I dont think ive seen her that incoherent, she might be a little buzzed even. "Keep your back straight and The Man can't ride ya!" .

I think we're all ignoring the possibility she is just very very stupid.

I've sat in there. They made us do it. One guy who refused to laugh was told he'd be asked to leave.

Just noticed that the article's been updated with a later statement from Walker:


NO THEY DON'T, SCOTT

THAT IS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE ISSUE HERE

Joementum posted:

Heh. I conflated his Facebook posts and Tweets with those of Aaron Schock's staffer who also had to resign this week.

Though it turns out that the Bush guy also published some stuff in college about how black people needed to "pull up their baggy pants", etc.

With regards to Walker, I just don't see how someone can run a presidential campaign when their home state has done so absolutely horrible economically under his leadership that they're considering missing a debt payment. Even if I was a Republican that liked all the other horrible things he's done, I can't see how someone could look at him and say, "yeah, I want that for the rest of the country." Plus the whole no-degree thing - how is this guy in any sense a viable candidate? Either one of those should make you a joke candidate.

Not to mention the fact that actual historians have sympathized with Chamberlain's decisions since the '50s, and a good chunk seem to agree that he made the right decision not to declare war in '38.

Even the students refer to it (or at least the one I knew did) as : "Liberty University - where you have none."

the first time I found myself in Lynchburg (don't even remember why I was ever there), I stood agape staring at that thing, wondering what city planner/land manager/whoever decided it would be ok for them to build that.

I went to high school with a few different people who were intelligent, well-adjusted teenagers who weren't super religious or conservative, but ended up going to Liberty because their crazy fundamentalist parents would only pay for college if they went to Liberty. Felt real bad for them

Predictably, every single second of the Rand Paul 2016 pre-(?)announcement video is hilarious.

There's a red outline of Rand on a black background with a white tie (please let this be the campaign logo), there's positive quote from Jon Stewart, Chris Matthews, Michael Steele, and Newt Gingrich (who I'm guessing will not appear in any other candidate videos), and there's the idea of the Detroit Free Enterprise Zone and all the other Randian nonsense. Definitely worth a watch.

It probably should though. A refreshingly honest and candid self-assessment would be great. You just need to make sure to run down other countries at the end. "...no matter how terrible we are, we're still better than everybody else. Thank you and goodnight." In the case of the US it has the advantage of being true.

Coping with the death of your child is extremely difficult and, at the time, what Santorum did was recommended practice according to the American Pregnancy Association.

It's weird and difficult to understand, but insulting Santorum for how he reacted to his dead child is extremely petty. Call him out on something else.
