There ain't no bad blood like Mormon bad blood.

Not actively. His daydreams were unconstitutional as fuck, but they were more along the lines that eventually the American people would realize he was such a glittering genius that they would clamor to put him into (unelected) power.

That is a spectacularly shitty piece of luck.

It is so amazing that this is in its 7th season. A. That such a weird, underappreciated show is still being aired and B. it is still going so strong.

My brother deleted his facebook. He now shares invites over google drive. It is inelegant.

I think the typeface is fine but I find the amount of leading between lines to be overwhelming. I really would like to know why designers think that a more open font (such as non-serif like this one) likewise requires such obscene leading.

That narrative only works for the British up until 1400 or so. The Renaissance and Reformation led to a wholesale plunder of Greek and Latin. Then there were the Americans who started taking words from the Native Americans, Spanish, French and West Africa. Then the Brits went abroad and turned Asia upside down looking…

Absolutely. I think 2012 is important because that's when the different visions definitely went their own ways, and which resulted in this election.

That conversation gets a lot easier when you drop the condescension.

Yep. There were pundits who were saying after Obama won re-election that it might signal the end of the GOP. While in reality the GOP devoted itself to actual grassroots politics.

Considering Priebus is now working in the White House, the field was always tilted away from all the others who ran. Maybe if Kasich and Cruz had figured this out earlier they might've given Trump more shit, but really now we're seeing that the GOP used the whole process as an audition for Trump's cabinet.

And just as the word fascist has become utterly defanged, so the word "socialist" has—thanks to the anti-Obamas—become meaningless.

When a glass is chilled does that have the same bubble destroying effect? Because every time I have a beer from a chilled glass it never tastes as good. I'm not sure if it's related to this or the condensation diluting the drink or some combination thereof.

Congrats! My job related first was getting my first ever promotion. I also got two raises. I'm all of a buck fifty over the Oregon minimum wage, but I'll take it.

Not really. I mean he didn't really have time, firstly because two years is nothing in Washington and he spent the first year on the bailout. He got ACA passed but everyone involved knew it was suicide so there was a lot of wrangling for far more expansive plans versus more limited plans.

You know what they say about the middle: it's squishy.

So true. I'm generally mystified by the comments here that assume that since that Portland is largely white that these are all trust-fundies and kids with nothing better to do. Friends who've been near the crowds say it's diverse in both age and race. It's almost as if Portland isn't Portlandia.

and hello Henry Kissinger. You don't get to the various mopes of Reagan and the Bushes without him. Nixon looks good because he was actually a rather weak president, especially compared to LBJ.

He's perfectly within his rights not to vote. In fact, it might be more consistent for him not to vote than to vote, especially if you look at it from a classically anarchist perspective. Why would someone protesting state control want to participate in a state function?

Don't.
