I think Warren would be a great Speaker of the House — I'd rather see her there than as president, at least for now.

That's an interesting point. I'm on the East Coast, and my main concern with a Hilary campaign is that so many of us have just been assuming she'll win that I worry we'll have another Scott Brown or Larry Hogan scenario (i.e., conservatives winning in a blue state bc dems just figured they didn't need to bother).

"The rake's process"?

Schrodinger's rapist?

My policy is: how do guys behave when I call them on the things they say, and after I've talked to them, do they amend/attempt to amend their behavior? I guess it's a "second chances but no third chances" policy.

The drugstore part actually kiiinda makes sense — I am assuming he's referencing these:

Honestly I have no clue who either of the guys I posted are; I just googled "hipster dudes with hats and hoodies." But, yes. The things people do to keep their fragile worldview in tact.

Do these guys look like "bums" to you?

Yeah, I believe the standard for non-MD PhDs is to write "FirstName LastName, PhD" when you introduce them, and then continue with "Dr. LastName."
