I'm old enough to remember Paul Wellstone's death, and how Republicans led the dumbest pundit dickheads in a round of schoolmarm scolding after liberals celebrated Paul's life in partisan terms. All I can say is: Get over it. This is how we should pay respects to one of our own: Partisan as fuck.

I figured, but just making sure! I hope something like this happens.

(3) After the failure of One Eyed Jacks, Brando was pretty open about mostly taking roles for money, and then mostly treating those roles with contempt. You can think that’s cool or not, but it has nothing to do with his training.

Bob, just checking to make sure — you’ve read Isaac’s book, right?

Went deep on what people are saying and the only things that are particularly impressive imo are Joy Division and Sinead 1987.

RJ! It’s…spacious here, but I miss having somewhere to shoot the breeze.

And this is so obnoxious because actual-politics is kind of a fucking layup right now.

Your opponents are running a historically corrupt government.

Be anti-corruption. Run on fixing the shit they broke, holding assholes accountable, and improving people’s lives.

Duh.

It’s a slogan for political operatives who think campaigns are won and lost based on placards and stump speeches.

It tells no story. It has no anchor in the actual world we actually live in. It is a type of politics that eschews being actually political at all.

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is absolutely the type of slogan that a focus group of swing voters will tell you they find appealing after it has been a whole hour and they just want to go home.

It’s a slogan for people convinced this country *really* wants a Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign.
