You’re welcome.

Cool story, bro.

A couple years ago, even the most constructive and nuanced criticism of Hillary Clinton was denounced as the worst kind of sexism by her dead-end supporters and yet bros can attack Nancy Pelosi at the literal start of the game FOR DOING A STRATEGIC THING THAT MIGHT WORK and no one bats an eye.

Representative Robert Drinan drafted the first articles of impeachment against Nixon. The charge was the bombing of Cambodia.

Tell you what, drop the dime on me as the whistleblower. I’ll play along until we get paid and we can split the $50K.

Oh, that was easy. After class he wandered over to the Jewish frat and offered one of their members some of Fred’s money to write the papers for him. Unethical and racist, a perfect Trump move. 

Devin Nunes believes the Democrats are hunting for nude pictures of Donald Trump and he’s worried they won’t share them. 

My favorite are the straw partisans that claim they’re doing it for the disabled community. During a Facebook conversation on the topic someone who does actual PT work with disabled person chimed in that the ADA and other rules will ensure straw bans have exceptions for the legitimate needs of disabled people.

It’s like in the Godfather when Vito Corelone returns from the hospital and his grandchildren give him homemade get-well cards. Except those kids were like 6 and Vito was good at his job, faithful to his wife, and operating with no illusions about who he was or what he does.

Oprah not running for president is the best thing Oprah has ever done in my opinion.

Is a 6th place in the Iowa Caucus even possible, as a practical matter? According to caucus rules, if a candidate doesn’t have 15% of the vote in an initial caucus process, they’re deemed not-viable and dropped from the process before the second round of caucusing.

Werther’s is some straight up coastal elite old people candy. In the rust belt, where men carry their lunch in a pail, old people have pepper mint candy. Usually stolen from an Applebee’s hostess stand. 

Go get fucked.

Not that I’m trying to fear-monger, but I don’t entirely trust this government to keep everyone’s information safe, all things considered.

The Paterno/McQueary conversation as it plays out in the fevered imaginations of Gladwell, Jenkins, et al:

It’s worth remembering that FDR was regularly attacked from the left by purists like Francis Townsend and Upton Sinclair because the New Deal was too timid and Pete Seeger because Lend-Lease was insufficiently deferential to Stalin’s non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany.

I don’t need to figure it out. Literally 22 academic studies have been on the ground, done the research, and came away with the exact same conclusion: the smoking bans have not negatively impacted the restaurant business.
