Congratulations, Orange Menace...you've managed to appoint the single worst possible person for the job of acting AG.  The one not-asinine thing that Sessions did - recusing himself from the Russia probe in his role as AG - is now out the window.

The good news is that Amendment 4 passed in Florida, which restores voting rights to convicted felons (excluding murderers and sex offenders). That gives a voice in government back to almost 18% of the African American population in FL that had been disenfranchised up to this point, largely due to uneven enforcement…

Counterpoint: A small majority in the House may not be a sexy win, but it completely jams up the conservative legislative agenda for at least two years. 

Yeah, it’s completely bipolar. North of the I-4 corridor is basically Alabama’s redneck southern neighbor, and south of the I-4 corridor is the wealthiest Caribbean nation-state.

I think “tracked” in this context is a polite euphemism for “low-speed car chase”.

Dude, if you’re going to risk an extended stay in the state pen, make sure it’s worth it.

Man, I wish UA running shoes weren’t so damn comfortable. Love the product, totally creeped out by the people making them.

On one hand, it’s truly disheartening to see trolls organize to disseminate misinformation on Twitter.

If charges of impropriety by a Supreme Court nominee only warrant a week-long probe with strict limits on the scope of the investigation, I’m pretty sure they’re going to get to the bottom of this by sending out a sternly worded email that the perpetrators should turn themselves in by close of business tomorrow. Which…

Wouldn’t a hip flask of inexpensive vodka have been a better option? At least less likely to make her ill and allow her to save some modicum of dignity...

A clean slate every once in a while is a good thing. That, and more proactive moderation. Having to come up with something witty, insightful and substantive on the fly is a daunting task, though.

A lot of the issue boils down to the sense of urgency you, as a voter, are made to feel in the election. Back when I turned of age to vote back in the early 90s, there wasn’t a sense that the world hung in the balance. Most of the Democratic options I was presented with were generally better than the Republican…

I would so rather be in the front row at a Gallagher show than a Steve King town hall.

Yeah. If you’re gonna be evil, go full supervillain.  It’s hard to take grown men throwing temper tantrums seriously.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. There aren’t the overwhelming obligations, expectations and family drama that come with Christmas and Thanksgiving. The candy is on par with Easter, but the holiday itself is nowhere near as formal and stuffy. There’s way less sweating and bug bites than 4th of July, Memorial…

Fresh Swedish Fish can be wonderful. I love the flavor, and the texture (when fresh) is the perfect balance of chewiness and melt-in-your-mouth. But they don’t age well at all. Stale Swedish Fish will damn near remove fillings.

The marital sex analogy for voting I would use is that it happens infrequently and is usually about as exciting as watching Sunday morning political talk shows. But if you get it for Tuesday night dinner and with occasional fireworks...more power to you.

Though, in fairness - I did recently fire my lawn service because they were literally my only bill I had left that required me to use stamps and paper checks.

And these are 12 of the reasons things have gone off the rails.
