I’ve heard this constitutional-amendment discussion before, but I think we’ve honestly hit bottom with Democratic state government. There really aren’t other blue states that would flip to the GOP at this point.

Good for you, Barry. You sure showed that powerful conservative Jon Chait. Stand up for your rights!

Apparently you haven’t met many yinzers.

$1500 would be a good deal here in Chicago.

Every one of these posts makes me want to write, “Boy, you sure showed them, didn’t you.”

I’m with you on the end goal: we should all be allowed to be “just a guy”, going to work and feeding our families while living and letting live for everyone else feeding his or her family.

I don’t know how you got that from my comment, but clearly America will die long before the Earth itself because all citizens will have been incinerated by the sun. I mean, duh.

Seconded. Tripled. Whatever, I agree.

They can party with the Long Island doctors I know who just couldn’t stand Hillary being Hillary.

This critique of trolling behavior is, in itself, trolling behavior.

Way too many obvious fakes this year! The doll-guy murder house and the ghost-fighting cat had some solid narrative skills, but didn’t even feel slightly real. Antique dolls are even more cliche “evil” than clowns.
