Is your dad Irish? Because my family overcooks the fuck out of everything. I never had non-gray meat until I was, like, 23.

I think I was at this wedding too. Or else this craziness is more common than we realize.

GAHH NO

Too many lame ghosts this year, not enough real-life creeps. Those are the scary ones!

Irish sandwiches always come with butter. Cucumber and butter, ham and butter, cheese and butter — it gets pretty weird.

I don’t think this is out of line with my argument though. Albert implied the system is unbreakable, but it’s been shown to be breakable under the right circumstances. You can say Obama was uniquely great or Bush was uniquely terrible (I think Trump has proved that terribleness wasn’t unique), but they existed and…

What about 2006? That was a congressional election swept by the Democrats. There was no charismatic leader, just disgust over the way the country was being run. I think we’re all a little too guilty of short-termism when it comes to “The Democrats/Republicans are totally dead now”.

Your math was proved wrong in 2008 and 2012. If the right candidate(s) come along, those oppressed groups do face those dangers and vote in numbers enough to make a difference. It’s a separate argument whether Obama proved to be who the electorate wanted him to be, but his voting draw was enough to get over the top.…

Before he went to Afghanistan, he set up a meeting with Noam Chomsky! Unfortunately he got killed before it happened, but that’s not the behavior of some pro-war meathead.

Fuck that, there’s plenty of good shit in today’s world worth saving. Babies? Literature? Polar bears? These would be a shame to lose.

Yinzer here who had the exact same thoughts you did while growing up there.

True story: the DJ failed to show at my brother’s wedding, so my cousin got his bandmate to come play acoustic guitar, so the dude played this. Great wedding tune.

Yinzer emigrant here. Can vouch there is rarely much travel involved.

My friend used to see him at Hannah’s Bretzel on multiple occasions.

The Irish are just as bad! O’Reilly, Hannity, Mulvaney, Toomey — I guess any group can pull up the ladder behind them, no matter how far they have to climb.

+1 time I saw James Carville eating a sandwich in the Orange County airport.

Have to disagree. Trump OWNS the gutter. Look what happened to Rubio or Cruz when they tried to insult him - wrecked like the rest. To beat him, it should have been Hillary talking jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs each and every day in those swing states. Fighting him in the sewer is his element.

Pittsburgh on one end, Philly on the other, Alabama in the middle.

Kind of surprised the Plains States are that low.

This did not go so well when India and Pakistan separated over ideology.
