I never understood the Courtney hate. Yeah, she comes off as a bit of an attention seeker, but if we judge her just based on the merits of her music, her band did two absolutely brilliant albums (Live Through This and Celebrity Skin). I've always thought Love Through This was every bit as great of an album as…

They do make decent donuts though, for a chain place.

How would you fix it? The Republicans can raise mountains of cash to bury the DNC for the next 20 years. When you have a candidate with numbers as good as Hillary’s, you pave the way for that candidate. I don't know why everyone is assuming she's going to turn into Ted Cruz if she gets elected.

Agreed.

He didn't though. I could be wrong but he tried to stop her doing that, and he was the only one.

Spoiler alert: in the last episode, Joan actually does burn the building down. Directed by David Fincher.

I think her only problem with Don was that he cost her a lot of money when the IPO didn't happen, but still, that was preferable to how she's been treated at McCann so far.

Peggy fucking owns the place.

Did you notice the scene where Joan runs into Don in the elevator, and after he left I couldn’t help but wonder if she was thinking ‘I may have had my differences with that guy, but at least he didn’t treat me like these fucking people?’

True, but much of the fundraising and campaign efforts that ultimately will matter in the general election happen so early now that it doesn’t benefit the party to spend those resources on a candidate whom they don’t think can win in the general. I agree with you, I’m just saying this is how I think those decisions…

You have to consider why she is the inevitable candidate, though: her numbers are outstanding. If she can get even a fraction of Obama’s coalition together with married white women to vote for her, she's unstoppable. Why would the party take the chance on someone else? That's one of the few advantages the DNC has is…

I agree with you about striking a balance between clomping and chilling. Also, a lot of it depends on whether or not it’s your first visit to a place. Everyone likes to talk about getting off the beaten path, but I think the first time you visit a place as iconic as London or Paris, if you leave without seeing at…

My first concert was The Dead Milkmen! In 1991, it was unreal.

I work at a major research university, and I can tell you that no one is exactly swimming in research money for climate research. I know it wasn't you that was saying this, you mentioned your relatives, but I have heard this from other conservatives and I still can't believe it. By that logic, you could also conclude…

Why not, Darren Wilson claimed to fear for his life because a kid allegedly punched him?

If he does, there is a courthouse in Charleston that should be burned to the ground.

agreed, I thought it was her when he first saw her.

I worked in production for years, and that's fucked up. Yeah, it's a male dominated field, but I would never make the assumption that a woman on the crew doesn't know what she's doing. Production is a fairly efficient meritocracy, you don't see someone on the crew if they don't know what they're doing, and anyone who…

#1 is the most astounding to me, but that could be just because I'm not an animal lover. The longer I live on this earth, the more I am convinced that people like animals better than other humans.

Everyone needs to read this comment. You win.
