Especially if those "other people" are, well, you know.

I don't have to write my rep; she's Carolyn Maloney. However, if you live in a district represented by a Republican, write to your rep, and get family, friends, and associates to do likewise.

Perlason rebilasponsity doesn't really work in the Repuglican mind, but it makes a good talking point.

Notice how the answer to that question is never, "Do his fucking job."

Perhaps, but Big Bang Theory certainly doesn't qualify as art.

So wait, does this mean the US isn't in quarantine by the rest of the world anymore? I thought Canada and Mexico especially had closed their borders to Americans. oO I was wondering this back when that real estate sow needed a vacay to Mexico while waiting trial for sedition. When did they open their doors to us again?

Wasn't his first story about how somehow his house was the only one that still had power, so all the little neighbor kids were there playing with his kids?

So...I guess the power went out after that and he sent them all home to freeze and his girls said, "Hey, Daddy, let's jet off to Cancún!"

I've noticed that many nerds dislike BBT. I know of two possible explanations: - Every single character is a terrible person and watching terrible people is unpleasant. - It hits a bit too close to home, they recognize some of themselves in the neutral parts of the characters so they feel personally insulted by the negative parts.

I checked which one it was, and it was not what I was expecting. I expected something black humor-y, something horror-mirthy. It was just the concept of laughing so hard you cry. Interesting to see that that is too over the top even for Americans. Normally for Americans everything is AMAZING and AWESOME instead of just nice or OK.
