Took Roseanne long enough to come up with that explanation.

A little too late.

The people who run ABC are certainly low-IQ people.

Roseanne is really stupid if she thinks that, at this point, the Left is going to surrender the scalp they claimed off of her.

The author of the book actually was comparing apes to WWII Japanese.

44 Ambien Stories That Will Creep You Out

I started taking Ambien a couple months back to help get more restful sleep. The first night I took it I hallucinated that all of the clothes in my closet had turned into zombies that were planning a sneaky attack on me. It was so weird, I could see them whispering to one another. At one point I remembered my child hood teddy bear was trapped in the closet with the zombies and I needed to rescue him. I bust out my iPhone, call my best friend to fill him in on the situation and proceed to turn on the light saber app and swing my phone back and forth at the closet. I managed to snatch my teddy bear and go to sleep after a little bit.

Rod Serling didn't write Planet of the Apes. Pierre Boulle did.

Serling wrote the screen play for the 1968 film, based on Boulle's original story.

Serling wrote the first draft. It went through several rewrites.

I thought she was referring to Jarrett’s appearance, since her hairdo at various times has been a “Planet of the Apes” thing with the hair raked back in a weird way. The Muslim bit was because Jarrett was always seen with a hijab when she was in the ME.

I actually didn’t know Jarrett was part black for a long time, and it’s certainly not obvious from her features or skin color. On the other hand, she wasn’t Arab or Iranian either. Jarrett grew up in Iran, but her family (her father was a doctor with a charity) was American.

DO NOT hitch your wagon to crazy.

The hype around her show was a promotion scam and too many people fell for it.

Don't trust the Hollywood machine even if it appears to be on our side.

You can watch with a skeptical eye from the sideline but don't get swept up in their PR game.

I’ll say it again, she owes apes an apology.

She’s doing less digging than those who are predisposed to dislike her...
