Can we go back to bread chat for a second because:

change of opinion, most american bread ethiopian sourbread

second most american bread naan

Naan is awesome, especially if you throw some brisket or tri-tip and cheese on it. It's my go-to post BBQ sandwich bread.

The tallest peaks on each continent is something you're taught in geography class, who knows how many people retain that knowledge though

I'm pretty sure the only thing public education teaches you is the precise amount of late night cramming you have to do to retain information long enough to pass a standardized test the following day.

Isn't Jeb! going to be one of the first guests on Stephen Colbert's new show next week?

I bet Colbert is salivating. Make a Presidential candidate break down on the first week and he'll be set in ratings for life.

He's already apparently irked Colbert:

quote:

As we�ve previously reported, Jeb Bush is set to be one of the guests on Colbert�s first episode, but apparently that honor wasn�t enough for him. According to Deadline, he also wants to guarantee that he has at least one supporter in the audience by raffling off a ticket to the show. Bush reportedly sent out an e-mail this week saying that everyone who donates at least $3 to his campaign will have a chance to win a trip to New York, a ticket to the taping, and an opportunity to have dinner with him and one of his rich buddies.

However, Bush didn�t actually run any of this by Colbert, who released a video today announcing a raffle of his own. Like the Bush raffle, it costs $3 to enter, but instead of pocketing the money he�s donating it to the Yellow Ribbon Fund. The winner of Colbert�s raffle will also get a ticket to see the taping of the show, and they�ll get a chance to come up with one �non-obscene� question that Colbert can ask Bush. His suggestion: �Don�t you wish you�d consulted Stephen before you launched your contest?� You can enter to win Colbert�s raffle and/or donate at this link.

Should be a fun interview.

Trump's the front-runner and Vince can't even buy his wife a seat in congress. Titan Tower's probably ringing with the sound of Vince's insane carnie rage at this point.

Can we just give all the refuges one of the states nobody is taking care of? Like, I'm sure they could do a better job with Kansas than Brownback.

Wow, so I'm really out of the loop. I had no idea that Doug Elmendorf was already replaced as CBO director by a Bush economic adviser. The good news however, is that this guy, who was specifically chosen by Republicans because he would make their policies look better, seems on the level:

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/congressional-gop-cant-even-cook-the-books-properly#break

Maybe it was all needless worrying. Even if this guy was the most adamant supply-sider on the planet, it would probably still be pretty hard to fudge the numbers with all the other career bureaucrats at the CBO.

So how long until that guy gets branded a RINO and the GOP swap in some guy who will properly venerate St. Ronnie?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad of the day, �I think the founders of this country believed that states should be able to secede. They went together voluntarily, it�s a voluntary contract and they should leave. But, of course, that principle was destroyed with the Civil War.� ~ Ron Paul.

The thing I find hilarious is that the only states where secession is bandied about are, seemingly, the ones that would crash and burn the hardest without the federal government shoveling money into them.

Punch speech. But how well did that work out for Perry, who also swung hard at Trump?

Just you wait, next election Perry will show up with coke bottle glasses, a bow tie, and a pocket protector.

Holy poo poo that pharma CEO is an utterly shameless rear end in a top hat who sees nothing wrong with what he's doing and personally trolls his numerous critics using fake Twitter accounts that talk in "ghetto-speak."

This is what he looks like by the way.

How the gently caress does a 32 year old douchebag with the maturity and social skills of a 4channer become the CEO of a pharmaceutical company? Are his parents multi-trillionaires?

Sadly since he's an amoral sociopath and Hillary personally called him out today he's going to become a right-wing hero, so prepare yourselves for that.

Fun little side note to this dude: he just bought a professional gaming team. So, you know, making good investments with that money.

Team politics! Who gives a gently caress about rooting for some minor league team when you can root for the Dodgers instead.

The Dodgers win games and have amazing funding. This is more like rooting for the Diamondbacks-- once in a blue moon they bring down the Evil Empire (see: 2001 World Series), but more often than not they're struggling to cling to relevance on the back of the one star player they lucked into (see: the guy in my avatar, Paul Goldschmidt).
