I often wonder if it is my strict fundamentalist upbringing that allows me more skepticism when someone is trying to sell me swampland in Florida.

I have seen this comment before, I started this campaign pro-Hillary, I loved her since the Clinton era.

I knew that the attacks on her were on her because she was a moderate female. It is a rare thing to have a moderate “equalist” woman anywhere. The top 50 pundits had 7 women only one was a feminist and she was also a moderate.

Nobody is saying you have to give up your microwave and go back to Jiffy-Pop (anybody remember that?) or finding one of those metal baskets used to pop it over an open fire. This one is easy—use non-flavored popcorn and add yer own butter!  Read more 

[I just consolidated Xan’s post and mine. There are two explanations for any state of human affairs: Fuck up, and conspiracy. Xan says Fuck up, I say conspiracy.]

Xan: It’s a Fuckup
Displaying the immense grasp of the intricacies of geopolitics for which He has been recognized worldwide, the near-omnipotent subtlety of thought, Dear Leader solves the Middle East’s current crisis. My God, why were we not blessed with his wisdom long ago?

”See the irony is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s—- and it’s over,” Bush told Blair as he chewed on a buttered roll.  Read more
