Ugly man announces ugly woman as his choice for VP Ugly woman says ugly man will say anything to get elected, before she literally sings her praise of him. True beauty or lack of it is on the inside, of course.

Huffpost Sanders supporter asks the FBI nicely to indict Hillary

Oh dear, the guy is going to have an assissination attempt on him in the near future. The assassin will be of course a mentally ill Cruz-supporter who thinks that Trump has betrayed God and the constitution for his views on transexuals in the bathroom. //edit: I do smell a slight calculated move to appeal to Bernie supporters there. Question is will Trump continue his fight against globalism with continuing to producing his company's goods in Mexico and China? If he's sincere, yes. Trump's a businessman. Unfortunately due to NAFTA and some other 'free trade' agreements coupled with the taxes levied to support our massive 'welfare state' and a long list of costly regulations it's a no-brainer for many businesses (particularly manufacturing) to ship jobs to other countries. So much a no-brainer in many cases that it's either do that or die. I've spoken to a few folks at a couple different companies who were involved in the decision making process to close a plant in the US, and ship it overseas. While I've no doubt the proverbial heartless CEOs do exist aplenty, the folks I spoke with were torn in no small way at deciding to do what they did. They didn't want to send those jobs elsewhere, but to stay competitive in their business (or even in business at all) it was something that had to be done. I had one guy I sat next to on a flight who worked for a company that made fire extinguishers give me the math on the difference in cost to produce in China vs the cost to produce in California (where the company had been based for decades). This was years ago so I don't remember the exact numbers. but it was truly astounding how comparatively inexpensive it was to send parts to China to be assembled and then have the product shipped back to the U.S.. Another guy I know is the CEO of a more than 200 year old local company with an international presence that is the last in the U.S. to produce what they make. Their biggest competition is in China from companies that used to produce in the U.S., and his father (the former CEO) is often down in D.C. lobbying people in congress to change various 'free trade' policies so they can avoid closing their plant and moving operations overseas. They very much want to stay in the U.S. but I'm told that in the long run they may not be able to if current 'free trade' conditions persist. There's a lot of businessmen and businesses that are anti 'free trade', that ultimately end up shipping jobs overseas because of it. One of the greatest lies perpetrated on the people of various nations is that 'free trade' is good for them. Within a nation it certainly is, but internationally it has varying costs and benefits. It is not uncommon for the ultimate cons to far outweigh the pros, especially when one nation has a higher standard of living and greater labor costs than another. Historically and in modern times 'free trade' has generally only benefited the very upper class. The blue bloods, the robber barons, and oligarchs who have in modern times essentially bought and paid for most of the politicians at the national level of most if not all western nations. One thing I like about Trump, is he is one of the only people to ever run for President (or anything else on the national level) in the last few decades to even say 'free trade' is a problem, let alone the big one that it is. Most candidates have always bent down to worship the genitals of the 'free trade' oligarchs. It was the biggest problem I had with Ron Paul. A guy who I liked for his principles and philosophy, but who fell far short pragmatically on the two issues Trump has made the foundation of his platform: immigration and 'free trade'. Anyways, to sum up, good businessmen are going to do what is best for their business, whether they like it or not. Pragmatism rules the day in the business world. There are oodles of BS governmental rules, regulations, etc that benefit some business decisions and punish others. In short, the U.S. Federal government policies for many decades has created a business atmosphere where the smart business decision for many companies is to ship many jobs overseas. Just because they do so, doesn't mean they really wanted to, or agree with the government policies that created the situation that caused them to make the decision to send those jobs overseas.

Oh dear, the guy is going to have an assissination attempt on him in the near future. The assassin will be of course a mentally ill Cruz-supporter who thinks that Trump has betrayed God and the constitution for his views on transexuals in the bathroom. //edit: I do smell a slight calculated move to appeal to Bernie supporters there. While my jury is out on whether Trump is sincere or not, I have zero doubt there will be some very serious attempts to off him if he is. This is one of a few reasons I'm hoping he doesn't pick an establishment VP. I hope he's smarter than Reagan was.

Nice cover that is. Interesting take on a great original. I always thought Alphaville was a bit underrated.

A game that magically teaches millennials how to write properly.

