I would have to agree. During my last trip up a few weeks ago, I hiked halfway up a mountain to the muskeg pictured below. Then I canoed out to an island and watched a mother and baby humpback diving offshore while standing on a massive, fossilized coral reef in the pouring rain. The next day, I canoed across a…
I know you have already declared your intentions to ignore anyone who disagrees with you, but do you honestly believe that everyone who will not be voting for Clinton will be doing so due to sexism? That is like saying that anyone who didn’t/doesn’t vote for Sanders is an anti-semite.
As someone who has been choked to the point of blacking out in the past, it feels even longer once your adrenaline kicks in and you begin unsuccessfully scrabbling for your life. That particular experience was not isolated, but it is one of my sharpest memories and the driving force behind my philosophy to do no harm…
This is very much an issue with the left, and one I have tried to correct in myself as much as possible. Anecdotally, the young men I know are the ones struggling most in this economy, whereas most of the young women are out there kicking ass and taking names. That these men were brought into the world right when…
I recently learned that two of my male in-laws, who are both self-avowed feminists, really like going through topless espresso stands. I do what I can to take everything in stride and without judgment, but sometimes men are truly disappointing creatures.
The average voter is a disappointment, which funnily enough makes one of my few areas of sincere respect for Clinton one of her biggest weaknesses. I have no doubt that she could argue me under the table on wonky policy right off the top of her head, but there is a reason the networks ignored her union speech in favor…
Yes, the reason I doubt my strategy would ever come to pass is that it would require Clinton taking responsibility for her past actions and shedding her own natural tendency to hide and cover up even the most harmless wrongdoing. Nothing I have seen from her shows me she is capable of that, but I would respect her…
I have never found any work I enjoy so much as collecting and organizing information, so writing for me is an ideal career. But I have the luxury of preferring non-fiction to fiction while also having a talent for graphic design, which probably changes my prospects considerably. You were wise to keep the creative…
With all due respect to the writers here, anyone who attempts to turn it into a brick and mortar career is, ah, perhaps not making an optimal life choice. I have only made it work by selling a technical product directly rather than creating one for an employer, and I would switch industries if I ever needed to seek a…
I know it is fun to be offended by things, but a president is not able to avoid the press, and Clinton is auditioning for the role. If the media is not biting at what she is offering and that is seen as a problem for her, it is not insane to suggest she actually talk to journalists unscripted more than once every six…
Honestly, I think the ‘personality’ route is the worst option for her. It just gives snotty assholes such as myself the option to accuse her of pandering or being artificial, when her clear strength lies in her ability to recall obscure policy details on a moment’s notice.
I agree. As distasteful as it is, Trump has made this campaign one of personality over issues, and Clinton does not have a forceful enough platform to drag things back to saner waters. She needs to survive this possible indictment and then ignore her instinct to double down on secrecy and her own spin. If I were her,…
When both candidates have a major favorability issue, the one lighting dumpster fires is the one that will still draw eyeballs. Cable news had to choose between people seeing Clinton discussing unions and clicking away immediately or sticking around to see what garbage fell out of Trump this time. That has been…
And yet, by my count, it has been 178 days since Clinton held a press conference, whereas both Trump and Sanders have one scheduled for today. Perhaps she should try speaking to the media if she wants their attention?
I Aku am flying out to Haida land in Alaska for a few days shortly. If you have not experienced living in a very poor, drug-infested and remote area with little support from law enforcement before, you should visit some of these tribal lands to learn a little more about your own country. This stuff happens in America…
At the very least a husband who flew 26 times on a jet with a bed specially installed for orgies with underaged prostitutes, five times without his security detail. There are right wing conspiracy theories, and then there are flight logs showing a man who was disturbingly good friends with a pedophile sex trafficker…
Correct, and there has been no other evidence provided of actual chair throwing. Just some guy picking up a chair, other people stopping him, and then hugs ensue. That is not violence, but it is being used to characterize Sanders supporters as violent.
