Good point, G-Man. It’s funny how liberals can mock Christianity all day, but if we mock their religion (environmentalism), they get offended. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it, guys.

The liberal reaction to parody of obama or global warming is akin to the Muslim reaction of parody of the prophet. Weird.

I like the dog. Same attitude I’ve got these days. Having to act all nice and the like, but really wanting to pounce and rip ‘em a new one! He’s the only one in the family that has any clue as to what’s even going on and yet he has no voice.

And the “Things That Are Good/Bad” display, with “Farm-Raised Catfish” flipping back and forth. The fruits with dramatically escalating prices: organic; organic & sustainable; organic, sustainable & local…

I enjoyed the bit at the grocery store when the mom’s looking up at the board trying to determine the “impact of your existence.”

I felt like taking a swing at someone tonight, so I went over to the AV Club review of "The Goode Family" and waded into the comments. If you want to join me, I'm "Mad Mike."

Here was a good line. Mr. Goode is trying to pacify his wife:

(sing-song voice) “Honey, the View is on! The pretty one’s saying something cra-zy!”

It was a very promising first episode. Some laugh-out-loud funny lines and sight gags. I wasn’t a fan of the son character—doesn’t seem to be much room for development there.

The show has affection for the Goodes, which was the right thing to do. No one—not the most rabid conservative—would want to tune in week after week to see a family of jackass liberals.

I’ll watch it again.
