Wow. We have got to make that a word.

At least they, bafflingly, got the "gyn" part right.

I was referring to the headline in the Washington Post in which Hillary supposedly said Bernie was "unqualified," which she did not. Headline writers condense the story as they see it, and they have been known to miss the point. I was once a headline writer. This goes back to the days when newspapers were mostly printed, so everything had to fit the page. An editor should have caught that, but didn't, stirring up a week's worth of controversy over something that was never said.

There used to be only a handful of liberal websites at the end of the 90's, and there was a liberal guy named Bartcop who was an oasis in the desert. He used to say Clinton never sent a soldier into battle that didn't return. Bartcop kept a running tally of all the soldiers and could only ever find one, from a land mine incident in Kosovo. I have a lot of reverence for that and the whole no war during his administration. I think it is a stunning achievement and one you won't be able to grant another Democratic president.

I think every president presides over hard decisions and I can't think of one that didn't make mistakes that cost lives. Especially in Libya.http://www.huffingtonpost.c...

I'm sympathetic too, even though the last time I rode the NYC subway I had to put a token in the turnstile ... and had to try three of them before I found one that wasn't jammed with slugs.

Is that a portion of the casserole that Chicagoans ironically refer to as "pizza?"

Yeah I missed that show because I never really knew what time it was.

no, that would be a fitbit. (I refuse to get a fitbit at least now since the iphone already keeps track of my whereabouts and I don't need another device recording when I sleep and when I take a dump (hopefully not in the same place or time.)

That's what you get when your barber colleges emphasize politics over hair-cutting skills.

So, I hear they have alarms that go off if you try to pee on the elevators in the subways in Atlanta.Nothing like learning from BART's mistakes. I hope BART can do the same.

It's just the worst, most hateful thing. To me it should have disqualified him immediately, and I was horrified that it didn't. Who would do that to a frightened, sick dog? And what does it teach the children?

Michele Bachman in NYC? Why? Demonstrating at a mosque? Eating pizza with a spork? Converting jews to Jesus?

To paraphrase the already beloved NY Daily News front page about Cruz: Michele - Take the G A Y
