‘Hell, no.”

It will suck. It will suck, because the original concept worked only because the show was steeped in the Nineties, and that was twenty years ago, and that era is dead. An updated, successful version would be effectively a different show, so you might as well call it something else. And Hollywood doesn’t have the moral courage to make a successful updated version.

So: not just no. Hell, no.

PS: This is a great webcomic that Shaenon really needs to start up again.

I really kind of liked living in a world where our enemies weren’t becoming steadily more emboldened to do things like this in public, and on the record.

Well, at least I don’t have to spend too much time trying to figure out which side I’m on.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. And if Valerie Jarrett really is the President’s gatekeeper, then she’s responsible for what happened to the guy this weekend:

Somebody decided to leak that they had no clue what was going on, thinking this was better than the alternative.

…Although I am starting to wonder whether Official Washington is gleefully setting Valerie Jarrett as the scapegoat for all of the Obama administration’s many, many communications sins. Very possibly: the woman is hated, the woman is feared, and best of all: the woman is not from Dizzy City. Mind you, I’m not really upset if Valerie Jarrett is being set up to take the fall, largely because she’s kind of earned it and I don’t see how her impact crater is going to splash over on anybody I care about. Guess that means that This Town is getting to me, too.  Maybe I should change my filtration mask filters…

It’s not a 100% rule, of course.  I’m sure that there’s been a time or three when we have.  But our mistake is in being too loyal*. Ask Senator Manchin how he feels about that right now:

Manchin asks, after Landrieu comes one vote short: "Would the republicans leave someone hanging like that on their side?"

*No, it’s actually a mistake sometimes. Usually when the person that we’re being loyal to doesn’t really deserve it.

…so stop scooping my post ideas, OK?

.@Choostas We don’t need to belittle, humiliate, and delegitimize President Obama. He’s handling that job all by himself.

As you can see, this was in response to some dude or dudette on the Internet’s getting all bent out of shape because Jim noted that when Rep. Joe Wilson (SC) shouted “YOU LIE!” at Barack Obama’s claim that Obamacare would be extended to illegal immigrants, Joe Wilson turned out to be… correct; they’re talking about doing that. Which I was on the verge of looking up, except that Jim beat it to me. While on vacation, the so-and-so.

Ach, well. At least I got the Frank J Fleming interview in before he did.

It’s a goram minefield, in fact.

Needless to say, the question would not ari… would not come u… I do not patronize prostitutes.

And you were wondering how Missouri Democrats could possibly contribute to their party’s overall cycle of public relations idiocy.

PS: Bah. I don’t need easy targets like that to exercise my snark.

PPS: Annnnnnnd they deleted it. No matter; it served its purpose.

Do it as nicely as you can, too.

Remember: when Democrats claim we stole the election Tuesday, kindly remind them there's no such thing as voter fraud.

I am so manfully repressing all the dairy-related puns that I could be making right now.

I hope I would have, because what this kid did was money.

And if I’m reading that check mark right, the kid got away with it, too.

I made it to about 6:52. I dimly remember that one.
