- Damn you Carter!! -- nm - decline Feb 17, 11:24

- hack -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 11:09
- It's because you think that that I don't trust you as a storyteller, Zack. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 17, 11:08
- Just admit it was dumb—those characters have more common ground than their moms’ name. It’s like David Chase and the Sopranos ending - Flavorize— Feb 17, 11:04 3
  - I liked the Sopranos ending 8-| -- nm - JD Feb 17, 11:12 2
    - 🤷‍♂️—I still maintain that Chase was purposely being a dick, with that ending, as retribution of the damning criticism of the show’s last few seasons - Flavorize— Feb 17, 11:27
    - He died. -- nm - David Feb 17, 11:12

Just a reminder - Limbaugh denied, even as he was dying of lung cancer, that there was anything harmful about smoking. That's his character in a - colin Feb 17, 10:10 19
- I think Rush excelled at going after Pres Clinton. Got famous for taking the “moral high ground”— built his reputation on being the “moral compass” - Flavorize— Feb 17, 11:21

- Sometimes the best that can be said of someone after their death is "good riddance". -- nm - TWuG Feb 17, 10:29
- I don't celebrate anyone's death an I pray that he had remorse toward the end for any bad things he did. - ty97 Feb 17, 10:25 1

- Wait what? Rush died? Wow. Ditto that inner message Colin. Ditto that. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 17, 10:22
- I was always deeply uncomfortable with the friendships he had in Braves management. - David Feb 17, 10:16 5

- this -- nm - Jovian Feb 17, 10:12
Good thing Trump isn't president anymore he wanna give Rush a state funeral -- nm - eag Feb 17, 10:05 5

  - Presidential Medal of Freedom. Not the Medal of Honor. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 10:22 2
    - Couldn't remember, but it doesn't really change the sentiment. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 10:51 1
      - Yup. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 10:54
