Until reading the information posted above I would have been very confused, not knowing that to be a suit the fabric had to match (I’m not entirely sure what that means exactly, but that does seem key).

Well, I just retook it for the first time in five years or so. I think I’ve gotten even leftier.

Call it amnesiastalgia.

[Side note: What’s the matter with Brooklyn is a question that answers itself]

This is glorious.

I will hold my nose and vote for Hillary because she’s not the Republican. I live in a swing state - anything else would be irresponsible.

I understand that point. I’m interested in Bernie running for president, and since he’s running as a Democrat, that’s where I’ve got to be if I want to support him. I care about the democratic party in that I want it to move further left and actually go back to standing for something rather than standing for…

Fascinating. Thanks for the video.

I’m not a Democrat. I’d prefer to not register as one. I am doing it solely to be able to vote for Bernie in the caucus. And since I’m not Bernie, I’m not seeking the support of Democrats.

Really? Nifty.

Nope, got to register with the party to participate. You can do it there, but it has to be done. I’ll probably re-register independent once the general comes around.

This one was predicted to be pretty nasty, and the stretch of 380 from Iowa City to Cedar Rapids particularly so. My wife packed an overnight bag in case she had to sleep at the office due to the storm making a trip tomorrow morning unsafe, and she’s from Minnesota which is even nuttier about snow than Iowa.

Going to be part of my first Iowa caucus tonight (bit grumbly that I have to register as a Democrat to participate, but c’est la vie). You’ll see a live blog of it on the Powder Room tonight.

Cruz’s seduction face is awful.

Not much. Was in class during the debate. Would totally love to get in the black over here, though.

The words were placed in his mouth and allowed to escape. Don’t go leaving words in your mouth you don’t want falling out, bro. That’s careless misplacement of words, and it suggests carelessness in thought and other areas as well.

Bush’s involvement in this happened when I was in Middle School in Georgia, and was one of the first high-profile cases which cemented me in the direction of “Never be a Republican.” Jeb Bush, not George, planted that seed for me.

I’m not from a rich white neighborhood either. Working class army family, actually.

I consider [thing] to be [other thing] is a fine construction, and certainly a more common one than “consider [x] as [x]” where I am. You’re being quite silly, you know. The joke is deliberately simple because the target (Trump) is not worth expending the energy it would take to craft a complex joke.

There’s an implied ‘to be’ between the gerund phrase “getting someone pregnant” and the second gerund phrase “shooting to maim.” I’m sorry that you’re incapable of comprehending rather common syntactical structures.
