Chester A. Arthur, a fixture of New York's patronage system, did a 180 to our collective benefit in 1883.
El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago, the leader of the Republican Party and its presumptive presidential nominee, held another wankfest over the weekend, this one in South Carolina, the home office of American sedition.

Remember: Fiscal responsibility was, is, and always will be the coolest look of them all. This deal, which shaves $60 off the asking price, is music to our ears. Jake Johnson has made his name playing sweet, interesting, multi-dimensional characters, from Nick Miller, New Girl's misanthropic bartender turned romantic hero, to Peter B. Parker, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse's sad sack with a heart of gold. Now, in HBO Max's raunch-com Minx, premiering March 17, he's channeled that same sensibility into one of his greatest characters yet: Doug Renetti, a wheeler-dealer publisher of erotic magazines in louche Los Angeles circa the 1970s. That didn't stop her from "crying her eyes out" over comparisons between her son and Paul Atreides. 21 novels with no obvious road map. Let's dive in! The Academy Award-winning actor, who died Sunday at the age of 71, appeared on the cover of Esquire in 1986 and left quite an impression on the writer. "What I respect about Bill is that he's not afraid to sound like an asshole," Sigourney Weaver said at the time. |
