One wonders if employers would be better just paying their workers better and treating them better instead of fighting. How much more money do they spend on lawyers and union-busting campaigns?

Surprisingly, only 3 out of 10 Americans said they believe in Canadians.

Jill Stein (and her voters) in a nutshell:

Isn’t Danerys Jon’s auntie?

Man, I can’t wait for the intense Lovecraftian horror of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Never understood why people are so scared of ouija boards. Without one I wouldn’t be able to tell the ten year old boy I’m haunting what I want him to type on the internet.
