Who the hell still does cocaine? Especially in Seattle? Especially who could like maybe line me up with an eight-ball for the weekend?

Even though in the past I liked cocaine when it was around, these days I refuse to buy or partake in it until our war on drugs is over (+ Iike adderall better, lol). The amount of blood and suffering on one little Eight Ball is unbelievable while America sees all of the benefits.

yes, join the movement against stupidity.

a major obstacle in the US against the use of rationality is the dominance of the corporatocracy and the illusion of a democracy. Because of the legalized graft and the depth of political deception, change here will be slower. but it will come. the slowness to change, especially in the spectrum of climatology and planet change, may soon make the US a worldwide villain.

The principal goal of the US, as an empire, is to maintain that empire.
as a pretext, the drug war has always been a method of maintaining that empire.

corruption, climate/planet change and resource depletion will dictate the eventual collapse of that empire, along with it's stupidity.
or so the magic eight ball says

Magic eight ball says "Check again later"... I'll let you guys know one way or the other later this week.

^Hey, is there any need to insult me and aggrandize yourself? "But at least my comments on the matter involve more thought than yours." Jeesh.

I didn't miss his attempt to include the other guests -- however, that was way into the painful part and it wasn't the most scintillating topic. At that point, to me, the interview was way into Uncomfortable Land. Could Meg have expended more effort in playing into the vacuousness of that interchange? Yeah, she could have. I actually admire her for not doing so.

I take issue with how you characterize my description of his interview technique -- I did not say the things you ascribe to me. Rather than get into a back and forth with you, I'll just leave it at that.

My first post on this subject said that I thought that Part I showed a clash of cultures. I have watched some British talk shows and been surprised at how it appears that American celebrities can be ignorant of the nature of the shows that they are on. If you are correct that Parkinson typically does this kind of thing in an interview, I suspect that Ryan wasn't prepared for it.

I was a fan of Meg Ryan years ago -- her RomCom persona on-screen wore very thin over time. This interview, however uncomfortable it clearly was for both parties, has kindled my admiration for her. I liked how she discussed the characters, I thought she was pretty brave in her answers to his questions that clearly felt invasive to her. Yes, she was remarkably guarded and unprepared for his style of interviewing -- given that she started out behind the eight ball, I thought she hung in there really well and made some brave choices under the circumstances.

Well, this is all a tempest in a teapot. This happened years ago. And here we are discussing it as if it were Something Important.

He's better than me!

I love when he throws the cue in disgust. And when he scratches the cue ball. And when he scratches the cue ball and the eight ball in eh same shot.

Did I mention I have a degree in physics? Pool is my secrete shame...
