Anyone else have conservative friends going nuts on facebook about the Oatmeal comic about Ted Cruz saying Net Neutrality = Obamacare? Going nuts as in like "this comic is rad gently caress you Ted Cruz"? I think part of it is that they got spooked when Netflix stopped streaming awhile back and part of it is that they don't want anything more positive than the Holocaust compared to Obamacare, but still just kind of surprising in general.

Yeah Mitt really is the Republicans' best option, I don't think he had much of a chance in 2008 post GW Bush and against superstar Obama but after 8 years of supposedly-terrible Obama and that puffy documentary he would have MORE of a shot, at least. I don't think any of those other guys in the CNN poll have much of a chance, I mean J Bush or Christie I can sort of imagine but it's hard.

I mean he's [e: Christie's] clearly Nixonian-bordering-on-mobster and I think people will see that but after Bush winning in 2004 I'm forced to remain a touch agnostic about it. (I don't mean Bush was Nixonian I mean he was clearly in over his head and incompetent and at that point "I thought people would see that", too... the media is a little less pathetic than it was back then, though.) pangstrom fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Dec 2, 2014 |

I know everyone here hates Maher's show but has anyone noticed how bad his audiences are? Like, total hamster-pedal "he brought up something bad" stuff AND there are some conspicuously BIG laughers for some of his clunkers, like maybe that's their job and they need to tone it down a little because it's distracting.

He's is very much like Perry in the sense that as long as you have limited exposure to him he sounds like "common sense" conservative with the fake libertarian bent that is so popular these days but he will implode the second he is given enough time to talk to broad audience. edit: I'd drop the "plain stupid" for a few of them, I guess. pangstrom fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Mar 19, 2015 |

I'm not a baseball stats guy but how do you have a 200/200/200 slash line and a really good "Weighted Runs Created" stat? Is it just noisy because of a small sample or something?

He's a term-limited, unpopular governor who polls below Donald Trump nationally. (a few years ago but http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/11/bobby_jindals_political_appoin.html ) I'm sure oil is part of the picture, too, and yeah some small group of people still probably think he could be the Republican's Obama.

I have no idea what Trump's finances are but a lot of it has to be brand-relevant, so while he will die plenty-rich regardless this poo poo has got to hurt in terms of his future income.
