Thank you

well done!
One of the things I see every now and then is how our system is broken because two of the last five presidential elections have gone to people who lost the popular vote so obviously our democracy is being trampled under heel by men who have no real popular support.
My issues with this is that Al Gore and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote...

This is the Holmes Brothers version of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me." It's amazing
You'd think the Doctor would take some time to make a list for his companions titled "What to Watch Out For." Item one would be Daleks, obviously, since no matter how many times he wipes the salt shakers out of existence they're always there. Number two would be Cybermen, because they're really easy to spot with the whole "You will be assimilated" catchphrase and by...

So, one of my classes this semester deals with Congress and the legislative process. And to make that concept more exciting and entertaining to us young people, my professor has us do "Congressional simulations." We're on our first one right now, so no word yet if this is a good idea or a complete fucking disaster. Anyway, part of this whole experience is that we...

So I'm a bit late on this, but let's talk about the Justice League movie. Here is a handy roundup courtesy of CinemaBlend of all the rumors and what not that Warner Brothers has released so far. I think this a terrible idea actually, and I don't think it should happen, for lots of reason.
First is that DC doesn't have the success (critically or...

Awesome post man!
Something I've been thinking about lately is how badly does Mitt Romney want to be president? And it is it really worth it to win? After the Supreme Court upheld the ACA, Romney had the privilege of denouncing the very same thing he did in Massachusetts, which went unnoticed by absolutely no one. And then, he got hammered by the Wall Street Journal editorial page...

Just wanted to write my response to the election column on the front page today. (Holy shit is this a lot longer than I'd thought it would be)
The diagnosis that America is falling further behind due to a lack of social mobility, the destruction of the middle class, and under-regulated capitalism is all true. The charge that Republicans have no interest in solving these...
