Sheesh. Kids these days. No sense of tradition -- no player pianos in the ... ahhhhh ... sex worker place and no gracious concession speech when the election is rigged.

Ohhh, THAT Anna!!! I'm a bit slow sometimes but fast enough to vote for Hilz. So glad you've back striding again!

Literally or figuratively?

Damn, I just rolled my eyes so hard I think they're stuck.

The scoring system's always been rigged. Clinton starts with zero points, quickly works up to five points, then spends an hour trying to get one or two more.

Trump starts at ten points, drops to five during his first response, then quickly to zero and well into negative points as the debate continues.

At the end as a courtesy, Trump's arbitrarily raised from -200 or so to +1, so Clinton's +7 or +8 doesn't look so lopsided.

Then everyone on earth tries to explain what his gibberish really meant. The next day "deep" written rationalizations of why he did well pop up like mushrooms.

Add this to the ongoing futile around the clock spin to give him an advantage, any advantage and yes, the entire campaign season has been rigged. For Trump!

Who insists on harpooning himself every time he opens his mouth.

Wonkette is good therapy. There is something inherently good about confident people .... not arrogant people, confident ones. Those people aren't afraid to smile at strangers on the subway (they mostly smile back), and people pick up on it. They are not afraid of confident people.

I always wonder about people who won't return a smile. Maybe they are having a bad day? Maybe they are in an abusive situation? I smile anyway.

Arrogant people are condescending, and only are interesting when they are shown up to be shallow. Otherwise, I just ignore them.

I saw that and am once again inspired by good ole American ingenuity.That Trump casino is SO godawful ugly--it manages to somehow stand out in a sea of tacky. We always stay at the Wynn and now that I know how much the Dong hates Steve Wynn I think it's typical/pathetic that he put his casino within eyeball distance of the Wynn properties. You just KNOW he was thinking how his casino was gonna "outclass" Steve's. Nope, nope and nope.

Since Donald's from New York, we'll put this in terms that will be familiar to a New Yorker. Snip snip. We're done here, Donald.
