Will (and the other commentators) have a good point, in that the party primary systems were designed to prevent a candidate like Trump from becoming the nominee. However, it goes without saying that (at least for the Republican party) the system has failed miserably.

You k ow the right wing pervs that passed this law can’t wait to start “checking for compliance”. It’s great that these guys are so concerned about women and children—between all of the trap laws and bathroom bills—from sexual predators and other horrible things. And yet they failed to notice that their beloved…

Vodka & Diet Coke is a pretty popular beverage among the alcoholics I know—the stay at home kind who can’t be bothered with all of that cocktail nerd bullshit, and who doesn’t want to spend money on decent Scotch or Bourbon (even the good stuff will give you a hangover if you drink enough of it, which you will). It’s…

If Trump were really as popular as he claims to be, the rules wouldn’t be an issue. He has yet to capture a majority of votes in any state (although he came close in Massachusetts and Kansas). As the other candidates have exited the clown car, their supporters haven’t really flocked to him (even if those candidates…

Given the polarization in congress right now, Garland was the right choice because it makes the other side look that much worse for not holding hearings. He’s a good choice precisely because of his lack of diversity (I guess being Jewish doesn’t count as “diverse” anymore), since it makes it really hard for anyone to…

Hillary should pledge to nominate Obama to the Supreme Court if the Senate won’t confirm Garland (or any nominee) this time around. That’s literally their doomsday scenario.

Conservatives jerk it to the Federalist papers. When I saw Karl Rove speak at my university during the W. administration, he must have cited them as the answer to every question he was asked.

Yeah, and in 2000 we didn’t even get to pick the guy who picks the Supreme Court Justice—the Supreme Court actually picked the POTUS for us! Talk about the tail wagging the dog!

Was “The Fibbing Company” already taken?

Chris Rock did a great job last night, and was spot-on with his assessment of Hollywood’s being “Sorority Racist”. As I watched the show with some Donald Trump-supporting members of my extended family, I guess I wasn’t all that surprised to hear them say “Chris Rock is a racist”, or “well, he’s racist against white…

Sounds like he’d be a great segment producer at Dateline NBC/48 Hours Investigates, where he can describe all of the gory details of how a husband murdered his wife, or a wife murdered her husband (I’m sure he’ll leave the segments focusing on gay couples for someone else). The gory details always add that extra bit…

However horrible what she did may be (I really don’t know, nor is it especially important here), I seriously doubt that she’s any kind of threat to society. Since her crime was facilitated by her ability to practice FC, she should no longer be allowed to practice FC or treat patients in any way. Maybe spending a…

David Vitter might have allowed it...but not this Brat

As a member of the camp that has gotten some help from parents over the years (the occasional plane ticket home, family-talk plan, etc) I’m definitely aware of the privilege. However I’ve always justified it in part because I grew up with a higher standard of living than I’m actually entitled to, and it’s hard for…

I always thought the point of keeping your wallet out was to let the bartender know that you intended to complete the transaction quickly. All too often, people order that first round of drinks and then realize they left their wallet, cards or cash in their jacket that they’ve checked (or at home, if they didn’t plan…

This news is only going to embolden the conservative establishment’s push to kill Obamacare—they’re not going to allow themselves to lose their war on women’s health. Besides, I’m sure they’re going to respond with some smarmy bullshit about how a bunch of men shouldn’t have to pay for women’s health unless Obamacare…

This is a real flashback to the first Jenny McCarthy era—when she was on Singled Out and MTV (in the wake of the Ryan White and other horribly ignorant acts of violence/malice committed against people with AIDS/HIV) used to run commercials about how it was impossible to contract AIDS or HIV from kissing, sharing a cup…

can I please get a drop-top bronco?

kinda seems like a jacked-up mini cooper (and with a roll bar, it might look more like a PT Cruiser convertible than an International Scout or something cool), definitely not an heir to the legacy of the convertible Defender—I know it’s not trying to be, but the US has always had a dearth of awesome open-top SUVs that…

Now they just have to address the soul-crushing (and physically crushing) work practices in their Fulfillment Centers for their “Contract Workers” or whatever you call people who perform work full time for your benefit but don’t receive benefits and work for a “staffing company”.
