Select a favorite TV show, film, or book, and describe the most improbable or implausible thing the audience is asked to accept. The most ridiculous thing about The Big Bang Theory is that we're supposed to believe that these people would continue to tolerate the presence of Jim Parson's character, who has no people skills. In real life, Sheldon Cooper would probably have no friends and would need to be diagnosed and medicated. The most ridiculous thing about How I Met Your Mother is that we're supposed to believe that Ted is straight...and that Bernie is straight. I hope the show ends with the two of them getting married, and the mother turning out to be a surrogate.

"The New York Times reports: 'For decades, a small group of scientific dissenters has been trying to shoot holes in the prevailing science of climate change, offering one reason after another why the outlook simply must be wrong.' Initially they claimed that weather stations exaggerated the warming trend. This was disproven by satellite data which shows a similar warming trend. Next, solar activity was blamed for much of the warming. This looked like a promising theory until the '80s, when solar output started to diverge from global temperatures. Now, climate contrarians are convinced that changes in cloud cover will largely mitigate the warming caused by increased CO2. The New York Times examines how even this last bastion for dissenters is crumbling. Over the past few years, Several papers have shown that rather than being a mitigating factor, changes in cloud cover due to warming may actually enhance further warming."

Having suffered through productions of RENT and tick, tick...BOOM, I've come to the opinion that, had Larson not passed away, neither of these musicals would've been a success.

...if she had not gotten the part of Nellie Oleson. I mean, look at her in this video taped in her young adulthood; she is glamorous and beautiful. One can easily imagine her on one of the nighttime soaps of the late Eighties.

He went three minutes without saying it, but after it came out, he said it over and over like a zombie: Chicago has proved it is WORLD CLASS WORLD CLASS WORLD CLASS WORLD CLASS. You could almost see the urine-infused jizz dribbling down his pants: David Cameron gave a PRESS CONFERENCE on the GREEN ROOF of CITY HALL! He had NEVER BEEN to Chicago! Later in the press conference Emmanuel dutifully admitted Chicago ranks only tenth in tourism among US cities and said "We are performing below our weight class" which I think is one comment that even the anti-Chicago trolls at Datalounge would agree with.

Why would anyone risk predicting the outcome of a Supreme Court case? Why does CNN allow him to babble on this way? I thought the that one of the main rules of journalistic reporting was that the reporter himself should only cover a story and not become part of the story.

If it weren't a dude, I'd swear it was a MichFester.

I often wonder if the fact that I didn't date when I was a teenager a factor in the way I see myself as a gay man now? Last night my friends -who were straight men-were talking about dating when they were teenagers. I had nothing to say. I didn't even attend my prom. This issue may be moot for the present generation-but back in the seventies and eighties I would never have been able to date anyone but a girl. I can' t believe that teenage dating would be that important in my emotional development. Is it? Or is that just another excuse to explain my piss poor relationship history?

"We have tried negotiation with the administration and legislation with the Congress, and we'll keep at it, but there's still no fix," said New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "Time is running out, and our valuable ministries and fundamental rights hang in the balance, so we have to resort to the courts now."

Not really, but my nephew and his bride-to-be asked me to officiate their wedding in the fall. I am thrilled, but I also suffer a bit from stage fright. I am determined to make this day a success, so I've got to overcome this obstacle. What do DLers suggest? Improv class? Toastmasters?

Is it true that the Natalie Wood film Inside Daisy Clover was supposed to be much more biting and lots of editing took out the film's teeth? Wasn't there supposed to be much more about Redford's character being gay and a much more scathing look at Hollywood and child stars and such?

E! News caught up with John Legend at the EW-ABC party on Wednesday night, and when they asked the singer his thoughts on the recent news that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are joining FOX's singing competition, "The X-Factor" as judges, Legend said the news was "interesting." "It should be very interesting. I don't have much to say," said Legend, who is set to star in ABC's new singing competition, "Duets." "It's interesting when people, you know, are judging singing competitions when they aren't really singers." Ouch! We don't know who John has been listening to, but Demi is absolutely a singer! Has he heard her amazing vocals on "Skyscraper" or the pitch-perfect "For the Love of A Daughter?" We love you, John Legend. But, perhaps you need to give Demi a second listen.
