So, I guess the country has decided to just stop accepting reality? We’re just going to walk hand-in-hand into a world where facts, laws, and legal precedent no longer have any bearing on new legislation. This is our world.

Oh, duh, forgot about that. Right you are.

One doesn’t need to be born on American soil to qualify. “Rafael “Ted” Cruz was born in Canada. All that’s required is that you’re an American citizen by birth, and at least 35 years old as of election day.

It’s hard to tell in print, but it’s intended to be tongue-in-cheek these days.

Per my local news this afternoon (out of Milwaukee), Walker’s sons each drew a $1500 per month salary from the campaign. Walker has not offered an explanation for this. Check it out.

That’s exactly the scene I was thinking of. Diane’s response, “I don’t know,” is such a poignant take on the human (horse?) condition. That lack of closure is some of the most raw, real writing out there.

I was genuinely hoping Chafee would bring that up in the debate. It really bothers me that we’re stuck with this outmoded system of random, arbitrary measurements. Metric is so much cleaner and easier to use.

That’s some bullshit, Wolf. I’ve got no problem with giving the guy a couple jabs, but what the hell? He comes across like a decent guy who genuinely cares about peace and a better future. He’s not going to be President, but he’s still better than the whole Republican field put together.

Love that show. I’m already itching for season 3. They’ve really impressed me with how heartfelt and tragic they get, especially with a cast composed largely of colorful anthropomorphized animals.

No no no, alcohol is the good one. It’s mari-huana that turns kids into axe murderers.

Aww, OK.

Hell, a lot of places have PA-connected land lines out on the sale floor. Anybody could pick one up and hold their phone up to the handset.

Not to mention the fact that heat (such as from ACC) doesn’t cause sunburns. Sunburns are caused by ultraviolet light, whereas the greenhouse effect is caused be captured and re-emitted infrared light. They’re not even remotely the same thing. The petty little snipes don’t even make sense.

In an effort to not be the cynical pessimist I so often am, I agree with you. I hope this act will inspire others to do similar (though hopefully less self-congratulatory) things in the future.

And then replace Darrell Hammond with Norm McDonald?

Biden aside, I think we should take a moment to thank Conan O’Brian, Aimee Mann, and Ted Leo for getting Lincoln Chafee to 1% (The minimum CNN required to get on the stage).

Failed. Failed bioweapon. As in, not strictly lethal. So it’s OK to eat ‘em.
