The Two-Income Trap was why I want(ed) her to be president so much. She was a Republican and changed her mind when the data showed something different (in her case, bankruptcy statistics). We need a president who can go in with one conviction and when the data strongly doesn’t support it, will amend their views. It’s such a rare quality, but Liz demonstrated it

Laphroaig is excellent (and good for anti-Georgist memes), but give me Ardbeg so I can pretend to be superior to those who only discovered Islay scotch because of Ron Swanson.

Would it be correct to say the modern Lit Bro is the guy who takes blockbuster franchise films way too seriously? Can’t say if that is better or worse, but they’re a much less exotic and interesting species

This was funny. Merry Christmas

Worthy of a Steven Colbert monologue. Now if they would only make an Otaku Pillow with the image of Elizabeth Warren--as a senior, I might go for that . . .
