O’Rourke’s experience in government isn’t that dissimilar from Obama’s. Beto served six years in Congress; Barack was on Capitol Hill just two years before declaring his candidacy for president. Prior to federal government, O’Rourke spent six years on the city council in El Paso while Obama was a state senator for…

Same on border security. It’s frustrating to hear people speak as if merely erecting a barrier solves the problem. Ignoring that the vast majority of illegals don’t wander across the Sonoran desert to begin with, a passive barricade just doesn’t work. A determined entrant will get over a wall, so what happens when…

. . . Steinberg: The Aristocrats!

Sorry - meant to edit, fucked up my copy-paste and nuked my original post. I blame the shutdown :D

Anyway, I haven’t looked at the legal arguments in depth enough to have an opinion on the likelihood of their success, but I do think they could drag on the majority of the 21 months until the next election and give the…

Exactly this. Like it or not, he’s the kind of Democrat that can win in Ohio. Demand he campaign on progressive policies and you can say hello to Senator Jim Jordan.

Sherrod Brown is from Ohio, a state with a Republican governor (for the 7th term in the last 8), a Republican legislature (a 60%+ supermajority in both houses) and a Republican in the state’s other US Senate seat. Ohio did go for Obama twice, but it’s a red state in all other regards. If Brown tries to stake his…

To boldly keep gates that no one has kept before...

Covington Catholic is a few miles outside Boone County, KY, which is where Charlottesville murderer James Fields grew up. Coincidence, I’m sure...

And while I’m here, it deserves mention that Mother Love Bone were good. 

Temple of the Dog was a tribute album dedicated to Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone and Cornell’s former roommate. He died from a heroin overdose in 1990, right before the band’s only album was released and just as the grunge movement took off. Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament were in Mother Love Bone at…

All four of the President’s grandparents were born in Europe, and I prefer Cherry Coke.

That people now cover Temple of the Dog songs as a tribute for Chris Cornell is just so goddamned sad. 

Particularly in a game series that has hinged explicitly on DNA and biological ancestry. 

Regardless of Brown’s merits, I don’t want him running just because he’s a Democratic senator in a Republican-governed state. If he wins the presidency, the Democrats lose a seat in the upper chamber in a year that’s already sure to cost them Jones in Alabama.

Believe it or not, this is Clemson’s second trip during the Trump administration. If they should win again next year, I expect he’ll make them brown bag it.

Yeah, I can’t think of a reason he should pick baseball. Just a couple months to the NFL draft - break a leg, Kyler!

Also, RGIII got to try out all kinds of wheelchairs, crutches and knee braces during his brief football career, plus lots or rides in the MRI machine.

It doesn’t matter. His supporters will shoot their own dicks off if Fox tells them it’ll own the libs.
