- Comment on Where are the good political songs? 4 months ago:
If you like Rage Against the Machine, Tom Morello did a solo project called The Nightwatchman that had a lot of great protest songs. I think it’s closer to 15 years old, so not the last 10.
- Comment on The Ancient and Forgotten Swastikas 8 months ago:
The same thing is happening now with Norse/Scandinavian symbols being co-opted by far right-wing groups. The Gadsden flag was taken by people who claim to be Libertarians but want the government to help and protect them and not “others”, so that’s out too. The symbols I mentioned are maybe still salvageable in my lifetime but I think the swastika in ruined for a long time.

Just one of the Broncos actually, Scott Tenorman’s dad
- Comment on What's it called when pronunciations are sounded out with normal letters? 8 months ago:
I believe you’re thinking of phonetically, or spelling it how you hear it.
- Comment on Drew Barrymore’s Co-Head Writer Says Drew ‘Will Prolong the Strike’ by Resuming Show: ‘It’s Not Too Late’ to ‘Stand in Solidarity’ With the WGA 9 months ago:
Conan is a WGA member that ran his show during the last writer’s strike. At the end of the day I think your second point is the most important, Jon Stewart and Conan are likable, Drew Barrymore and Bill Maher aren’t. Either way it’s a double standard that I think is valid to bring up.

I’m going to start by saying: I stand with the unions and don’t think she should be working.
I have one question though, the article indicates she isn’t violating any of the strike rules for the WGA or SAG, so how is this different than when Jon Stewart, Colbert, and Conan kept their shows going during the last writers strike? No one called them scabs at that time. I don’t really care about her one way or the other, it seems like a double standard though.
- Comment on it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know 9 months ago:
Yeah, this thought is someone trying to comprehend apples to oranges.
Then there’s the throw away comment of how you barely know anyone there, that’s a personal thing. I work for a small company now but I used to work for a hospital with over 2,000 employees, I didn’t know most of them but I knew the 100 or so people I interacted with pretty well and did things outside of work with many of them on more than one occasion.

Honest question, does jeopardy have writers or actors?
