Or even the Holocaust. But despite what a few blowhards on the, AHEM, internet say, even conservatives think net neutrality is
Did a double take I think it was last night when I saw for the first time what is apparently a Comcast ad blitz explaining how they are the biggest fans ever of net neutrality, and totally don't want to drown it in the bathtub until the last life drains from it with one last kick they do not want to do that and have not been spending millions lobbying to do that no not at all.
Important question though: is it the real MST3K or the dubious reboot that mostly misses the point? ETA: stopped being lazy and clicked through: it's the real one. I am excite.

I so do miss MST3000. Bring back the snark bots and Joel.
I was number 42 in the original MST3000 fan club. Before it got picked up by comedy Central it was on a local Minneapolis TeeVee channel 23.

^^^^ This guy has been reading the NY times for 40 years. Never knew it had a &quot;Styles&quot; section.
