Still derpy after all these years.

Put the biscuit on the top shelf: you're doing it wrong.

Representing Richmond is a grimm task on any day.

The LaRouchie U.S. Labor Party?

Agreed. Plausible deniability can easily shade into nonfeasance and willful ignorance.

Or traffic cone-oli.

Block the ramp, and drop the cone-olis.

It's a prickish perfect storm.

From a mobile device, it can seem like it's "read only." The problem is with Intense Debate, not with Wonkette.

I don't know how you would do this in iOS, but if you are using Android you can go to the site on your desktop or laptop using Chrome and log onto Intense Debate from there as usual. Then fire up Chrome on your Android device and synch it with your desktop tabs. The Wonkette tab in Android Chrome will henceforth display you as being logged into ID. (You need to be signed into your Google account in order to synch tabs with mobile and desktop versions of Chrome.) This login seems to be persistent; you will remain logged in even after you have quit and relaunched the tab without needing to resynch with the desktop, and you can quit the desktop version without losing your login on your mobile device.

Does Safari have a similar feature? I am guessing that it very likely does.

Texas a la his brother George - instead of Connecticut...

You can get it if you really want...

[And what you really want just doesn't happen to be a four year reservation at The White House, of course.]

No, that's actual votes.

62,040,610 people voted for W in 2004. 59,948,323 people voted for McCain in 2008. 60,221,746 people voted for Romney in 2012.

The typical margin in the popular vote in contemporary elections is /- 3 million votes, or 1% of the total US population. Obama still won by a record margin in the popular vote both times due to higher voter turnout - hence the value to the GOP of voter suppression laws. (One of the most precious things Obama has given us is an increase in voters of almost 10 million above a decade ago.) And hence the value to us of the Electoral College.

In 2000, with low turnout, the difference between W and Gore in the popular vote was <600,000, with both candidates winning under 51 million.

I'd be delighted to see the GOP split between a libertarian/independent/teaper branch and a Wall Street/business branch. But the GOP knows that would be suicide. (That's why, until now, they've fielded unexpectedly not-extreme candidates like Romney and McCain. Who later imploded when forced to swing right.) Rather than risk that, the whole party may swing all the way over to the right.

Say, you know what other political party swung all the way to the right?

Oh the old I've known him for years and he would not do that type of thing speech until he does that type of thing,then it is well he has always been a little mean but I figured me helping him would make him a better person.Its just what I do make people around me better.Just like some of the sportsball players of the world but you governor are no Peyton Manning.So it is time for you to be Manning up and quit blaming the waterboy Wildstien cause you fumbled the fucking ball, aint instant replay {investigating} a beautiful thing it helps to insure the right call gets made after someone fucks up and it wasnt the cheerleader Kelly.

True 'nuff. The month is young.

Maybe the President should back Christie. Strongly. That'll explode quite a few arteries (not among the crazy 27%, but still).

In any case, the Fox Noose target demo is shrinking...
