This explanation was better than the article.

Aight, I read the first hundred replies. It’s hearsay.

His name...

Pfft. Merrick Garland would vote to overturn this ruling about six days after Hell freezes over. His “moderate” record is media hype.

Windows 7 is really the best operating system I’ve ever used. Why iterate any further, Microsoft? Why not just stop there? You won. It’s done. You solved desktop personal computing.

Wasn’t the NYC subway system privately owned until the ‘40s? Which would seem to be the opposite of big government.

(Am I the only one who thinks this sounds kind of great?)

They did pay the price for giving the galaxy the Lost Orb of Phanastacoria — smelted by the Republic, then destroyed by the Peace Moon.

Ya’ll know he’s talking about Molenbeek, right?

He’s lying about New York. No way the Cruz campaign wins New York, in any ‘verse, and he knows that. Connecticut is not impossible in a head-to-head.

*Any* increase in voting access? Should ten-year-olds vote?

The last debate featured a debate between Bush, Rubio, and Christie about rape and incest exceptions.

I know this sounds odd, but W. is still popular in South Carolina. The family has deep connections there. And, as someone said the other day on Twitter, the family traditionally uses S.C. as a kill box for its competition.

J.K. considered the Harry Potter series targeted to adults. But it was marketed (and became crazy successful) as a children’s book.

That’s just uncivilized. I’m sorry to hear it!
