And to celebrate the unique and special melding of Chinese, Taiwanese, and American food and culture, Donald Trump has decided to get us all killed by tearing off the scab of the decades-old and largely nonsensical cold war between China and Taiwan.

Correct! Also true for turkey. White meat is garbage compared to dark meat.

Canadian Chinese food is very polite, except when you take it to a sports game, at which point it will start hurling beer cans at visiting players while shrieking like a banshee.

I watched the first episode of Frequency and I'm amazed it's made it this far.

I, too, liked Rebecca's size medium shirt.

Rebecca's life is just one bad decision after another.

I was so proud of Maya for finally standing up for herself and telling Darryl off. And I was, to a lesser extent, proud of Darryl for admitting he was in the wrong, apologizing, and trying to make it up to her.

Ah, you're in Chris Collins' district? Yeah, that was a hatchet job. At least Andrew Cuomo gave Kathy Hochul a nice soft landing…

There's some smart people who have published analyses suggesting gerrymandering has cost the Democrats dozens of House districts and hundreds of legislative districts around the country — Stephen Wolf at Daily Kos Elections comes to mind.

Mitt "Captain Barbossa" Romney

If SCOTUS kills partisan gerrymandering, at least this decade wasn't a complete waste.

For the umpteenth time…this show is so frustrating because it clearly has a deep understanding and appreciation of why we love baseball. The star player coming up to bat with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, with a chance to tie or win the game with one swing…the curtain call for the hometown hero whose time is…

This has been a catastrophically bad year unless you're a Cubs fan, a white supremacist, or a Luddite.

Fuck this shitty year.

You don't remember the so-called "Bernie blackout"? "We're taking on the political establishment"? The accusations of unfairness in primaries and caucuses won by Clinton? Attacking the DNC? Insisting over and over on a "contested convention"?

What you do is you speak to the concerns of as many groups as you can without alienating the other groups you need to win or compromising your own moral principles (i.e., say you could win Joe Sixpack's vote by promising to deport all the Mexicans, ban Muslims, and stuff the homosexuals back into the closet because…

I would really rather nobody get shot in the head. It's distressing how violent rhetoric (and actions) have become part and parcel of our politics.

Exactly. By staying in the race for months and lying to his supporters that he could still win, and that the only reason he wasn't winning was because of Democratic corruption and the lying media, he played directly into Trump's hands, piloting the message Trump would ultimately use to win the White House and…

Absolutely does. But instead of "warning signs", a coalition of staunch Republicans, conservative- and libertarian-leaning independents, rural Democrats who were led to believe Clinton was equally or more untrustworthy than Trump, holier-than-thou so-called "progressives" who saw Clinton as insufficiently pure, and lit…

As much as what I want to do is tell the Bernie-or-Busters and the poor oppressed working people whose rights the Trump administration is going to strip away but who voted for him or sat this one out anyway that they can go pound sand, Democrats need to win them back in the next go-'round.
