The Planet Money podcast just did an episode in which they tracked down one of the guys who writes those fake news stories, including the one about the supposed Clinton email investigator’s suicide.

I want to see the Greens do some data mining and identify the most Green-friendly county in America. Then take all the money they would spend on the next presidential election and spend it there on local and county races.

Conservatives are really bad at protesting. I remember when there was anti-gay group planning a nationwide protest of Target for their non-discriminatory stance on bathrooms. Lot of prep leading up to it.

Until today I thought Drumpf was astoundingly stupid. And not that he isn’t, but he knows how to play the game. No one is talking about his appointments or Trump U settlement now. His Hamilton tweet was such a stunning line and he must have known it would cause uproar.

First it was Skittles, now it’s Tic Tacs having their good name sullied by this goddamn moldy circus peanut.

I absolutely hate to be that guy, but since two people have said Bowie already -- it’s a traditional folk song that’s been around since the 19th century. Leadbelly was the first person to make it famous, I think, but there were probably other versions before that too.

Don’t cry. Minorities will save white people from themselves.

Great, so instead of anything concrete, we will once again be treated to one con artist talking with another con artist for our “benefit”.

You know, 14mm lenses aren’t good for people portraits.
