I did not claim she did not say it. But it was years ago and she has since apologized. It would be different if she was saying homophobic stuff NOW, but she’s not. There was not any reason to go digging except to try to destroy her career.

Hey! I am doing just fine. My life has been through CHANGES in the last couple of years, so I have not been around much. Trying to get used to all of the changes here on Gawker/Kinja/Univision/whatever too.

Joy Reid’s attitude toward Bernie is the same as mine and a lot of liberals: “He’s alright, but he ain’t all that.” Joy has criticized and reality-checked Bernie and his policies but hasn’t gone out of her way to be particularly anti-Bernie. Still, that is a bridge too far for his fans. It is ridiculous to people like…

I didn’t suggest international intrigue; I very much believe it was because the sleuth was upset he didn’t bring her down the first time. These are just Bernie stans upset because Joy doesn’t genuflect before the holy image of Bernie.

The fact that the “Internet sleuth” suddenly found posts that were WORSE than those originally found last year is enough to cast suspicion on this allegation. Coupled with the fact that the “new” posts didn’t have any comments when the other posts had copious, I am going to call SHENANIGANS on Mr. Sleuth. Joy Reid is…

I don’t care what anyone says, I love Philippe Reines. He is one of very few bare-knuckled brawlers Democrats have. He does not give a fuck. The media decided before Hillary even announced her candidacy that they were going to go negative on her because they thought she would have no competition, and they didn’t let…

MOST Stephen King adaptations are bad to middling. There are several good to almost great movies like It, Carrie, Salem’s Lot, The Dead Zone, The Shining, The Green Mile, Misery, The Running Man, Shawshank Redemption, Stand by Me, and (maybe) 1408, but the rest are meh at best. It’s not Stephen King’s fault, but…

That’s the magic of building in density. The developer has to make enough profit to make those upgrades worthwhile. The city/state also need to step up to the plate to upgrade infrastructure so it is not solely on developers. At this point, it’s a public health emergency, and they need to act like it.

Article after article asks what Democrats need to learn about the last election, each seemingly coming to the conclusion— without evidence— that becoming more Bernie-like is the way to go. No one seems to ask, though, why did BERNIE lose? What should he have done differently to make himself or his ideas more palatable…

As someone said, Republicans find one thing to like about their candidate and come out in droves. Democrats find one thing to dislike about their candidate and stay home. This is why we lose.

In December 2015, I got a job in Oakland making the most I’d made in my life. I could NOT find an affordable place to live. Open houses at somewhat decent places in not-so-great neighborhoods had lines of 20-30 people waiting to turn in applications. Anyone with a less-than-stellar credit report basically had to…

What “fires people up” is often fear and anger, and that fear and anger is often misplaced. Constantly telling people, “the system is rigged against you” might be effective at getting attention & certain people to come out, but “the system” and “rigged” mean different things to different people. I mean, Obama was the…

But who on the left disagrees with any of the goals of the left? We’re pretty united at least on goals/principles.

It could also be a run-of-the-mill scam. I remember the RNC got into a lot of hot water over a similar scheme, so I have a tough time believing the DNC would pull the same shit. I guess they potentially could have hired the same firm to do these mailers but that seems dumb.

I attended UVA from 90 to 97 (double Hoo) during the time of peak black matriculation. It was pretty great. The early 1990s were very Afro-centric generally— imagine being in college when Malcolm X came out. One of the selling points for incoming black students was that you could have a distinctly black experience at…

Wow, a sensible essay about Hillary Clinton by Alex Pareene. Wonders will never cease.

Wait— “they aren’t kids”. She’s not talking about kids, dude.

The alternative to prisoners working at the governor’s mansion was prisoners working at the prison. This is the silliest shit to get upset about.

The normalization of the truly abnormal Trump administration continues.

*tears*
