Prank is definitely down there, but “hoax” is something like dressing up as Sasquatch. Or Ken Griffey’s grotesquely sw0llen jaw, and other nerve tonics from the 1880s. Or P.T. Barnum dressing up a monkey as a rabbit or something.

I hope he doesn’t drop out anytime soon. Now that Trump has somewhat reeled in the crazy and Carson is about to drop out any day, we don’t have a lot of people who will bring the funny anymore.

Definitely. Also “it appears you need me more than I need you.”

Her statement about quality control and the fact that she’s a law student leads me to believe that this is more tongue in cheek than anything...so to her I say you go girl. Get that lifetime supply of kit kats.

Seriously, who cares about Iowa anyway? And, potatoes, who wants to be famous for potatoes? It's an ugly vegetable. Who wants to eat ugly vegetables? I certainly don't. Do you know what's beautiful? Corn. Great vegetable, tremendous vegetable. Just beautiful. That's what New Hampshire has, right? Corn? That's why I'm…

As a San Franciscan, I just want to say that I don’t think there’s a better way for The City to spend its money than hosting a prestigious event on its 50th anniversary.

props to 90-yr old Michigan’s ex-Rep. Dingell for trolling so well

He will. It’s just after how tiring the festivities were, he’s probably knee deep in bodies, ravenously sucking blood in a feeding frenzy to maintain some semblance of youth. He’ll lift his head soon from a femoral artery, his lips and face smeared with blood to bellow at an intern to grab him his phone and some baby…

I am 100% positive I could have gotten more votes in Iowa than Gilmore.

OMG! Politico now has a countdown clock...

Everyone wants to be the hero delivering water (I’m sure it’s imminently more “’grammable”) but there’s plenty of other behind-the-scenes-work. Loading vans, grouping together the donations that are pouring in. Helping to deal with the daily onslaught of 90 pizzas being donated from Dominos to feed the volunteers.* A…

i’m sure we’ll get more in depth analysis later. Dirt Bag is a scheduled column so it’s not a big deal it was posted when it normally is.

I mentioned this in another thread last night, but I volunteered in Flint on Sunday and what struck me most was the diversity of volunteers. I was a little freaked out to see a bunch of white men in camo that looked like Ammon Bundy supporters, but the volunteer coordinator said that Michigan militias have been…

Also unnecessary but necessary to point out that these plumbers belong to a Union, the exact thing that Snyder has been trying to undermine.

It is awesome! I was a volunteer coordinator in Mississippi for a year after Katrina. We had lots of universities, church groups, etc. swing through but nothing got the job done and lifted spirits like actual professionals in necessary trades. Roofers, electricians, drywallers, painters- all over the country and all…

This is excellent news. I probably quote Coal Miner’s Daughter at least once per day. You cain’t marry him, you only thir-tayn! I also call my boyfriend a “big ol’ bar” every time he starts to get grumpy.

Eh, he’s a highly regarded and respected doctor. My previous experience working with surgeons is that they are really good at one thing, operating. They save lives, change lives and enhance lives. Due to their egos though, many of them think their talents translate in to other areas, like owning businesses, or day…

Their stories are like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. “Your wife just gave birth and you have nothing to clamp the umbilical cord with. What do you do?”. If you pick: “Claim newborn infant was handed off to medical doctor husband while wife with impressive 500 foot long cord still attached jogs upstairs looking for…

I kind of wish the bill didn’t include “Hoax” and that this wasn’t the way swatting was described. Seems a hell of a lot more serious. At least I haven’t seen it referred to as a “prank” in a while, but “hoax” is not really that much better.

No, he won’t win. Because no one, and it looks like absolutely NO ONE can stand the guy. If you take a poll, if there were a choice between Satan and Cruz, Satan would win by a landslide.
