Did any Hillary supporters actually give a shit that she didn’t speak on election night? I honestly probably couldn’t have stomached a concession speech that evening, and I don’t blame Hillary for waiting until the morning to regroup.

This is a roundabout analogy, but I compare Clinton’s loss to the Packers/Seahawks playoff game from 2015 (http://deadspin.com/this-is-how-close-the-seahawks-came-to-never-even-start-1680433146)

Here’s an idea: don’t let it bother you. Why do you care if a few people feel like this is something special and a connection to their dead relatives.

White Sox fans have the reputation of being insecure fucks. I’m not sure where that comes from...

Not that being dead ever stopped Chicago residents from participating in the electoral process.

That you feel the need to come on here and pat yourself on the back on a Cubs post is the most Sox fan inferiority complex thing ever. Cheers.

somewhere right now a conservative blogger is angrily pounding out a post about how hillary robbed the benghazi people of seeing this historic moment.

Just before the final out, my 95 year old grampa, veteran of two wars, cancer survivor, and long-suffering cubs fan, pulled me aside and, with a tear forming in his steel grey eyes, said, “The blacks ruined this neighborhood and your sister dresses like a whore.” This was for him.

I’ll start worrying about Obama’s accountability, when the GOP starts worrying about all the times they stopped him from fixing stuff.

I can’t blame a fireman for not putting out a fire when the town wouldn’t buy him a firetruck. Which is basically the only explanatory analogy anyone needs for Benghazi, but for some…

HE DOES. I LOVE/HATE EVERY MOMENT.

When I was 13 I was totally in love with Admiral Daala. In hindsight this was a fine combination of terrible taste and terrible decision-making.

This book has its faults, but it does lead to Pallaeon becoming Supreme Commander, which is about the best thing to ever happen to the Empire.

“Aaand Daala’s straight-up massacre of the Moffs is one of the more fantastic character moments in the whole EU, which really just goes to show how incredible it is that that woman got elected as Chief of State for the G.A.”

He even warns Lemelisk he doesn’t want to have to think up another way to kill him!

Callista was a Jedi during the Clone Wars, whose consciousness ended up in a computer where she first fell in love with Luke. Then it ended up in the body of one of Luke’s students who died (most of Luke’s students die or turn to the Dark Side, including the death of one in this book) but the transfer meant she lost…

Hey be fair, if memory serves, it isn’t just an asteroid that destroys the Darksaber, it’s two....spinning like a pair of grinding wheels that chew it up.
It’s been 20 years since I read the thing, but I remember being FURIOUS they killed Crix Madine since my 8 year old mind made him and “Bearded Endor Commando” my two…

What makes Darksaber so bad? The answer to this question is... Kevin J. Anderson

I... guess I see where you’re coming from? I’ve always loved the Daala subplot of the Callista trilogy, though. Dorsk 81's crazy Praxeum defense has always been one of my favorite Star Wars moments, in that it really shows Star Wars’ overall dedication to tracking its side-character cast from introduction to fitting…

I think creepy does depend. For example: "Is it creepy to talk about who to have sex with when discussing a chart?"
