ドーナツダメ!

quote:

“I read his book, and I was just awed,” Mike says, referring to “Gifted Hands,” Carson’s book about his rise from impoverished child to world-famous brain surgeon, in which he describes a God who answered his every prayer, no matter how urgent or mundane — from taking away his anger to giving him exam answers to locating his passport. “He believes there’s a higher power.”

“He has to have a higher power to do what he does,” says Toni, who saw the movie version on a Christian TV channel. “Anybody would know that.”

I wonder if they know what apophenia is.

You guys acting like we don't have forums for anime, insane racist soldiers and gun nuts.

You're kind of kidding yourself if you think ADTRW and GIP are that level of bad. Yeah, you have idiots permeating them, but you generally don't get Reddit level poo poo without it being stamped out.

"Bro-kered Conven-tion!" *clap clap clapclapclap*

I want to see something like a mirror universe West Wing Season 6/7 convention where Walker or Kasich or one of the other fuckheads who already dropped just randomly throw their hat back in the ring after the first convention vote becomes a clusterfuck and fails to elect a nominee.

Nah, I've got two brothers in the Army (anecdotal, granted). They'd be just dandy with tossing all of the Muslims in America into internment camps. Most of the Marines I knew are the same way.

The Navy is probably the best of the bunch, and ironically the most effective at actually "defending" ARE FREEDUMS.

I'm trying to find the Pew article I read earlier in the year, but I believe it fell something like the most liberal branch was the Navy with a 48%/52% Lib/Con split and the worst was the Army with a 35%/65% split with the Air Force not far behind. Marines were surprisingly liberal mainly because there is a comparatively high percentage of minorities but still fell way behind the Navy.

Has Christie tried to defend the honor of- oh right I forgot he's a kids table candidate. Who cares. Also it's the primary, got to say the craziest poo poo.

Also also NPR has been saying something about Christie making noise in NH Primary. Does this matter?

I think it has to do with some major NH right-wing rag endorsing him. But to answer your question, no. No, it doesn't.

Local news is saying there's no confirmation this chase/shooting has anything to do with the earlier shooting.

It isn't even an apt comparison because we already have a Voldemort in Rick Scott.

Just popping in to tell everyone they should watch the new documentary on Netflix about the '68 Vidal/Buckley debates and the political landscape surrounding the GOP/Democratic conventions. It is fantastic (and depressing as hell considering this all happened 50 years ago).

I think you'll be surprised. Obama was bad for them but Hillary will be unbearable.

Yeah. The biggest difference is (as it has been said many times in this thread), Obama dislikes the GOP greatly for what they have done over his presidency. Clinton loving LOATHES them, and they know it. She is going to openly and gloriously poo poo on the GOP every chance she gets over the next 9 years.

Clinton ally David Brock (who is on the board of her SuperPAC Priorities USA) is preparing for a Ted Cruz nomination, and thinks him, not Rubio or Trump, will get the nomination.

Personally I still think it's Rubio, though I've become less confident recently

edit: looks like James Carville and maybe even Bill are also thinking Cruz

Wait. Carville is married to Mary Matalin? :tizzy:

What bothered me most about the debate last night (from both an ideological and linguistic perspective) was the resurgence of the phrase "hate us for our freedom(s)."

I get the primal urge to just punch something whenever I hear that loving phrase.
