They didn’t need to leave an empty seat for Elijah. Rubio’s doesn’t count as occupied, as he’s an empty suit.

I’d agree, but I also think there’s an argument to be made in favor of strategic/defensive voting, and Sarandon is explicitly rejecting that, and actually seems to be adopting the “hey, whatever, if the worst Republican becomes president, the revolution happens sooner!” philosophy. That’s just juvenile.

He’s now my go-to example of the “Uncanny Valley” istead of the creepy Tom Hanks conductor from “Polar Express”.

I have a friend from college who is an ARDENT Sanders supporter. Refers to Hillary Clinton as “$hillary”, the whole thing. It’s sort of weird, seeing a progressive essentially parrot all the stuff that right-wing talk radio has been saying about Hillary Clinton for years.

She flat out can’t understand why various…

I’m on Team Messing here. After all, no matter how bad things get, Susan Sarandon will do just fine, and will never have to truly live with the consequences of the “explosion” she spoke so fondly of.

Sarandon actually seemed to embrace the whole “heightening the contradicitons” worldview during the MSNBC. It arguably…

Well, look at it this way. His delusion allows him to feel like HE’S the one being victimized by the Sandy Hook shooting - since it was “fake” in order for the government to “take his guns”.

There’s an intense need on the part of some pretty unpersecuted people to feel persecuted.

Let’s require drug tests in order to take advantage of certain tax deductions!

When the “superdelegates” put a candidate that didn’t have the most primary votes cast for him/her over the top, wake me. Otherwise, who cares?

The current FiveThirtyEight projection is that Clinton will have about 4 million more primary votes cast for her than Sanders will by the end of the process. If that holds,…

My wife and I both use top sheets - but we hate fighting over the sheets. So we have a queen bed, and we get full-sized top sheets and blankets so we don’t have to share. We usually do a top sheet / cotton blanket / wool blanket arrangement.

Then again, we use flannel sheets year round because we find we don’t stick…

“New York” is a dog-whistle to white, Christian, socially conservative voters in large parts of the county. The listener gets to fill in their own prejudice(s) of choice. It’s the other side of the “Real America” type rhetoric that Palin was so fond of.

As opposed to Jesse Jackson. Who pretty much DID call New York…

Oh, yeah, it would have to be written JUST right.

Shade would have been them explaining what a magazine publisher and a magazine were, as if someone might never have heard of such a thing before. And, as I think about it, would have been pretty damn funny.

Compared to Genghis Khan, Trump won’t have nearly the number of descendants. Almost “loser” territory by comparison. I wonder how we let him know that - it might give him a new bizarre thing to fixate on instead of him being defensive and weird about his hands.

We need a folk song about Fannie Lowenstein, the woman with the rent-controlled Plaza apartment. Because in today’s world, that’s some Paul Bunyan-level tall-tale shit.

Geez, I’d rather have a 10-minute conversation about Mideast policy with Anti-Semetic Elmo than eat at Guy Fieri’s restaurant.

No, it doesn’t register. That infant almost certainly slept through the movie. I’d rather be sitting near an infant at an R-rated movie than kids between 6 and 13.

Most likely his parents swear in front of him, or didn’t worry about what TV was on around the house when he was holder.

As a parent, I wouldn’t have done…

Nah, they’d just blame the “fallen woman” for tempting him as long as he plays the “I asked Jeebus to forgive me" card.

This just made my day.

In my dream universe, someone tricks a candidate into making appearances on Chatroulette.

Yes - I was sold on it from the preview that came out last summer, and my wife and I have been watching it since it started. She was on the “this is odd and the lead character makes me cringe” to “this is great”. My wife is Jewish, and I had to back up and repeat the “JAP Rap Battle” from the most recent episode…
