    So, those two normal people got to meet both Bobcat Goldthwait and Dean Cain? Cool.

    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.

    @Pope John Peeps II: But isn't puke already in a regular episode of Two and a Half Men? Oh, no, that's Charlie Sheen's ego.

    But can you use this contraption as a blanket when you're sleeping on a park bench?


    The broadsheet is the classic homeless guy blanket. Tabloid works in a pinch but it's sort of the Ladies model of last ditch shelter.


    And you can't take that away, apple.

    Give it up already! If the internet existed, but there were no newspapers, would there be a reason to invent them? No. That's all you need to know.

    Meh, the Times probably swiped it from somewhere else already anyway. Newspapers aren't known for their originality.

    I come here for two reasons.


    1) To hear you and Aaron and the rest's commentary on it.


    2) Put my dick mittens on Ryan Tate.


    So fuck where the news comes from. Bring on your noise and your funk.

    I'm thinking that the PA City Council/Planning Commission/Permit Bureau may not be so quick to grant forgiveness. It sets a bad precedent, and it's basically a license for them to print money. I see a big, fat fine in Larry's future.

    @Matthew_Maurice: But those fines usually have a maximum set for normal people. Say $1,000, which equals $20 to him. A better way may be to limit the fines to a percentage of the construction cost (which is how some permit fees are handled).

    As a resident of Calfornia and student of history, I hope I may be forgiven for laughing at the notion of a 100-year-old historic home.


    It’s obnoxious that he didn’t acquire a permit. Billionaires understand that they have to obey the law. They also understand that they can afford not to. I am sure he views the legal limit of fines and the de facto limit of legal fees as a (possibly) necessary expense of the project.

    There are different permits for different things: demolition, grading, foundation construction, etc.

    @fugit: I'd argue that the most important job of a CEO is removing obstacles from her team's path. And human resources, if done well, should be about that. I grant that it is rarely done well.
