The Simpsons
Posted by Kevin

Did anyone else see The Simpsons last night? It’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to watch, but I thought last night’s episode was bloody brilliant. They touched on so much last night: babies sharing (presumably) drug-coated pacifiers; opportunistic suckling; cops beating babies with billy clubs; Libertarian politics (”Why should we have to pay for other people’s kids?”); political attack ads; Rudi Giuliani worship; or, my favorite:

Guy #1: “Hey, Mr. Burns is signing the petition, maybe we should, too.”
Guy #2: “Yeah. Rich people always want what’s best for everyone!”

Great, great stuff.

    The Simpsons has been very strong lately. This episode is one of my favorites. The new episode (with little Homer and Marge in camp) was also brilliant.

    Carl: Man, I hope someday someone sends love in my shaft.

    (I’m not sure of the exact wording, but the homoerotic undertones were clear)

    Yep, that was the one. I only saw it because the TiVo decided to record it for me. I assumed (incorrectly) that it was a new episode.
