Family Guy is many things. It is reliably liberal, it is reliably depraved, and it is hilarious. However, one thing it is not is above poking fun at liberals, while pointing out salient truths.
On Sunday night’s episode, titled ‘Underage Peter,’ Brian and Peter go to the Mayor’s house to protest a new law that raised the drinking age to 50. Originally, Peter planned to get the law changed by…
As we’ve talked about pretty much every time we discuss Madam Secretary, the entire point of this show is to help Hillary Clinton get elected President. Sometimes that takes the form of showing how she would handle major international conflicts. And sometimes that involves giving her a complete pass for causing international conflicts.
Like in this scene, where Madam Hillary pleads with the…
Karl Marx made an appearance on Sunday night’s edition of CBS’s Madam Secretary, titled ‘Right of the Boom.’ And not just in the sense that Madam Secretary believes in the aggressive use of government force and power with little to no regard for human history, or the life lessons that it offers.
No, this time they actually quote him. At the hospital where her husband recovers from uranium…
This thing is disturbing on so many levels. It is not just a student prank we are talking about or juvenile indiscretion. We are talking about a repugnant act in question if indeed it was done as the woman said it was rather than the way Peyton said it was. None of us are naive enough not to understand that of course the university was not going to go too -- or was going to go all the way in…
The apparent attempt to smear Peyton Manning on his way out the door continued unabated on ESPN’s Around the Horn, Monday afternoon.
Washington Post columnist and frequent Around the Horn guest Kevin Blackistone was asked by host Tony Reali “where he was” with the story regarding Peyton Manning’s alleged sexual assault twenty years ago:
It proves to me how institutions create and protect…
So it’s been a while since I’ve written about Showtime’s Billions. Mainly because the show is just awesome and largely unbiased.
Yes, you’ve got the portrayal of Wall Street-types as something akin to 21st Century Robber Barons. But I get that, if you’re trying to make a television show fun to watch. It’s a lot more entertaining to watch traders and investors scream obscenities at each and…
After Stewie and Brian get done taking care of business on the tennis court, Brian uses an unfortunate analogy to describe his court dominance:
Stewie: My word, Brian, you're really improving. We might actually win this thing.
Brian: Thanks. You know, I just pretend that tennis ball is Mitch Mcconnell trying to roll back subsidies on the Affordable Care Act, and I'm like, "Nope!"
Stewie: Yeah…
In an episode titled ‘An App a Day,’ it appears Peter and Lois’ son Chris decided to send a picture of his “member” to a girl in class. Which of course necessitates a sit-down with the principal:
Principal: Thank you for coming, Mr. And Mrs. Griffin. We've got a bit of a situation, which is why I've asked Officer Swanson to join us. It appears Chris sent an inappropriate photo of himself to one…
Here, a Muslim women’s rights activist gives her speech. Madam Hillary puts the pieces together (of course) that the same people who stole the uranium are the same people who want the women’s rights activists dead.
Though, the chosen suicide bomber for this particular mission has a rather peculiar complexion for an Islamic terrorist:
Guard: Can I check your bag, please?
Noura: Sometimes it's…
Consistent with its sole reason for existence, which is paving the way for the eventual ascension of Hillary Clinton to the Oval Office, Madam Secretary took occasion to remind us on Sunday night, in an episode titled ‘Left of the Boom,’ that Madam Hillary is the one person in Washington who understands why 9/11 happened, and maybe, no definitely, would have been the only person who could have…
