Is there a good reason to compare the total death rate (including suicide, accident, malfunction, etc.) for autos with just the murder rate (does it even include manslaughter or reckless endangerment?) for guns? Because the total deaths caused by automobiles and guns are actually almost even, separated by about 1,000…

This is exactly why we have about a million traffic laws, testing/licensing, and state and federal agencies devoted to regulating driving and improving highway safety because it’s so dangerous. But when it comes to guns I guess the best we can do is occasionally require a background check because liberty!

There is nothing symbolic or meaningful about it. Voting for Nader in 2000 did not lead to better environmental policy when Bush won. Writing in…

Did the Republicans invent time travel and not tell us???? Why are we partying like it’s 1993 again?

Dangit. I relate to him so much now.

Here’s a pretty succinct breakdown of the “scandal.”Honestly, the biggest lapse in judgment concerning the whole thing is that she and her team didn’t properly understand the security concerns. Which isn’t great, but it’s hardly the worst thing a politician has done on the internet.

For real

I nearly lost my goddamn mind when “Vince Foster” became a trending topic on twitter a couple days ago.

Seriously, what are Bernie’s fun hobbies that make him so relatable? Befriending birds?
