That illustration of how the brain comprehends sarcasm is a keeper!
“The lead actress, Morris, is from my home town, she used to make my meatball grinders”
There’s a joke in there some-place but out of respect for the the thread, I’ll just return to my own daily grind!
‘I stopped watching The Unit during the first season when the leader of the unit was sleeping with the wife of one of his own men.’
They caught a lot of hell over that, and ended it quickly.
This season has been pretty interesting, but like you I stopped watching, if only for that season, because of it.

This whole business reminds me of how the nazis pushed the Jews out of the civil society of Germany. First there was the vilification in print and cinema (”The eternal Jew” and “That Jew Suss”) for example. Then came the vilification in the schools i.e., Jewish children were mocked, harassed and ultimately beaten in the schools.
“The more things change, the more they remain the same.”
Oh, wow, good point. I’d never thought that.
I don’t know why anyone watches network television these days. It’s all garbage.
