At this point the polls are interesting but meaningless. It's not yet Game of Thrones time.

Obama and his people thoroughly dislike Hillary and I wouldn't be surprised to see them start quietly leaking her emails and other damaging stuff to the NYT that will wound her even before the primary season begins. Watch for Warren and a Dark Horse Yet to be Named who will make that race fun to watch.

Fox News was invented to scare nasty old white men with money. It works. You can see it's already scared the shit out of Boiler.

Be nice to have a good news source.

Yes. Fox News scares me too. So does RT, which I watch to get the real news, the Telegraph and the Guardian to get a balance of the news - sometimes the Beeb for a real left slant.

It's why I mostly listen to Party FM now in the car versus NPR. And really, do we see this election as anything that will really change the course of the direction the USA is going in?

Hillary or Marco Rubio? The only true change of course would be a candidate that isn't owned by business interests. If such a candidate was elected, they would soon be owned by business interests. I fail to see what the fuss is about.

Cable?

Bit last night, nearly melted out today.

Hard to see that happening any time soon given the scope and level of fundraising for campaigns. :(

aaaand Pataki makes it official.

Give it two more months and the number of GOP runners will be in the triple digits.

As quickly as the GOP field has grown, I suspect it will shrink just as quickly...

What the ****ity ding-dong is that guy smoking anyway?

From a practical standpoint, surely his hypothetical 'daughter-meets-tranny-in-the-bathroom' situation is no different to the fact that I have to take my daughter into the gents' when we're out shopping because she can't wipe her own arse yet? In there, there are blokes pissing against the wall, for crying out loud ...
