Quote of the day, “Trickle down economics has failed. I short-handed this point the other day, so let me be absolutely clear about what I’ve been saying for a couple of decades. Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America and workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas. There are a growing number of businesses in our country showing what it means to be responsible corporate citizens. They’re paying workers a living wage instead of a poverty wage. They are investing in communities instead of hollowing them out. They are empowering workers instead of preventing them from organizing and joining unions to represent them. But we still don’t have enough who are doing all of that.” ~ Hillary Clinton, clarifying her previous 'you didn't build that'-style comments.

The logic is beaver tails look like fins so it's close enough. Now ask about how Benedictine monasteries eventually had special rooms where the Rule of St. Benedict didn't apply so they could eat whatever they wanted.

Possibly dumb question, but are federal judge appointments a particularly big deal? I mean, I presumed they were, but since we have a right-wing Supreme Court, won't they just simply nullify any liberal decisions that the lower courts pass?

The logic is beaver tails look like fins so it's close enough. Its actually about the Venetian monopoly on the salt trade and then avoiding paying taxes to the Ancien Regime. Beaver tail looks close enough so therefore we don't have to pay consumption taxes when eating beaver.

You are undoubtedly correct that these positions make me an unlikely candidate for membership in the DLC. That is why I am not currently, nor have I ever been, a member of the DLC. As I stated in my previous letter, I agreed to be listed as “100 to watch” by the DLC. That’s been the extent of my contact with them. It does appear that, without my knowledge, the DLC also listed me in their “New Democrat” directory. Because I agree that such a directory implies membership, I will be calling the DLC to have my name removed, and appreciate your having brought this fact to my attention.

Provided she doesn't turn around and go back to her Lean In feminist/economic neoliberalism pitch after she's in office Hillary Clinton has the greatest potential to be a 21st century FDR. By which I mean she's the most likely to broker exclusionary compromises to her legislative achievements in the name of pragmatism, further entrenching systemic inequity.

Sucks that everything would come in late, I suppose. Let me ask you this, what was the last close race for an executive office where Illinois waited until election day to count the votes? Or, what does everything coming in late do to the vote count in the one county who's turnout is paramount?
