Of course Bernie Sanders can keep his ideological purity in his safe Senate seat, while the down ballot candidates this fundraiser is for get pasted by the gun industry, the Koch Brothers etc.

Lebatard wrote a pretty decent article on how to view the game in Cuba, but a glaring problem was his lamenting the “loss” of freedoms in Cuba after the revolution.

Lord...

We fucked Cuba up by supporting Batista. Hell, Castro came to us for help first, just like Ho Chi Minh did. But no, we said fuck you to both of them because corruption pays much better than morality. Vietnam couldn’t have worked out worse for us and better for Ho. Cuba going commie didn’t cost us much except for the…

PLEASE. Stop comparing incomes by simply exchanging currencies, its a convenient story but useless since things don’t cost the same from country to country.

I can’t stand Obama, but isn’t part what he is trying to do by normalizing relations supposed to help with all that? You got to start somewhere and he certainly didn't start the embargo.

Poverty is not directly comparable based on income alone. You need to indicate cost of living. If the costs for bseic needs like housing, helath care, and food are comparably low they may not be considered any more impoverished.

you DO realize that American foreign policy is NEVER about “freedom” and “democracy”, but ALWAYS about American interest. Right?

I think he is very average looking. Go to any posher end pub when there is a Rugby union match on and you see many people like this dude. In their Jack Wills shirts and brightly coloured trousers.

Sounds like y’all are saying that Drake’s got enemies, got a lot of enemies. That he’s got a lot of people trying to drain him of his energy.

The good news is LaRoche and his son can now spend the rest of the school year touring with the Trump campaign.

cornrows are a very specific type of braid, tight to the scalp. but braiding in all it’s various forms is pretty universal... europeans have always braided their hair as well.

Hil seems desperate to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It’s funny, most of Bernie’s ideas are right in line with mine, but his style of governance and management is what keeps me from wanting him. His ideology is sound, but it’s also immovable and primary in his methods, which is not a good way to govern this country. The point Hillary just made about the 2007 immigration…

I think a large part of why R. Kelly’s career wasn’t affected to the same magnitude as Cosby’s is the fact that his victims were black girls. Very few people care about the victimization of black women and girls. Some of Cosby’s first accusers were black, and no one cared back then. Reactions to these rapes are…

We didn't expect Stephen Collins to be pious? Really? I only knew of him from 7th Heaven, I assumed he was a fundie.

Please. I’m so sick of Woody Allen getting a pass. So this http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2014/02/w… is ok because we didn’t “expect” him to be perfect?
And from his daughter (because despite his assertions, Dylan thought of Woody as her father)http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/an-…
We let Woody Allen stay…

Expecting someone to be “pious and perfect” and expecting them not to RAPE CHILDREN is pretty different.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
