In the book "The Invisible Bridge" by Rick Perlstein, he talked about how Reagan felt like he needed to do something to "shake up the race" and that Schweiker would reassure Republicans who were worried that Reagan was "too conservative" for the GOP. Reagan too Conserv...

I'm working from home today, and I've now tripped three times going up the stairs, due to my beloved but falling apart adidas sandals which I refuse to take off or throw away. If I don't check in every hour or so, someone call 911 because I'm probably out with a massive head injury. We got you, dog...

Can you actually do that, announcing your running mate when you haven't even won the nomination (and aren't even the front-runner)? I mean, I know you can , but is there any precedent at all? Man, Cruz is a fucking weirdo. desperation move to make it seem like he can still win the nomination. Or a ...

If Bernie gets beaten as badly as he's projected to tonight, does he drop out? There's been some signals that might be the case. Seems pretty shady to keep fundraising when his only chance of winning the nomination would be winning California by 75 percentage points. Not really, the funds can get p...

And Johnny Manziel can play right now while Josh Gordon is permabanned, which is hilarious. Gordon got fucked exponentially more than Brady.

Weiner is morbidly fascinating in that he seems more self-aware and candid than most politicians, but in ways that specifically make his situation worse. Great way of phrasing that. I used to like Weiner for standing up to FoxNews and the lies and mischaracterizations spread by the GOP Talking poin...

You mean like a former Republican Speaker of The House? Kind of amazing how that's managed to get swept under the rug. I'm honestly amazed by this as well. The media gave more press to Hillary and her hot sauce than this. It's disgusting. He got lucky on the timing. That, and he hasn't been in offi...

Not exactly surprising to me that a billionaire would consider supporting a candidate who believes what she's paid to believe. Absolutely, but it is still bizarre to watch that interview and agree with everything Koch said in describing how horrible Trump's rhetoric is, and how horrible Cruz is. Se...

Wow. I had no idea Jersey Mike's has so many locations (1000+ according to wiki). I knew they were national, but I guess I was being Jersey-centric in assuming they were smaller and just mostly around the home state. I didn't realize they were national. I had a bad Subway about a decade ago. Do the...

With it being mathematically impossible for Cruz to get the nomination in the first go, it's great to see Trump be all "whatevs" with the transgender bathroom law. It's making the GOP wig the fuck out. And it's glorious. This political party better go down in flames. I wish one journalist...

My parents should have killed me out of frustration.

Considering how test obsessed our district is, I was shocked that they didn't even get a 10 minute lesson on SAT specific strategies.
