I don't know. What happens when he attacks her on stage about Monica, Whitewater, Benghazi. etc.? A calm, reasoned defense has never defeated Trump in a debate. If Hillary ignores the ad hominem attacks, she will look weak. If she responds in kind, she will look bad. Several candidates have grossly underestimated…

You think? If 9-11 happened you don't think the Iraq War would've happened? I seem to recall strong bipartisan support for that war, including support by Hillary. I'm not sure how different Gore would've been than Bush.

Unbelievable how well matched Trump is against Hillary. Every attack she's had on Trump has backfired (so far). Bringing up Trump's misogyny only opens the door for Hillary looking the other way on Bill. He won't release his taxes, but she gives secret speeches to Goldman Sachs. Trump is anti-NAFTA, she's pro-"free"…

Colbert alienated the broadest swathe of viewers with his political commentary and boring business/"thought" leaders. On The Report, these were hilarious because they were always contrasted with his bombastic, right-wing persona. I loved TCR and have been rooting for the Late Show's success. But it's so boring to…

Google is certainly a proxy for center-left Democratic America. Well educated, coastal, and wealthy. This has become the bedrock of the Democratic Party. This group is why our "leftist" party is hugely pro-"free trade" pro-globalization. They are why Clinton says people who make 250,000 a year are "middle class." …

Joshua Jackson.

I don't know. I think Lloyd Kaufmann has been scraping the bottom of the human psyche to make small bucks from stupid teens. He's more of a pornographer than an artist.

Straight romance is the sine-qua-non of the family unit, the propagation of the species, the basic building block of society, etc., and has been for thousands of years. Depicting straight romance as the "default" isn't problematic. It's just the way it is (~90% of the time or more). I don't have a problem with…

Enough with your "reading the plain language" and "separation of powers". Can't the judges just rewrite statutes sua sponte?

Reasonable. Thanks.

No, why would you have to wear a…wait a minute! Casual can mean "informal" AND "blithe". Almost got that past me.

Had to Google him. He must have been an uncool Christian too.

Thank you! I upbraided the lady at the Chinese restaurant for her offensive depiction of Buddha. He was Indian, not Chinese!! So racist!

I didn't get your comment, but upvoted because my kids love Swiper.

Lol! I am not talking about limiting free speech. All I am talking about is respect and civility. If you recoil from insulting Muslims or Buddhists (or anyone, really), all I ask is you exercise the same restraint towards Christianity. I know *trigger warning—Jesus joke* is so lame.

I'm not talking about racism or religious persecution, which is wrong. I would love to talk about that. Trump and his supporters are wrong.

Not exactly a joke about Mohammed, The Prophet!

Lol. I don't know very much—FLAT EARTH, Geocentrism, etc.—but I would venture that an a priori presupposition has something to do with logical/self-evident facts. Like 2+2=4. Not like the existence of historical facts. But I don't know anything. I haven't even read The God Delusion.

At the risk of making a big FAIL—-First, I would say "criticism" is not the same as "derision." Second, I would say most criticism towards Islam relates to interpretation/enforcement by believers (as opposed to mocking Allah or Mohammed). Third, I would say comparing the jokes made at the expense of Mohammed versus…

Lol. Poseidon is totes the same as Jesus Christ, or Buddha, or Mohammed. All of whom existed in recorded history, except Poseidon. Lulz. Stupid Christians getting PWNED on this thread!
