I believe someone seriously suggested something like that ...

What if you eat it, or snort it, or apply it rectally?

I’m surprised no one tried to tack on an amendment banning funding for Planned Parenthood, or banning all Muslims, or something stupid like that.

Imagine an America where the current right wing of the Democratic Party (basically, Hillary and her fans) was the actual right wing of our society. That would be fascinating to see. Do you think things would be just as polarized as what we have now?

I do think if there was a candidate who proclaimed his intent to nuke Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan, he’d have a frighteningly large base of support.

Sneak in some really twisty questions: “Do you think Muslims in America should be encouraged to convert to Christianity via tax breaks?”

God, you’re probably right. There’d be protests at the theaters.

I know a lot of Democrats who aren’t really Democrats. By that, I mean they don’t really understand the tenets of liberal ideology, they say things like, “I’m not racist, but ...” and they think the poor deserve to be poor. Maybe they identify as Democrats because so many celebrities do? I dunno.

If the question had been preceded with the line, “President Obama says we should not bomb Agrabah ...” then I expect it’d be 100% of Republicans in favor of bombing.

I think it’s more his uncomfortable posture than his appearance that made me see it that way, as if he’d just jumped into the scene.

Looks like the infusion of some sturdy peasant DNA has done the royal family some good.

Correct.

You, my friend, have a great skill that needs to be preserved for all time. Preferably in amber.

That’s twisted, using an apparently feminist tactic as a way to reinforce the patriarchy.

When my wife and I first talked about marriage, we both assumed she’d take my name, not for gender reasons but because I’m proud of my family name and she’s embarrassed by hers (and I see that you noted this exact scenario in the story). She has a number of cousins and uncles running around being terrible people,…

I feel like every city, village, town, hamlet, ditch and cubbyhole in Pennsylvania belongs on the list. Are you telling me Scranton wouldn’t be insufferable if their low-rookie-league A-minus baseball squad won the IGA Foodliner Cup? Not to mention Pittsburgh, State College, Pa., and yes, Philly.

Boy, you showed him!

A know too many people who text when they should call and call when they should text.

Except they don’t have a plan at all [grumble grumble]

This is all the result of Emanuel having no actual constituency, and his habit of abandoning anyone likely to actually follow him.
