You are exactly right. Her response is the measured, respectful response of a politician. That’s exactly what she (and others in politics) should be saying right now. We don’t have to do the post-mortem evaluation if McCain seconds after he died.

Classic perfect is the enemy of good. Don’t get me wrong, perfect is a great goal, but liberals need to understand the difference between the short and the long game. Yes, 50 years from now we ought to be perfect. For this election cycle let’s try to be f*cking ecstatic about good.

Yup. She made one standard issue statement on somebody’s passing and people are roasting her alive for being to generous with the adjectives. Jesus Christ people, it’s just a forgettable boilerplate press release.

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

And she can do all that while thinking McCain was a decent person.

Couldn’t have said it better.

THE RIGHT: These Leftists are rising in popularity. We must tear them down!

Eating our own, as per usual. 

Are people not allowed to be civil and even kind to whom they disagree with anymore?

Watched ‘Green Room’. Was horrible/repulsive film to view. When over, wow, really good ‘cinema’ experience etc. Also checked out Kubrick’s ‘Eyes Wide Shut’ & ‘Gummo’ from Free Library Philly.

I discovered Film Struck, a service with classic and Criterion Collection films. Man, the Roku app is terrible. It keeps cutting me off, loading, and doesn’t save your place in a movie. But I’m getting caught up on the Thin Man series, of which I had only seen the first two films. William Powell is one of my all time…

I’m stoked to see 2001 in IMAX. I’ve seen it theatrically before and it was possibly my single greatest theater experience. 

Just finished watching the Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe documentary that came to Netflix yesterday, and it was quite a bit better than I expected. It definitely covers the genesis of the toys, comics, shows, and movie, but it also delves into other aspects like…

just wanted to post some pix of my soulmate tegan last weekend @ the beach (notice the blue skies, we have been suffering smoke from forest fires so walking out of the forest onto the beach and seeing all that blue.. it was a welcome sight)

My birthday was yesterday! It was a good day. Got so much love at work... They did a superhero theme and everyone dressed up (& candy crush gave me Ghirardelli and treats for Bucky... way to make it harder to get over you, pretty boy) then I went to see She Wants Revenge at this ridiculously tiny venue and had the…

yours is so cute! 

Just try to keep calm if you feel like a connection is forming and don’t go overboard because you’re lonely.  Going straight to hanging out is tough, give it a couple “hey let’s take the dogs to the park” dates or “Want to check out this new consignment shop with me” dates and then be like “want to come over and have…

The partners at my firm argued for an injunction to prevent our state’s defunding of Planned Parenthood the other day.  I’m so fucking in awe.

None of my stuff is blocking them so far. Honestly though those things are such fucking garbage and whoever thought they were a good idea is shit at their jobs.

I was listening to the live audio from a derby tournament and heard the name of a referee that I have not only learned from, but reffed next to. Yeah, secondhand pride there. (He’s also reffed championship tournaments, but that’s before I started wearing stripes, so it’s exciting. Hush.)
