“Hey kids: Dab the Vote!”

But.... but Deadspin and Splinter told me voting wasn’t cool and they’re always right.

I don’t really get this mocking tone. And it’s not like they they are replacing “rocking the vote” with “dubstepping the vote” or whatever the hell kids are into these days — bringing a plus one just seems like a clever new idea.

Good points all. Thanks for articulating so well my own feelings about this less than perfect episode.

I am actually dreading it :(

I know it wasn’t your intention, but you really made me miss this show.

“Aberforth” - twice four paragraphs from the bottom.
Feels a bit off to Harry Potter-ise the tragedy.

An honest mistake, I’m sure, but please correct.

There is definitely a charisma hole in the casting of Ben Daniels as Tony Armstrong-Jones. That guy was strikingly handsome, a superb photographer, well spoken and as a “team”, he and Margaret really turned eyes.

People don’t understand what the ACA cost Obama and the Democrats. They had 59 seats (with the Independents) in the Senate and a 79 seat majority in the house.
