- S2 was much more enjoyable for me. And I wish Mahershala Ali got more taking off his shirt material. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 24, 16:33
- I read this as "house of cats." that would likely not have been as good. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Feb 24, 16:32

I'm honestly not seeing what you guys are in Murray's statement - Reagen Feb 24, 16:06 13
- [deleted] 2
  - They say comedy is a defense mechanism. He must really be hurting. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 24, 16:22
  - "He was a person. We did movies together." -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 24, 16:21
- It reads like they are no longer friends, but that he appreciates what they did together. - ralph wiggum Feb 24, 16:17 1
  - I wouldn't have made the choice to be figurative. "Earning your keep" is kinda vulgar -- nm - con_carne Feb 24, 16:20

    - Even so, "I loved him" or "I'll miss him dearly" is a reflex comment when it's sincere. -- nm - David Feb 24, 16:28

After Yanukovych fled Kiev, his residence was nationalized and people got a good look at how their leader had been living. - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 24, 15:55 8
- They showed how the president of Chechnya is living now on NBC before the Olympics. He's like a little Putin copy. - pmb Feb 24, 16:08
- and then today Michael Savage compared those people to what US citizens would think if they got to peek into Michele Obama's closet.. - Jovian Feb 24, 15:59 3
