Speaking of de Blasio, I just remembered the handful of idiotic op-eds from national publications around the time of the NYC mayoral primaries suggesting that Hillary Clinton should try to primary him... just the thought of it is hilarious

Obama's campaign got all of his primary opponents disqualified in the 1996 state Senate race.

In the 2004 race for the US Senate, his Republican opponent withdrew.

tl;dr Hillary Clinton was a few signatures and an Illinois sex scandal away from running against John McCain for president, 8 years before she couldn't beat Donald loving Trump.

Jeri Ryan divorced Jack Ryan after she got cast as Seven of Nine, officially because the whole "she works in CA, he works in IL" thing was too much for their marriage. Some really freaky poo poo came out during the proceedings, which were released to the general public a few months after Ryan won the 2004 Senate primary election. He stepped down and was replaced in the race by Alan Keyes; this left the Democratic candidate, one Barack Hussein Obama, as good as unopposed.

edit: the tl,dr is that star trek saved us from john mccain, but not from aatrek

27%. It's called the Keyes Constant.

EDIT: The guy who came up with the factor is the same guy who came up with this classic quote, BTW:

John Rogers posted:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

He was also part of the same club (albeit much earlier) that Cameron, Osborne and Boris were all part of at Oxford. You know, the one where David Cameron hosed A Dead Pig.

So there is a pretty high chance that David Dimbleby did something similar

In 1971, when Lt. William Calley Jr., who had led his platoon in the massacre of hundreds of unarmed civilians, including women, children and the elderly in the Vietnamese village of My Lai, was found guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced to life in prison, public outrage erupted across the country. Thousands of telegrams advocating clemency were sent to the White House, mass protests were held nationwide, a popular folk song was written and Georgia’s governor, Jimmy Carter, instituted American Fighting Man’s Day in solidarity with the convicted war criminal.

It's actually way more complicated than that. To quote wikipedia:

quote:

The modern Santa Claus grew out of traditions surrounding the historical Saint Nicholas (a fourth-century Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra), the British figure of Father Christmas and the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas (himself also based on Saint Nicholas)

Milligan's corpse was naked except for a pair of stockings and suspenders, with an electrical flex tied around his neck and a black bin liner over his head, with an orange segment in his mouth.

Milligan's death significantly contributed to ending John Major's "Back to Basics" policy initiative.[7] In an interview after Milligan's death, Major said that "What I suppose does seem as though it is probable: he must have been pretty unhappy, pretty miserable".[6][8]
