I have been screaming

"I CAN'T GO SEE MY PEOPLE IN FLORIDA BECAUSE THE NAACP HAS TOLD ME IT IS NOT SAFE"

because I am sick of keeping my voice down for White people who don't do anything

What you missed was the culmination of a brazen betrayal of the audience. It was shit from start to finish.

Keith Richards survived so long because he had a connection to medical-grade heroin, according to his autobiography. He only had to resort to street drugs once, IIRC in Jamaica. He said he was sick for a week until he got back to a place where he could access his usual connection.

I live in CopLand, where NYC cops and FFs live, some 45 miles NW of Times Square, and I swear that each of all of them have a.) a high school education, b.) a huge pension, and c.) a fking Harley.

Pretty sure the billionaires have a lot of skin in the game here . . . and their money is vastly more important to them than any Constitutional niceties. Harlan Crow will instruct Clarence accordingly.

I was thinking maybe Stewie would get it? His character is still figuring in the show, and I can't figure out why. The actor is still listed on the opening credits.

It stands to reason that he's going to do something substantial in the last episode.

Another possibility would be Sandy's daughter, played by Hope Davis, who I believe is also named Sandy.

Religion plus Republican politics, hypocrisy, and corruption - a particularly toxic brew.

Your family analogy is correct, if I want to pay my bills I don't cut my income.

It was evrrything you could expect from the story that had been told up to that point. If you were disappointed, it's prob because they exoected Khalessi to be a fair and even-handed queen despite her upbringing and and family history (mental health, and otherwise).

On the audience side it was rushed because the producers seemed anxious to get to their ill-advised 'The South Wins the Civil War' show and didn't give GoT the attention it needed.

That link is taking me to some Cyrillic-lettered site, which i quit as soon as it opened, even if it was too late.

Thanks for the last line. My first question reading the headline is: where's the GOP Tyrion?

There isn't any.
