The story goes Jesus took our sins, died, and freed us from them by taking them with him to the sin vault or something. It's the whole sacrifice thing.

Shoulda gone into a Vault-Tec brand Vault. Safe and Secure!

They bootstrapped themselves into success, why can't you?

They joined a profession that has a literal cartel controlling the slim trickle of people allowed to enter it, forcing the supply to always be outstripped by demand. Contrast with lawyering, which has such a glut that in San Diego they were offering salaried lawyer jobs at less than minimum wage and overflowing with applicants.

He's asking how exactly do you go about selling programs like EBT to lawmakers, who first and foremost care about doing things they can put on campaign ads.
"Hmm, what looks good on a campaign ad? Maybe me literally feeding the destitute, giving back to my community or even a smiling child with a full belly?.... nah"

Also, I found it interesting that Miami is the location in FL instead of Key West which would've been my first guess.
Miami has gays and minorities.

Key West has Parrothead boomers who think drinking maragaritas while lounging on your boat and making sure there's never a whiff of progress so you can continue being a lovely 55-year old account manager wearing a Guy Harvey shirt and not think about how awful it must be not to be white, male and middle-aged.

His answers in his confrontational interviews so far have been fairly politically savvy.

He's had two high-profile interview tantrums. Claiming the media as one of Paul's strengths is flatly delusional.

That's why I offered my pithy response to the poster asserting Rand was anything but an empty suit with a brick of ramen painted black for a hairpiece.

I'm going to guess... Walker.

Walker would never threaten a corporation. I'll say Cruz.

I read someone making a point about all the "Women can't lead our country! What if she gets on her period and nukes Russia?" misogyny by pointing out that during menstruation, women's hormones are at their closest to the typical male levels. As such, using their logic, post-menopausal women like Hilary Clinton are the only people suitable to govern the United States.

That was Greg Giraldo's bit, and it's amazing. :rip:

I like how quickly forget how mind bogglingly terrible the Bush presidency was, and how much worse it could have been if they had done everything they wanted

Everyone was worried that Tom Wheeler's history would make him side with cable companies and telcos, but it looks like it left a bad taste in his mouth.

Maybe leaving a dingo as your babysitter isn't that bad if the dingo hates other dingos more than he loves eating babies

Reminder that Tom Wheeler ran a mom-and-pop dial-up ISP that AOL crowded out and used its regulatory capture to kill in the 80s. Wheeler is just paying providers back with interest. :legion:

I didn't realize that Daesh was now able to project outside of Iraq after having toppled the Iraqi government, which last I checked had less naval power than the US.

Literally every other country combined has less Naval power than the US.

My favorite semi-'Murrca fact is that the largest air force in the world is the USAF (big surprise), but the second-largest air force is the US Navy.
