who that is? kinda looks like a younger Meg Ryan after a 3 day heroine binge.

Sweet Dee from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is often made fun of for looking like a bird.

Is that good? I'm finishing up Arrested Development (final season is taking me a while as it's gone downhill) and I'm looking for a good comedy. My wife is sick of the violence we've been exposed to lately (Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, etc).

like Tinsel said, that primarily works for the extreme right and left sources. I would expect there to be some legitimate facts and points from Fox News. I watch way more CNN - mainly because I like seeing conservatives (Trey Gowdy, Jim Jordan, Ben Shapiro, etc) make Chris Cuomo, Allison Cammerota and Brian Stelter look like the fools they are - but I've seen interviews with politicians and political commentators I like on Youtube that came from Fox News. They get legitimate guests and have decent interviews.

Arrested Development was good early and terrible at the end.

I didn't watch many sitcoms over the past 10-15 years but have been watching some on netflix lately. I liked How I met your mother. Parks and Rec wasn't bad. I've watched about 3 seasons of New Girl and it has it's moments too. The Office was by far the best but I'm sure you have already seen that.

Final season was just released 14 hours ago. IASIP is great, very funny, but it will offend those easily offended (presumably not you, but I don't know who you watch TV around.) These are the names of the season 1 episodes:


"The Gang Gets Racist"
"Charlie Wants an Abortion"
"Underage Drinking: A National Concern"
"Charlie Has Cancer"
"Gun Fever"
"The Gang Finds a Dead Guy"
"Charlie Got Molested"


Note for Glee Clubbers and those that enjoy that one-off musical episode of a TV series that many people hate: Season 12, episode1, "The Gang Turns Black" is one of the best, if not the best, musical episodes of a non-musical comedy series I've ever seen. And plot-wise, there's little you'd miss (not nothing, but little) by just watching that episode having seen none of the rest of the show.


Note to MC and small spoiler: the religious nut on the show more-or-less employs my tongue-in-cheek argument about science, for most people, being effectively the same as religion in that they haven't witnessed it first hand and only take the written word of dead guys, presented by someone talking to a room of people.

The Office, Parks and Rec, and Futurama are like comfort food. I would happily rewatch any episode.

I'm going to be watching that new Arrested Development soon. I guess only the 1st half of the new season dropped today.

I agree on AD - the last season is taking me forever because I can't get into but I keep trying to finish it. I have seen the office - watched it as it came out because I had watched the British version on the advice of a friend.

Parks and Rec is another one I've been told to check out so maybe we'll try that and Sunny in Phili.

I watch more lately - didn't watch Seinfeld, Friends or Frasier regularly because I wasn't good about keeping a schedule for anything let alone TV and that all happened before the DVR. Now I don't have a DVR and I'm still bad at keeping a schedule so Netflix and Amazon Prime are perfect for me.

oh man, I didn't realize there was a new season. The one I thought was last and can't get through came out at least a year ago.

thanks, I'm putting it on the list for us to check out. I'm a big South Park fan so I'm not easily offended. Being pretty strongly pro live, I don't enjoy abortion humor but I wouldn't say it offends me. My wife is as pro life as it gets and unless it got really over the top, she'd probably feel the same way I do about it.

I can do that with South Park and Family Guy and probably The Office too - haven't seen Futurama. I liked King of the Hill too - that's worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

Unless you went out of your way to watch the original cut, you are probably watching the re-cut version of season 4, which is supposedly a bit easier to follow. Season 4 was a train wreck and not intended to be a regular season. Many of the actors were busy, and they couldn't arrange time to film together, so they had this idea that they'd do an episode for each character showing what had happened over the past 5 years and causes/effects would reveal surprise interactions between their stories even though they all went their separate ways. As the season went on, people started making time to work together, extra episodes and scenes were added, and that show took so much forethought...rewrites on the fly just didn't work.


Just in the last month or so, they released an edited version of season 4, but it would be difficult for someone that saw the original to say how big a difference it makes.



I'm hoping season 5 will be a return to form, but they screwed up the characters so much in season 4, I'm not confident that it's going to be great.

I've seen some. It is a good show. If I was really hooked on it and it was current, I think I could work "dammit Bobby" into workplace conversation about once a week.
