The rules on classified documents were, as your source makes clear. And we know that classified information passed through the server (http://nypost.com/2015/07/31/doz…), although it is possible that it was all mismarked as unclassified. The legal danger to HRC is real, if remote.

I don’t have hard data on individual sites, but the only empirical evidence I’m aware of suggests left-wing people establish more of an echo-chamber than conservatives, not less.

The problem with the Kinsey reports is that their methods of statistical collection were, in modern terms, absolute wild bullcrap. As BoxTurtleBulletin put it a couple years ago:

All he said was, “Every day in the nearly 1,000 abortions they do, they brutally rip apart about ... 100 gay babies...”

I defer to your local experience.

This should get all 54 Republicans on board, including the pro-choice ones, because it’s not a direct abortion restriction, but just a funding measure (and, let’s be honest here, any Republican who votes against this WILL lose their next primary, even in Maine). It should also nab the votes of the three Democrats who…

Huh? Of the eight people on that podium, seven of them were not even in federal office when the “fetal tissue donation” bill passed.

Hey! IDIC!

I live in St. Paul, Minnesota, which is roughly as blue than Oklahoma City is red (going by the Cook Partisan Voting Index and accounting for OK’s more thorough gerrymander). That level of hatred for W. was perfectly routine during his presidency — though there were also other Democrats who called out the haters for…

He’s multitasking.

I believe you have confused “racists” with “libertarians.” I’m certain a good chunk of the 28% would be personally willing to sell to black people, but don’t believe the government should impose their moral values on others. (How large a chunk, we’ll never know, since the GSS doesn’t dig deeper.)

Indirectly, yes — insofar as the CO Health Dept. assessment is based on this study, if the study is wrong, then so is the savings estimate.

Can you imagine what the response of average Californians would BE to that signature-collector? I think the result would be more heartening than you think.

Unfortunate that it was killed by a judge. I prefer to see terrible initiatives like this killed by the resounding voice of the people — and this most certainly would have been killed without reaching the ballot.

It takes balls to misrepresent a survey while linking to the survey AND claiming that someone else is misrepresentating the same survey. My hat is off to you, Ms. Merlen. You are the ballsiest misrepresenter of data I know.

In the Original Series, the Enterprise went above Warp 10 more than once. (I think the fastest they ever went was Warp 14, in “Whom Gods Destroy.” But that’s off the top of my head.) This was because the Original Series followed the time-honored “what number sounds coolest?” method for writing warp speeds.

Also Minnesotan. Is this unique to us? I kind of thought most progressives, everywhere, are soccer moms deep down.

Yup. This kind of thinking is why the Republicans keep nominating people who can’t win the popular vote — their whole organizing mechanism ensures that whoever seems to be “next on deck” gets the nomination with only token resistance. Their last actual insurgent nominee was Reagan in ‘76. Since then, it’s been Reagan,…

Just a few points, since I think we’re on similar pages in principle:
