 All these comments about Albert not being in character during
the 12-1 episode tempts me to post a little observation:

 During the Drawing Room Sce... er, the scene at the bar, you
can see Albert pour a drink from a hip flask, take a healthy
slug, and then pass the flask to Cooper. The camera is panning
over this bit of business to the anteroom, so it's easy to
miss. Is Albert a lush? Is Cooper?
 Maybe Albert is too hungover to be his usual cheery self;
maybe he's been hanging out too much with the Judge.

 The same scene brings out a curious trait about the product
placements: they all seem to be for products that don't,
or no longer, exist. Note the two "Best" Genuine Draft neon
signs on the walls: they look just like "Miller" Genuine
Draft signs.
 And Leland's convertible with the "Adam's" dealer logo
on the trunklid, perhaps from a local GM dealership/Abortion
Clinic?
 Of course, James' "Hog" is real enough... Do they ever
actually call it a Harley Davidson?
 Well, this may have some bearing on the proposition that
TP occurs in an alternate, and mostly similar Universe,
where objective Evil exists, and not only do people talk
to logs, the logs talk back.

 Goodnight Bambi Sickafoose- Whoever you are.
