In Texas, it is.

He takes it and attempts to set it on the PA and grab it with his mouth, but accidentally spills it all over the speaker. So he grabs it with his hand, chugs it, and climbs back on stage, but loses his footing and down goes Grohl.

Instead of pretty ribbons and bows, there is dirt and grime and a complicated narrative structure that sets up the show to be a puzzle for its audience to figure out.

This is what the New York Times' Jamelle Bouie this week called "welfare chauvinism"—a method to redistribute resources in a way that enforces racial hierarchies. This is the same impulse that made Mexico Is Gonna Pay For It such an applause line at rallies. It's not enough to build it and keep Them out. We're going to make Them pay for The Giant Middle Finger Monument, so we take some of what's Theirs while we give Them the finger. Read More           The Good Place in The Good Place Might Not Be So Good After All   The big message from The Good Place has always been a big philosophical hodgepodge. But after spending time in the Bad Place, the Real Bad Place, Earth, The Medium Place, and now the mailroom of The Good Place, it seems no one in the universe has any idea what the fork is going on. And if that's the message The Good Place has been building up to all along, it might be it's biggest and best twist yet.
