YES! I’ve been saying this all primary season. If we spent the decades Republicans did building a base, electing liberal candidates from the ground up, turning states, we could have a Bernie presidency. But we didn’t. A Bernie presidency would likely get nothing done, then progressives would turn on him exactly the…

Yeah, I started out thinking Bernie has some good ideas but that he makes a better legislator than he would an executive. Then his supporters became a cult and I’m sick of it. I don’t trust anyone who sells you heroes and villains and that taking out the bad guys will solve all our problems.

The way to grow a party is to organize and win shit. If third party could start by winning cities, then states, building infastructure along the way, there could be viable third parties in this country. Most people who want to run for office would rather throw their lot in with a larger party because they have a…

Yeah, the Founders did believe that political parties were and evil corrupting influence on politics during the Revolution. They wrote the Constitution thinking the politicians would be more interested in representing their state rather than political ideology (which is why we have such weird laws about state power),…

I traveled internationally on a passport with my correct name and photo for like 5 years before I could change it for the most part it wasn’t that big a deal but it was always an extra level of stress. I could play it off pretty well and never had a serious problem but I always had to be ready to play it off and I…

People don’t know how big this change is. I travel internationally often and sometimes to the Middle East. Let me tell you how terrifying it is going through UAE customs with an “M” on your passport. It’s not.

It’s true. I’m so tempted to refute bullshit Sanders memes I see posted on Facebook (the media is not lying 200+ delegates is not close, not at all) but I don’t want to get into a multi-day flame war with my friends. Instead, I went and voted (she won my state) and when the time comes I’ll probably volunteer for her…

No shit. Most of them have never voted in a primary before. You can tell this because they keep bringing primary rules that have been in place for forty years (closed primaries, early calls on races that aren’t close, coin flips, Superdelegates, etc) as proof that an evil DNC cabal is engaged in a vast conspiracy to…

To be fair, it’s not that scary to fall when you’re only 2 feet tall and weigh 30lbs (I say this as an acrobat who is much more afraid of falling than I was when I was 2 feet tall).

There are only four states on the continental US that I haven’t been to. South Dakota will continue to be one of them.

As much as I enjoy that that is true, I’m sad that it says more about the run game than it does about Tom Brady’s rushing abilities. Imagine if he put up like a hundred yards with his slow-motion Chariots of Fire running style. It would be the end of his career because who knows if he could take that many hits, but it…

Well, I guess you showed little old me. I’ll sure think twice about writing flip, single-sentence comments on a sports gossip site. I thank you for your insightful rebuke. You are a true American hero and a patriot.

Okay, I was responding to your sarcasm with sarcasm because it seemed a little condescending. I agree with pretty much everything you said. I was being a little flip in my first comment because it’s rare to see Brady run and you almost never see him end up being the leading rusher. Whereas with Cam, if you cover all…

I like the Pats but I don’t mind that they aren’t going to the Super Bowl. They’ve gone six times in the last 15 years. Other teams haven’t been in decades. However, I find watching Peyton Manning very uncomfortable. Like as a human being. It’s one thing to watch guys in their prime risk their bodies, but Peyton’s…

Thanks, yesterday was my first time watching a football game. Now I see that I was out of my depth with my comment.

It’s adorable and I love it every time. As soon as he crosses the line of scrimmage he looks like he doesn’t even know where he is anymore and he’s just running for his life. It’s like the kids in The Sandlot running after their baseball in the scary old man’s backyard; they think they are just going to be dead at any…

If Brady can run on them for 13 yards, imagine what Cam will do.

TruFact. I was not that interested in the Pats going to the Super Bowl twice in a row because after you win one, there’s not really anything to fight for. The best outcome you can get is to just do the same thing you did last year or lose the Super Bowl. After watching the first few games, though, I thought they were…

I totally lost it during Inside Out. I did not expect that movie to be straight up amazing. Up was also an incredible film. I mean, neither were scary, but they were both more real on a human level than a lot of what we had in the 80's.

I don’t know if I got lucky or if you got unlucky but I was pretty pleased the with the experience. I like JetBlue, although I don’t know if they do coast-to-coast. I’m flying Virgin Australia back, all I’m hoping is that it’s better than the Air Canada Rouge flight I took this summer. That was the worst international…
