Remember "Now watch this drive"? He gets no points for this. He had to be shamed into it.

My version is "for any of that to matter, I would first have to give a fuck what you think"

Springsteen's on that.

I've been thinking lately, I'd like a list of all the crazy shit he's proposed on a daily basis that never sees the light of day; or even makes it to the next newsday before it's supplanted by the next crazy shit. Yeah, he does a lot of horrible shit, but he keeps up the mental abuse in between with insane proposals that he never means to carry out, and are only there to keep us freaked out.

I understood his swing to the right (or public acknowledgement of an already existing political bent) after 9/11, with his producer and friend dying in the attacks.

But there's no excuse for supporting Trump, ESPECIALLY now. It only gets worse. Grammer can go to hell.

oh geez

He wrote Usual Suspects. Noted pedophile Bryan Singer directed it.

"Here's the thing" is one of his favorite phrases. A lot of people repeat that one, in fact.

I can do that in two seconds. Bending over to pick something up is a Homerian epic

The term "hate crime" was essentially nonexistent until the 1980's, and the first legislation to incorporate the term was passed in 1990. There are references to "hate crime" laws as far back as 1968, but they weren't called that at the time. They were redefined as such after the term came into use some 20-odd years later. "Hate crime laws" weren't an actual thing-- even simply in open discussion-- until the mid 80s/early 90s, with the major distinction being that crimes came with harsher penalties when they were prompted primarily by bigotry.

(EDIT) Fun fact: The Spanish Inquisition, that scourge of the Middle Ages with its torture chambers and burning of witches and Jews, wasn't officially ended until 1834.

Wow. I missed that one.
