They teach us how to question assumptions; to wonder why something is the way it is, and how we can make it better. And they remind us that there’s always something more to learn, and to try, and to discover, and to imagine — and that it’s never too early, or too late to create or discover something new.

A-fucking-men

I don't always agree with Barry, but I'd sure like to buy him a beer... that gave me a great fundraising idea. Buy Barry a Beer - where everyone donates the cost of their favorite brew.

You'd raise more money with a "Buy Boehner a Bourbon" fundraiser in which everyone chips in a penny each time the Speaker takes a slug.

I hate GS cookies too. The local group was letting us buy them and they would ship them to the 'troops'. I really don't hate the troops that much but if I was sitting in some hell hole away from home maybe they wouldn't taste so bad.

I'm confused. Democrats would be delighted if Cruz ran, because he'd make the GOP even less credible, and visibly so. Republicans would be miserable if Warren ran, because she actually recognizes and refutes bullshit when she hears it, and she'd get actual grassroots support rather than the GOP blend of astroturf and crabgrass.So why is it even a question?

I think Starbucks deserved all the ridicule it got, but I wonder why the race-relations thing was so widely mocked, while that "Create Jobs for USA" bullshit from about two years ago just passed by unnoticed. Especially since the Starbucks CEO had just got done firing a few thousand people.

He seems to talk about stroking his pen a lot, doesn't he?

Because false equivalence is all they've got.
