I don't want to say that the people on House Hunters are bad at their jobs, but I have never seen an episode where they even look in a hospital. The man diagnoses rare diseases, if you're trying to hunt him look in more hospitals and fewer ranch style homes!

My favorite thing about the right wing conspiracy theories regarding the LA mayoral race is that the central thesis of the conspiracy assumes it’s impossible that most people simply don’t want one of the more reviled reality tv stars from a few decades ago to be mayor

The Who’s down in Whoville all look the same and seem to all share a last name, which suggests it’s a deeply incestuous community. The grinch looks much different and is not named Who perhaps making him the result of an extra-family affair?
