David Foster Wallace is spinning in his grave.

It's true. I was guilty of this, too, back in the early days of Obama - I totally underestimated the GOP's cynicism, and mistakenly thought they had some core principles. Mind, I disagreed with those principles, but I thought they existed. Trump and his cabinet and the party's unwillingness to challenge any of it show…

I admit to largely being ignorant about Live's oeuvre, but, uh, which of their songs would be appropriate to play during an uprising?

Truly, they were too EXTREME for this world.

I remember when I first started realizing how much of racism seems like it's rooted in the fear of "them" taking "our" woman folk, and how genuinely puzzled I was by that.

But that being said, I…

I would like to hire you to write a version of the entire story along these lines.

Dude, I worked for Bernie. He wasn't treated fairly, the Clinton-machine and the DNC in general are, I think, a big reason Trump is going to be President.

False equivalency. And, look, I'm a cynic, some days a misanthrope, but that can't be an excuse to just throw up your hands and walk away, which, frankly, is the logical conclusion of what you're saying.

And a grimly realistic illustration of what somebody raised by Batman would probably be like.

When did Ghost Rider become a robot?
