I’m confused.

The best place to talk about freedom is on Russian teevee? C’mon, meteor!

O.K. fess up, which of you characters is (are) dating Alyona?

[Episiarch]

All of them, obviously. Including Katherine.

Balko has his eye on another TV anchor…why do you think Greg Gutfeld took a week off recently?

I’ll be in my bunk.

Matt, holy shit you dressed like a normal man but drop the clown shoes, and the “Something About Mary” hairstyle

Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything’s OK,
But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
‘Till things are brighter, I’m the Man In Black.

I don’t want to hear the tea party voice delve into anything but size and scope of government as a dollar figure. Once you try to get them shouting collectively about other issues, the fracturing begins in earnest. Let’s focus on controlling the size of government first.

I don’t see any leather jacket.

They must mean Nick’s leather underwear.

(snort) Thanks for not taking yourselves too seriously, unlike some media organizations.

Somewhere, Nick is wearing nothing but a leather jacket.

“Our own Radley Balko is probably the best journalist in the country coverthing this stuff”

Agreed. Didn’t need those last three words though.
