2016 is just all wrong. I feel like I went to sleep at Thanksgiving and everything since then has been a dream. One day I shall wake up and it won't even be Christmas 2015 yet. This dream is surreal, and I'm really fed up of going everywhere in just my underwear.
Tonight's debate is not helping. Way too much surreal.
@5 no shit. Compared to Constant, Goldy, Dominic et al, we've got a bunch of teething infants in Baume, Frizzelle, and Smith. The incredible dumbing down of the Stranger/Slog is mind boggling.
Oh, I enjoyed Matt's commentary. I think a few people doing this would have added something to it though. It seems sadistic to have one staffer go it alone.
I thought Matt did a tiny bit better with this one. Although, I didn't get some of the references, and the links didn't help. Like Bravo Delta? What's that and what's with the link to gay blowjobs? I followed many of your links to figure out what you were talking about (since I couldn't get CNN to work). Let's just say, you didn't make it easy Matt.
- Rubio says Palestine is "acting in bad faith ... they teach their four year old children that killing Jews is a good thing." How does one respond to this kind of racism?
Um, well, if you're gonna get all serious... That statement is completely true. I mean, Palestine has some pretty good reasons for hating Israelis, and there's no question that what Israel is doing there is slow-motion genocide... But it is also a well-documented fact that there's Palestinian children's programming about how marvelous it is to die so long as you kill Jews while doing it. If you're gonna get serious, you should at least acknowledge that's a thing that happens.
@15: A bit of a difference between a dictator who butchers citizens by the millions and a group of people who have had their land stolen and fighting in a mutual war for the land, though, isn't there?
Especially when the people who stole the land are committing a genocide of their own. The fact that they happen to be Jewish is incidental.

Maybe it's not just the candidates who need to start acting like grown-ups.
