Sometimes the positive count of brain cells from some cancel out the negative numbers of others

I can already see the 2036 GOP debates if things stay on our current trajectory: Instead of answering a question about homeland security or Medicaid expansion, the candidates just take turns peeing on a random Muslim.

Dear Bobby "Pissboy" Jindz,The minute you say that Roof is going to hell for what he did, maybe you might pick up a phone and call Cair and listen to them denouncing terrorists over and over and over again. You worthless bag of salted rat dicks.Sincerely,America

"Young men from the Middle East are different than Kim Davis, and we’ve got to understand that."What about a young man who's father moved to the US 30 years ago for Freedom(tm)? Is he still dangerously "from the middle east"?

It's illegal to ask about arrests. They're only supposed to ask about convictions.

Jacob's Ladder had an interesting notion:

Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: "The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you", he said. "They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."I really can't believe that an all-powerful and all-loving god could see anything in something so finite as a human that merits infinite punishment.

he. Bobby just doesn't seem to understand that the same people who hate Ahmed and "young men from the Middle East" would, if they met the governor on a street somewhere without a nametag and an RNC elephant pin on his lapel, regard him in exactly the same light. Remember when that bigot attacked sikhs thinking they were Muslim? He refused to apologize for his mistake, saying they're all the same to him.

meant as a comedy about dysfunctional amerika in the future, sadly, I find it prophetic: http://www.imdb.com/title/t..."Idiocracy" indeed.

That's right, I got it backwards! I always preferred the fish-like substance they made available at the public grade school I attended, it had nice crispy breading on the outside, whereas the meat-like stuff was usually grey and disgusting.

I'm kind of getting tired of Idiocracy being hailed as some kind of "prophecy," if only because Mrs. Ideal and I- the supposedly "smart" people from the beginning of the movie- will have our own rugrat before long. The geek will inherit the earth, just not without fighting the dumb.

If anything, I'd borrow a (somewhat dated) Patton Oswalt view of the world as a whacky parallel universe: Arnold Schwarzenegger runs California, torture is legal, and spinach is poisonous!
