I think a Bush vs. Clinton election would be great if we’re trying to set a record for depressed turnout.

Yes. We all know now. Mitt Romney was absolutely right about everything. But guess what: Just didn’t like him.

It’s kinda scary when a country like China has information so sensitive you’d only expect Google to have it.

How do I set my watchman? It just keeps flashing “12:00”.

The problem is that no matter how solid we make the Three Laws of Politics, it all gets overridden by the zeroth law of “get elected.”

I thought quaaludes was something you bet when Captain Kirk fights an alien.

There are over 300 million guns in this country. I don’t care what background checks you have; it will never be hard to get one.

Preventing determined criminals from getting access to guns similar in scope to preventing determined criminals from getting access to lamps.

Any realistic gun policy starts with the assumption criminals can get guns whenever they want them.

Why didn’t OPM listen to Neil deGrasse Tyson and create an unhackable system?

Just had a thought: That Grande person who hates America – where was she when this hack happened?

I just don’t understand how it’s physically possible to take Donald Trump seriously.

  1. I don’t like Trump personally, and not just because he’s having a bad hair life, but I am rooting for him to win the Republican nomination. From there, for him it will be a cake walk into the Presidency. Remember, we don’t choose presidents by qualifications or competency–it’s just a popularity contest and he sure to be more popular than whatever burned out hippie the Communists run next year. He also has my support because, at least so far, he doesn’t talk like a politician– he actually tells the truth some of the time.

    And after all, when we’re choosing a candidate, what it boils down to is that we’re being forced to reach into a bucket full of turds to try to select the best turd with which to make the crap sandwich that we’ll be forced to eat. So of the current crop (of course at the pace we’re on there could be a couple hundred declared Republicans by the time the primaries start…) I think he’d make the least repulsive crap sandwich.

  2. You must’ve had a different watchman than I did. Mine was the black & white model below. It didn’t have a clock.

    I remember taking it to school one day because we were allowed electronics after a test. Girls tend to push real close to you when the screen is only 1.5″. I have no idea what we were watching.

  3. “If you want to escape your privilege, you need to take a time machine to the Stone Age.”

    Actually, I want my privilege to get off it’s duff and start privilegizing me better, I ain’t getting any younger.

  4. The only evidence Jesus is a socialist is the one time he used violent force to stop voluntary exchange.

    “Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.” Luke 6:30

  5. Actually if you want to escape your white privilege, you need to take a walk down the main drag of East St. Louis around midnight on any Friday night. Not only will you escape your privilege…you’ll most likely escape this life.

  6. Because you brought it up, I checked out Agents of SHIELD last night.

    Apparently replacing the Xmen with the Inhumans is Marvel’s way of saying FU to Fox for not giving up the rights to them. And Skye is even more insufferable now.
