Successful third-party campaigns tend to be driven by personality rather than issues, and it's much harder to build a party on top of a person instead of ideas, especially if that person isn't interested in investing in the necessary infrastructure. Ross Perot didn't found the Reform Party until long after the…

Fox News and CNN were playing side-by-side on the TVs at my gym tonight, but I wasn't listening to the audio of either channel. I noticed that Fox News was giving their talking heads airtime instead of following the convention, but I was flabbergasted by how deep Mr. Khan's speech cut when I got home.

The Venn diagram of "Jill Stein voters" and "people who get their news from Vice" resembles a fucking eclipse.

I am so eagerly awaiting the point in this campaign where Trump can't help himself from calling Hillary an awful bitch like all the fans at his rallies do, and she responds by making this song her walk-out music.

Big Thief opened for Wye Oak at the show I attended in June, and I thought they had a very serious sound, and I needed to keep my eye out for them.

We've seen the political battle lines being re-drawn this week before our very eyes. It's amazing to read the essays and social media reactions of the conservative intelligentsia (the ones in existential crisis over Trump) realizing that they're being soundly beaten at their own game, and that the Reagan era of…

The last three days have made me feel better about the future of the country than anything that's happened in the last year and a half.

There was a Vox article the other day that suggested to appease Trump by crowning him King of America.

I don't give Edam if she won the Oscar; throwing out non-cheese puns at this point means you're late to Havarti.

"Who Wants to Sex Mutombo?"

What I've heard so many times today:"But, Obama used Deval Patrick's words in a speech once. Gotcha, libtards!"

I've pretty much stopped listening to any political or current-events podcast outside of the Rachel Maddow audio feed, which I'll play as I'm getting ready for work in the morning. I rarely even listen to "This American Life" these days, it's become such a bummer.

Good Charlotte has to rank below Simple Plan due to the latter's steeper degree of difficulty. Making shitty pop-punk songs is harder when English isn't your first language.

Fuck you.

As I am known to mention: half of Good Charlotte's songs are about how awful rich girls are, yet the band's two permanent members are married to Cameron Diaz and Nicole Richie.

"Oh, look, it's Steve the Pirate."

Did the world decide that "Wedding Crashers" was garbage, and I just didn't get the memo?
