I do not think that word means what you think it means

The FOX News meme that Hitler was a leftist because "nazi" is the acronym for "national socialism" is absurd, revisionist, and 100% wrong.

An easy rebuttal: If socialists are equivalent to Nazis because the same word is used in the names of both groups, then the modern GOP are all loyal to Saddam Hussein's "Republican guard."

Yeats sums it up perfectly

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity."

Although I hesitate to characterize the left as "the best" across the board, there is certainly a sense (captured in this cartoon) that the worst, craziest elements of society possess the most 'passionate intensity' these days.

(It's "The Second Coming" btw.)

Venture Brothers, always ignored

I guess because it's animated, and not on a big network?

The season premiere that aired last week had more twists, references, and plot than the entire season of FlashForward looks to have.

Best show on TV right now.
