Are you, perhaps, speaking of Land Commissioner George P. Bush of Tejas?

Oh, don't be so stupid. Why would any of these run for president? Wall Street have already provided you with seventy zillion candidates who love foetuses, bankers (same thing) but hate not-white babbies. Which is the AMERICAN WAY.

(How do you know Americans are Crooks? Because when reminded there are Americans nearby, by listening to a SONG, they put their hands on their wallets to stop pick-pockets)

I feel a little chaffed now and again....

But seriously

Spoiler: The evangelical girls and boys are not going to vote for the pro-choice socialist Jew. Sorry, kids, but SCIENCE FACT.

I have an acquaintance who went to LU during the last election and they were handed pre-filled-out absentee ballots, or so he said. He seemed proud of that fact, being a hard right wing douchenozzle, until I kindly pointed out that it sounded right illegal and maybe someone should look into that with Fed eyes.Then he was less proud. But still, it would be irresponsible not to speculate on the veracity of his claim.

The media will remember the Democrats the moment the Democrats start spouting inane, hate filled drivel. So, never.

"Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive, conservative message can rise to the top," Walker said in a brief speech in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday evening. "With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately."

Ha--he is being called to FAIL, so that other, louder FAIL voices can rise to the top of FAIL.Oh, this must chafe his ass. Fucking sociopath saw nothing but endless graft in sight, and now he only has poor Wisconsin to fuck over, after all.

I don't know if you're aware of the specific event which inspired that particular tweet. Basically, a big drug company bought a smaller drug company that produces this drug that there's really not a whole lot of call for anymore, but it can be used both to treat and prevent malaria, as well as a treatment for toxoplasmosis in people with compromised immune systems (infants, HIV+, etc.). When the smaller company produced this drug, it cost $13.50 a pill. Now it costs $750/pill. Why? Because money.No one should be forced to choose between bankruptcy and life.

Metric conversion isn't a terrible idea (see also: every other country on Earth) but it is a terrible campaign issue.

We need to continue our current plan of teaching Americans the metric system via junk food. Pizza diameters in meters! Burger sizes in kilograms!

I continue to be appalled that Wonkette doesn't seem to know who Larry Lessig is. Yes, he's not a serious candidate for President, but give the guy a little respect for what he's done for us.

Read the story, didn't know at the time of that it was Hill's subject. Should have, I guess, it being a fresh story...

I'm not entirely sure she is a real person anymore. Seems more of a polling and marketing amalgamation.

That said, pretty sure the Republicans have investigated both benghazi and email gate way more than 911 was investigated.

Hillz and Bern should just get together, declare themselves nominated, and get a head start on the general election.

If you want to talk about a system the rest of the industrialized world uses, that we don't, you should talk about single-payer healthcare.
