A fun test you will NOT get 100% on.

"Idea: Deliberately allow terrorists to commit an attack on one's own country in order to show the people how much they need their leader.

Supervillain = Wrong"

Yeah. I stopped after this.

The space mirrors! I love the space mirrors.

"If this had been a Muslim country and they had done that, and had Muhammad doing that stuff, you would have found bombs being thrown off!" he ranted on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Yeah you twisted old moron, that why it's better to live here.  Is he advocating that Christians throw bombs at 30 Rock?  He needs to retire or die.  Either one.

He needs to retire or die.  Either one.

I'm not supporting Pat, but that skit was awful.

[Wolfe]

I disagree. I really liked that sketch, and I didn't even know who this Tebone character was at the time. Sudekis was great in it.

[Wolfe]

I was just poking around a few news articles because I didn't realize that this sketch had become a thing, and I found out through one of them that Sudekis is dating Olivia Wilde. This after he dated January Jones earlier this year. Dude does alright for himself.

Yeah, I thought that sketch was awesome. But the second I saw it, I knew someone was gonna boo hoo. I just figured Fox News, but Pat doesn't really come as a surprise.

I had basically the same reaction.  It's starting to become a little weird the way guys like Robertson fetishize Islamic theocracies.

Tebow is mentioned so often on ESPN's SportsCenter that there are drinking games for every time his name is mentioned.

I watched the sketch last night after my friend hyped it up. After watching it, the first thing he said was "not as funny as I remember". And I will say that although I said "awful", that was too harsh of a word. I just didn't find it funny.


...Okay. I did like the "I've got a cloud to catch", but that's nothing new.

Rick Santorum is tied with Romney.  SCAAAAARY

[nate.3.0]

I don't even know how the fuck that happened. Of all of the crazies on that ticket, he's tops.  Actually... no, that explains things....

[ExpendablesFan]

It's weird Romney got almost the exact same vote count he did in 2008. Or maybe that isn't weird.

[LpF]

It's hilarious how much the GOP so so doesn't want the guy who's kinda obviously the most presidential, least ridiculous candidate.  Santorum?  Goodness.

[ExpendablesFan]

Romney is a shockingly bad speaker. He always seems frazzled. His Iowa speech right now is horrible compared to Santorum's. Who is crazy, but is good at the nice guy thing when he isn't seething with hate.
