SO NOW YOU ALL KNOW MY TERRIBLE SECRET
Today my registration of areasofmyexpertise.com expired, and so you learned my terrible secret: it is registered via GoDaddy.  The domain was registered 7 years ago on my behalf by the web-fellow at my publishing house. At that time I did not know that GoDaddy would become controversial for supporting SOPA and shooting elephants.  These were not things that thrilled me about GoDaddy, and as my...

Is there any issue more important this election...
Yes. The answer is EVERY ISSUE. The idea that political discourse, particularly in an election year, was EVER civil is the most delusional nostalgia.  That is all.

Dan Harmon Poops: HEY, DID I MISS ANYTHING?  →
danharmon: Kids: A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know.

“I hope you have fully recovered from your illness, and don’t let anything...”
– There is little more restorative on a hanged-over, rained-out day than reading the weird literary mash notes Groucho Marx and TS Eiliot wrote to each other as they spent two years planning, and failing, to have dinner together.  (Oh god. Now I’m truly turning into Cavett)
