How can you tell when blue cheese goes bad?

The actors in biopics are almost always considerably better looking than the people they depict. 

I have no idea how I have been able to survive all these years without tactical clothing.

Are we allowed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo these days? Is it a holiday that is legal in this country? 

In the US, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Yet at trial, defendants are found "not guilty". Innocent and not guilty are not exactly the same thing. 

Spinach is healthy. Spinach dip is not necessarily healthy.

How is it that The Spinners aren't in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

When they say "he/she needs no introduction" it is always followed by an introduction. 

"Happy as a clam" - are clams really happy? How do we know?

If you bought all the stuff advertised on Golf Channel, you apparently would shoot between 18 and 36 for a round. 

Why is the action hero almost always a "reluctant" hero who just wants to live a quiet life? Same for old western gunfighters or ex-Special Forces or superheroes of today.

Also, they are often untrue. More accurate would be Men Standing Around or A Man Working While Several Men Watch.

If everyone who says "my vote doesn't matter" was to vote, it would matter. 

The news gets more and more like YouTube or America's Funniest Home Videos every day. Cute cat videos, stupid human tricks, royal weddings, royal babies, etc. 

Having never seen Game of Thrones, I wasn't disappointed by the ending which I also didn't see. 

Ben Carson, HUD Secretary, should make every neurosurgeon very angry. We used to think brain surgeons were smart. Now, not so much. 

DOJ policies, practices, and procedures are not necessarily law unless affirmed by the courts.

Are there any common sense restrictions on guns that the NRA would accept?

Legal and right or moral are not the same thing.
