My Mom died of colon cancer - well, that and the absolutely brutal chemo that was necessary to treat it.

I think we need a breakdown as to how many of these came from Michael Harriot. He has some of the best alternate-names.

I know there are far more significant events to be excited about this morning, but damn, this is awesome.

I woke up still giddy. He really was the only logical choice, but when does logic and the electorate go together?

I want to point out that in St. Paul, we had a ranked vote with 10 candidates. While it was expected that we would have to go through several rankings over several days - there was a lot of buzz between Carter and two other candidates - he won outright with nearly 51% of the vote in the first round. It was an…

St Paul has elected a black mayor!

Okay, I’ve never had a McFlurry. (Those whipped-cream topped shakes, yes - that’s my calorific McDonald’s deliciousness. I’m a sucker for shakes.) Are they that good?

Just like when white people use public entitlement programs its because they need “assistance”

Not to take away from the rest of this article, but I’m confused. Is “Super Tuesday” the way we’re referring to Election Day now? I always thought that it was the day when the most states held Presidential primaries.

Back in February, this piece for WaPo really pissed me off.

I think it’s quite clear from the above how I feel about the American electorate. So I share that fear.

During the 2014 mid-terms, I saw a diatribe from a self-identifying millennial/young twenty-something talking about how they weren’t going to vote. Oh, they were politically involved...something they defined as keeping up with campaign issues on social media. No rally attendance, no campaign volunteering, no…
