This is kind of a bad news/bad news situation but:
1) The Rock is showing interest in a political run
2) He would absolutely win
3) He's sounding pretty republican so far

The democrats need to offer a positive policy proposal that energizes people. There was a grassroots Fight for 15 movement spreading through the country during the campaign. Did Clinton seize this momentum, and adapt it as her own? No, she said "How about $12?".

Well, you also need dem leadership to actually HOLD that particular wildly popular, achievable position. Pelosi said it's never going to happen, California's democrats voted down an in-state Medicaid for all bill, etc.

If you would like evidence that the democratic party has not articulated a clear, positive vision for the future, I present their proposed slogans for 2018 midterms: http://www.salon.com/2017/0…

Le Pen and Wilders have political careers much longer than Trump's, and the fact that Front National made it into a runoff is absolutely their high water mark a party. Far from coasting, the european far right is as powerful as it has been in 70 years.

RON HOWARD: There's no need to worry
RON HOWARD VOICEOVER: There was.

Now THAT’s how you fight a media war

If you think that stuff was bad, you should see what the chicago dailies put on the op-ed page, every single damn day.

It’s insane that they would think that replay is inconclusive. Or even need a replay! There’s no damn way for a ball to bounce that direction except by hitting him in the foot!

Exactly. If certain groups are more likely to be undercounted absent an effective advertising campaign? And those groups are also more likely to vote for the other party? A certain party might find sitting on its hands to be an effective 2022 electoral strategy.

Really burying the lede here: the sox have called up Willy Garcia, putting the all-garcia outfield in play again

Half Acre brewery is on a pretty small storefront lot, so probably that.

Hmm, on the advice of his counsel, the only way we can get the subject of this investigation to speak to us is via a scriptwriter mining for juicy scenes. Let's do it.

All told, a better use of Microsoft billions than waging a war to privatize every school in america and calling it charity. Like some other philanthropist might, hypothetically.

Love too intellectually debate The Disease of the Arab Mind

Weird to have a blurb about a trailer for a pilot that came out 6 months ago

Between Piers Morgan and Louise Mensch, it’s like the Brits are tossing their trash in the sea and it washes up on the other side of the atlantic.

Very, very obvious coding of why “certain people” are poor. It’s certainly not redlining, or unequal public school respurces, or employment discrimination!

Lol at Daczyczn blaming video games, fast food, and footwear when the grinding, growing expenses crushing us all are RENT, CHILDCARE, HEALTHCARE and EDUCATION. Fuck off with that Mcdonald’s is why you’re poor shit.
