I loved the RNC's positioning of Scott Baio as someone to appeal to the youth vote. Hell, Scott Walker is younger.

Watching this it just dawned on me “can you image grandpa blaming FDR or IKE for being attacked during the Battle Of The Bulge?”

How is that not the last thing you check before you go on stage at a massive televised event? I always have the same list of checks before something important: 1. Nothing in nose 2. Nothing in teeth 3. Boobs not escaping from shirt 4. Fly is up/skirt isn’t tucked into underwear.

“People who know me well know I’m a pretty basic guy. I’m a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.”

Forreal. I think with this decision, Trump has absolutely killed his chances of having really...well, any women vote for him. His voting base is only going to get whiter and maler than it already was. Between this and the RNC platform being excessively homophobic, transphobic, and anti-sex, the Trump-Pence vote will…

Pence had to bow out of the gov race to become the VP candidate.

He’s definitely Trump level awful. We thought we had it bad when Mitch Daniels was governor here, but he was a dream compared to Pence, who’s pretty much universally despised, except for small pockets of super intensely evangelical anti-choicers, who he caters to pretty much exclusively. And now Mitch Daniels wants to…

So you’re saying he’s the perfect VP for Trump. Trump was too focused on racism.. need some more religous woman hating crazy in there.

Also, in 2000 (nearly a half a century after a landmark study established the link between cigarettes and lung cancer), he wrote: “Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.” He has repeatedly slashed smoking cessation programs and takes money…

When I lived in Indianapolis I felt compelled to write to his office several times because of how outrageously, egregiously awful his legislation was (is). I think I wrote to him like 5 times and I only lived there for a year. On the plus side, he won’t be running for re-election and gave Dems a nice opening for…

This is the guy who wanted to force women to have burials for their miscarriages. That is the only sentence about him anyone should need to hear.

I have exactly one uppity Christian mom on my Facebook feed (my kid was friends with her kid, I was unaware of the zealotry) and I cannot bring myself to flush her. Her Facebook page is like a circus train derailment, it’s so comically that I can’t look away. I am weak.

I don’t think he’s their buddy, guy.

Great question and remarkably poor insight on the part of PSU. If I had to guess, I would say they have been so powerful in their small town in rural PA and gotten away with so much for so long, they just can’t fathom how they can lose.

Taking about the $14 million the wife already received.

Boy oh boy.

Doesn’t seem like just “dying in prison” is enough punishment for Sandusky, nor is “rotting in a hole” sufficient punishment for Paterno.

I’ve thought about this and realized that it can be both. I believe he thinks his daughter is an exceptional woman (and not just the whole “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d...” bit of effluvia). I believe he encouraged her. Because she’s his. And that alone makes her exceptional by virtue of those yugely great genes. But…

Those things can’t be measured as objectively as you believe. My high school didn’t offer a single AP class and the district had a policy that prevented anyone from having over a 4.0. There would be no way for any of us to compete with the people doing extra AP classes during the summer to get those 4.9 gpas. The test…

I don’t think it was the tutoring she was ashamed of, it was that she basically wrote their essays for them.
