Aren't all constraints of this nature artificial and self-imposed. The ultimate truth is that everything is permissible, nothing is forbidden*.

*if you can accept the consequences.

Treacher Lite: same great snark, less filler. Bring it on! As long as we still keep getting gems like, "For one thing, a lot more people would’ve seen it. "

At first I thought Dr. Julia was trolling the pro-mutilation crowd, showing where their absurdum reductios to. But no, I guess she really means it. Yikes.

If newsrooms had editors like they used to, yeah...the problem with modern journalism is that the business model is weak, so maintaining high editorial standards and competent editors is nonexistent. This extends to tv news and their producers. The only way he leaves is if he cost them more money to stay than if he left.

I don't mind if you ease up on yourself a bit. Just don't start with the Better Call Saul worship again.

It's not just a good ol' boys club. It's a LEFT-WING GOB's club. Like Lemon is going to accept "shaming". He'll come out wearing a dashiki and all will be good. Licht has to pull the trigger. Sorry, had to. Can't fire Lemon now once he "does" his penance. Right? "You said sensitivity training, I've done sensitivity training, now let me back to my old job." Just remember: Hillary wasn't past her prime for Lemon. Neither was Warren. "You can Google it."

To be lagging behind Santos morally. Wow.

You ARE getting closer to telling us, right?

I had no idea trannies were so angry and violent. At least the gays were kind of mellow and rainbows. (As my millennial daughter rolls her eyes and pretends  she doesn’t know me.)

Let's take a peek inside the CNN training room....

"Ok, Don, here's the first lesson in your training. These are Fox News's ratings in the morning time slot. And these are YOUR ratings. So the first thing to learn is, if YOUR ratings don't catch up to Fox's, you are of no damn use to this network, regardless of how many Emmys you have."

Rather have you at your best than get some half-baked play on words, puns and other assorted weakling bon mots.

I think I speak for most of us in saying, we love you just as you are.
