Concur that it's clever, but has a the connotation of calling the president a moron, which is fine as natter, but not so much as a thread title.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't suppose we could just get Sports Night back. No? Peter Krause's free! Six Feet Under is done!
Wasn't he miserable doing SN? Or was that Josh Charles?

I don't let things like the actor's wishes interfere with my desire for more good TV.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've had Minearverse 5: We're Crafty stuck in my head for a couple of months.

Oh, that's too bad. It wasn't actually meant to have that strong of a political connotation. I was mostly thinking of Tim's new series (it is "Drive", right?) and then that five and drive rhyme, and then a political thing tangentially (because it is something Bush actually said, right? I didn't see Michael Moore's film, because I don't like how he tells stories), in that the board is largely liberal, and my understanding is that Tim is somewhat conservative (although I've never paid any focused attention to his specific politics).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think it's escapable for the most part. I haven't seen the movie myself, but my first thought was of the movie, and of Moore's views.

I thought of it, too, but I guess I thought because it was Tim's thread, it balanced it. Whatever. It just tickled me, so I shared.

I also thought of a bit of a "distraction" vibe, as we often venture into off-topic-land in this thread. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I'm getting the pig!
Ah. That makes sense. Sadly, I didn't connect any of it to politics or Bush or Moore.

I don't think most people know much of anything about Tim's political leanings.
It was clever, though.
