    this.
    This is like saying a critic excels in the field at which they criticize.

    Last I checked Ebert only had terrible films in his history, the Louvre wasn't hanging many paintings by renowned art critics, and Yahtzee's games were largely only "okay" from a gameplay perspective.

    It's easy to point out how the other guy fucked up (especially when you have a team of writers). It's not easy to do a good job yourself.

    No, bro. Tyrion isn't just someone who is "too cool" for the rulership. He doesn't want it. He's content with controlling everything else. He's basically the Westeros Illuminati. ALL BY HIMSELF.

    I disagree with Tyrion. The others are more or less fine.

    I feel like such a failure of a Scottish person for hating the bagpipes as much as I do. Well... I don't mind them. But only if they're part of a Celtic ensemble. Solo bagpipes is like nails on a blackboard. And I should know. I have to hear them every single time I go to the high street.
    But competent is resigning to mediocrity! I wish to be the best. Like no one ever was. But thanks for the ego boost. Just for that I shall practice until I lose all feeling in my hands.

    The next province over was heavily settled by the Scottish. I've taken more than a few excursions over there in my days. I feel your pain.

    Ah, yeah. The Colbert comparison. Yeah, I can disagree with that. Stephen Colbert the CHARACTER would be an awesome president. Stephen Colbert the MAN however, wouldn't be.

    But he breaks character so oddly and frequently. You're never sure whether he's a lovable dumbass or a guy that actually knows how the world functions, because it changes depending on what joke he's going for at the moment. And since it's all on camera, I guess that means it's all canon. Granted, that still kinda makes him more consistent than Mitt Romney.

    HEYO!

    Mitt Romney = John Kerry. Why is this not obvious by now?

    Bill O-Reily would be the best president for us.
