If my kid becomes a Rush fan, I’ve failed as a parent.

Know what’s really not punk? Pretending a blue-eyed septuagenarian Vermont senator who voted for the War in Afghanistan— and whose record on gun legislation is equally lousy— is the only “progressive” option.

Yes, he's to the right of Lenin. If that's your criteria, cool.

if you cook through it, just please don’t write a maudlin book about it.

That’s fine. But he still has 18 months to be a candidate. You can make your opinion, but why are we disqualifying him or anyone else for that matter, on day 2.

Exactly— we’re still in early days— this is the brand-building phase. It’s how politics work. First you put your face and voice out there and let people take your measure. Zooming in on the issues & policy will come later. I’m utterly unfussed by the depth & variation of the list of prospects so far, because they’ll…

She’s losing money. Trust. Otherwise she wouldn’t bother to address this. 

I was a voter in the 2000 election and don’t remember Clinton’s sexual proclivities (Lewinsky was far from the only associated name) having much effect on Gore, who was a solid family man. He was just an uninspiring candidate and suffered from what the parties of most two-term presidents experience, which is voter…

Bill’s still only seen as a rascal womanizer, not as a guy who used his position and power to have sex with a young intern at his place of work. Lewinsky was never granted that same double standard. 

Bernie Sanders has announced that he will model his campaign after the Tommy Dorsey orchestra

Sephora is selling her stuff at half off. I guess she figured it was time to save her brand. Also, Googling isn’t research. 

This soup was big in the 1970s, of course, and we served it at our restaurant.  Our key was using half chicken stock half beef stock.

But, unlike before, I have learned my lesson and I am choosing not to make our decision public.”

She has far more grace than I could ever imagine having in her situation. I imagine the bullshit will more or less persist until her eventual obituary, which of course will reference Clinton.

And if Archduke Ferdinand didn’t want that sandwich we never would have had WWI. But I don’t think it’s fair to attribute the war and everything that came with it (Economic despair, Hitler, WWII, the Atomic Bomb) to him.

Bernie Sanders supporters acting like assholes? Check. Bernie Sanders supporters being completely irrational about the Clintons? Check. Bernie Sanders supporters pulling the focus to themselves and making discussion about the actual issue nearly impossible? Check. How much do you want to bet at the planning meeting…

Of course it isn’t antisemitic to criticize Israel. Nobody on the left has suggested otherwise. It IS antisemitic to say it’s all about the Benjamins and say people are swearing allegiance to the state of Israel over the interests of the United States, which is Protocols of Zion shit.
