OT - via Disqus News ViewsAre we looking at a Trump-Carson Ticket?
Donald Trump and Ben Carson threatened CNBC that they will boycott the October 28th debate if the network does not change their format. CNBC has scheduled a two hour debate with a total of four commercials and no opening or closing statements. In other words, the candidates will have nothing but questions to answer. Trump argued that extending the debate time was only a ploy to sell more commercials.
If the Republicans have lost David Brooks should they shut up shop and go home?
David Brooks ... suggests that the current incarnation of the Republican party has "degraded slowly, over the course of a long chain of rhetorical excesses, mental corruptions and philosophical betrayals. Basically, the party abandoned traditional conservatism for right-wing radicalism."Brooks writes, "These insurgents are incompetent at governing and unwilling to be governed. But they are not a spontaneous growth. It took a thousand small betrayals of conservatism to get to the dysfunction we see all around."
Sadly, in our Parliament in the frozen north, it is the leadership who have an iron grip. However, it looks like by Monday, we go from Ming the Merciless (aka Dear Leader Stephen Harper) to a kinder, gentler (and cuter!) Justin Trudeau.
The Donald might be right about the extended debate time. The outlets that are carrying the debate are making serious book with ratings. I wouldn't be surprised if this creates a new kind of reality show where we have perpetual campaigns.
There is always time for love I say.

Perhaps not the right article for this.
Commentariat habit is to use "OT" as off topic and leave it up to the Editrix as too whether she wants to follow up.
Obviously he's THAT GOOD. Just like in that movie with Meg Ryan, I'll have whatever she's having.

You and the Jays. Fuuuuuck.
Lets face it, he would have been a damn sight easier to arrest - all he wanted to to was roll over and go to sleep.

Ugh. Your lips, to Roger Ailes' ears.

The one situation in which we can all agree that smaller government is definitely not better.
