So... a few (dozen) nuclear bombs exploded in the USA, and the whole country collapsed? WHY? Rural America can't live without New York and Chicago? Money completely disappeared and everyone regressed to trade in kind. WHY? Paper money existed LONG before electricity and internet. And precious metals were used as money before it was called money. And within 8 weeks from "The Bombs" there are six presidents and six governments? HOW? Power grab of these proportions takes time and A LOT of resources. See American History Pre-Revolution and actually any world history book. Foreign powers would move in MUCH quicker than local politicians gain enough momentum to make a claim.
BS-du-jour 1: A shifty latino guy is standing in a bar... on the beach... and asks his fiancé to "give us a moment"... AND SHE LEAVES, instead of telling him to make two steps outside.
BS-du-jour 2: Mommy Johnston comes to the bar to talk to the bartender who is her son's mistress. And she doesn't care that the bar is in full swing and her son's new love is WORKING. She "thinks it's time for us to sit down and talk", and NOTHING can change that. Can't she come like at closing time or like at noon? Same cliché is repeated over and over and over again in hundreds of movies and shows. Also (c), Mommy Johnston says she "won't be able to forgive" the poor girl. Uhm... did anyone actually TELL her they need her forgiveness? And what exactly does she want? For her son to live in a loveless marriage? Some mommy!
BS-du-jour 3: A guy is talking to his 6-year-old son and tells him he didn't cry when he was teething as a baby, "because you were the strongest person I've ever seen". No wonder his wife divorced him and he had to steal his kids. This guy is a MENACE. The boy, however, is equally dumb. When "daddy" tells him he's leaving for work for a few days, the boys asks... "Are you mad at me?". NO, DAMNIT! HE'S LEAVING FOR WORK!!! DUH!
BS-du-jour 4: China and Germany airdrop humanitarian aid in USAF nets but no one cares to put in ONE sheet of paper with a more or less detailed description of what happened? Would be MUCH more helpful than "Don't fight. China is your friend", doncha think?
PS How many dumb greedy politicians did Michael Gaston portray in various TV shows? It must be in the hundreds. Isn't he tired of always playing the same role?
