This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.

A sweet old lady wrote me to ask if I would help her out by signing off Jeopardy! every night saying "Don't forget your night medicine, my friends." I am actively considering this.

(watching Homicide: Life on the Street) Melissa Leo is WEAK on Crime!

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Time for the birth of terror. Me

This is a Penn Jillette thing, I think, but my friends and I started doing it in college and I mentioned it once on Jeopardy!. I do still do it (but quietly when I'm at a theater). For example, you get to applaud 3 times in the Sy Hersh documentary "Cover-Up," which I watched last night.

My company that makes extras of the less-common gas price numerals (4s through 8s) is having its best year ever. We're about to roll out a "10" placard that fits in a single column. Thank you Mr. President!

At the airport, I just saw an actor who was one of the “maesters” from Game of Thrones, looking very confused about which escalator he should take. He’s just not made for these modern times!

One thing I just can’t get enough of: mentioning an email attachment and then forgetting to attach the file. It’s a real passion of mine.

Stocks soar on 2-week postponement of Armageddon.

Sure, I spent the '80s watching action movies that were mostly military revenge fantasies about the Middle East. But then I went to college and spent the '90s watching movies mostly about Tehran schoolgirls trying to accomplish various simple tasks. The Iranian New Wave would fix a lot of people.
