Her refusing to really confront the fact that her running mate repeatedly referred to President Obama as an “Uncle Tom” was pretty telling as well. She danced around it - badly - when the Washington Post editorial board really tried to pin her down.

It’s hard not to picture young Donald as an Edmund-type figure, but with nobody to help him redeem himself.

If you’re outsmarted by Ryan Lochte, you’re likely at a disadvantage when dealing with a potted plant.

This is the same kind of guy who ends up screaming at a supermarket employee because he or she politely tells him that the express line isn’t for someone with forty items.

On some level, this book is about all of New Jersey, not just some of it. There could be a weekly Big Time Small-Time Dicks feature about New…

Same here. But we also had Sanalac instant powdered milk. My dad was retired from the Air Force, and would pick up certain items monthly at the Commissary at Hanscom AFB. It was cheaper.

There are regulations, but depending on the National Park, not always a lot of safety features. After all, there’s a limit to how much you can secure nature - it’s not like they can really build railings along the entire Canyon, or even along trails.

National Forests insulate visitors even less.

I was halfway expecting to see an email from the Times Square Anti-Semitic Elmo.

She’s clearly run out of obvious ways to maintain her relevance, so she’s decided that an ever-escalating litany of terrible pronouncements is the way to go. It’s only a matter of time before she takes hostages in an attempt to stay in the spotlight.

Yup, and I have that same issue (as I noted elsewhere) with Gen Xers who only remember the 80s and not the 70s. VERY different childhood experiences.

My favorite - optically - were the folks wearing what were supposed to be (apparently) Robin Hood caps. My first reaction when I saw them on TV was to turn to my wife and say “Oh, look. Peter Pan caps. Guess they’re refusing to grow up.”

Archibald Cox, Jr. had a son (b 1940) named Archibald, Jr. This could be that Archibald, Jr. There is also an Archibald Cox III, which I only know because he was in my class in college. Didn’t really know him, though. Apparently works as a horse trainer, not a lawyer.

Colbert could probably do it, but I doubt he would.

Ashley Bell, a former Democratic official hired recently to head the RNC outreach to African-Americans said “We are doubling down on the African-American vote”. Based on how that’s gone so far, I expect their support to be halved at 0.75% within weeks.

I believe that the IOC and FIFA are generally neck-and-neck in that race.

And let’s not forget that the estimate for lifelong care of a child born with microcephaly is more than $10 million.

It’s more than not landing on the decent opinion, they manage to stick the landing on the awful position EVERY TIME. This is Olympic-calibar Gymnastic Asshattery.

I’d argue that any single person involved in the efforts I mentioned has done more.

Republican State legislators and governors around the country passing and signing burdensome voter ID laws?
