Democrats' heavy-handed tactics such as rallying a mob to invade the capitol in order to overturn a presidential election and attempt to assassinate US Government leaders.... oh wait....

Unless I misread the post this is an edited version. If it has been edited then I thank the poster for making what I think is a worthwhile correction.

I had a poli-sci professor at NYU who was an ex-Green Beret who had worked for Nixon & Reagan and always wore three-piece suits. I can't say I agreed with the man's politics, but he wasn't a delusional whackjob and he was a very good teacher. And he did let us skip class to go out to Washington Square Park to watch the Ramones play a Jerry Brown rally.

Anyway, one of his early gigs was as an aide to someone who had to do a lot of meetings with Lyndon Johnson. He told us a story of how LBJ liked to take meetings in the White House pool or the bathroom because he was impressively endowed and it would intimidate the other politicians.

Even if it's not true, it's a good story. And the Prof. told us a lot of weird tales of Washington, but nothing else that nuts (pardon the pun), so I'm inclined to believe it.

BTW Tim Ryan more than doubled his twitter followers. Good on him. More speeches like this please.

O/T, but I was in the shower this morning and looked up and read "Activated Bamboo Charcoal and Purple Moonstone" on a bottle of shampoo and thought what sorcery is THIS?!?!?

I am a simple man, who knows little of such things.

Democrats need to go full out smash mouth for the workers and roast the Republicans for their opposition. Don't waste a minute "reaching across the aisle", unless it's with a knife in hand. The Republicans are the enemy; just ask them.

Culture wars are running a little thin if Dr. Seuss is the most powerful weapon in their arsenal.

Well, you know that they are pretty and exotic words, which I'm pretty sure is their primary purpose.

"Whites" is a pretty vast overgeneralization here. Perhaps you should be more specific when you're dishing out the shame. We don't need more racism.

And yes, you did just attack the "white" race.

Nope! No such thing as reverse racism. But thanks for playing. Actually, no, no thanks.

Maybe she should have said "the majority of whites." Oh wait, she did.