If I was quoting you, I'd have done it. I got those odds from one of the links you had previously supplied or a site you had mentioned, I don't recall which one. You're the only person I've come across that puts stock in such things in regards to politics. I'd not have looked at betting odds on the U.S. Presidential Election (especially this far out) had you not brought them up.

I know you're fascinated with this stuff. However, I suggest tarot cards for a more probable accurate reading. Trump was 10:1 just a couple weeks ago (and I was considering finding a place to make a safe bet). 3:1, I'm not sure I want to risk the consequences of illegal gambling on the web (no bookie I know would touch those odds). If there was a way to 'sell short' on Hillary at those odds, I very possibly would.

Trump sweeps five more states, winning at least four of them with more than 50% of the vote. Clinton wins four states. Sanders one. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results Edit: Nice example of AP writers not understanding what 'sweep' means: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_2016_ELECTION_RDP?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-04-26-20-01-12 ... or they do, and it's just some blatant pro Clinton propaganda.

Can't say what it's like in Minnesota, but in the rest of the U.S. it's not that bad, and has nothing on the buttworship that went on for years after Kurt Cobain checked out. MTV, Rolling Stone, et al sucked his dead shaft dry, pumped it full of something and sucked it dry again, and again, and again. Also, it's somewhat ironic that you follow up the quoted with a song called 'Memphis', where the granddaddy of dead celebrity worship has his shrine.

Haha. Soul train was the shiz. But wait, there's more! Another way to look at it:

Poll: Trump Reaches 50 Percent Support Nationally for the First Time

And on the other side of the coin... Democrat Turnout Collapses Down More Than 4.5 Million, Nearly 20 Percent In 2016 Versus 2008

For cereal though, since we seem to be getting all Captain Crunchy. There is no such thing as the ideal woman, unless you want a robot. But I'd argue that's not really a woman. Live long enough, be surprised (both pleasantly and horrifically) a few times by women, and you'll realize and embrace the fact that the ideal woman is not an ideal woman.

You missed this:

Donald Trump Wins More Than 2 Million More Votes Than Mitt Romney in 2012 in States Voting So Far

It think it's one helluva a stretch to say he was digging deep. Yeah. I is not he. You quote me as if I was. Again, I think it's one helluva a stretch to say he was digging deep.

"I Want A New Woman" Yeah-eah! I want a new woman One that won't make me sick One that won't crash my car And likes to suck I want a new woman One that won't hurt my head One that won't make my mouth too dry Or make my eyes too red One that won't make me nervous Wondering what to do One that won't plot to kill me And be cool with me drinking beers with you I want a new woman One that won't shrill One that don't cost too much And doesn't mind the pill I want a new woman One that won't go away One that won't keep me up all night One that won't make me sleep all day One that won't make me nervous Wondering what to do One that won't plot to kill me And be cool with me drinking beers with you Drinking beers, with you... I want a new woman One that does what she should One that won't make me feel too bad One that likes to make me feel good I want a new woman One with no doubt One that won't talk too much And will never freak out. One that won't make me nervous Wondering what to do One that won't plot to kill me And be cool with me drinking beers with you Eh... I'm just gonna drink beers with you! - Vals 4/25/16 (Inspired by a musical mood while reading this post, and this great song).

It think it's one helluva a stretch to say he was digging deep.

A great tribute that brought a tear, and a great cover that brought some smiles:

First chick is gonna be fat. Second chick wears way too much makeup, especially for a woman her age. This is what your combo is going to look like, only blonde: And we've not even gotten into how crazy your ideal partner will probably will be. Enjoy!

There aren't any prominent republicans around to tell the children to stop messing around while the adults are talking? I mean actively having 'sabotage' as a strategy? I am now actively starting to believe that these two are in facts plants working for Trump, not against him, as there's no way people would like to vote, well sincerely that is, for someone that claims that their winning achievement is to make others fail. Um.. it's quite arguable that for decades now far more people go to the polls to vote against a candidate than for a candidate. The 'lesser of two evils' has been the name of the game for awhile now for lots of people, especially in national elections. While it's not that common for one of the major parties to eat their own frontrunner by painting them as a 'great evil' of sorts, it certainly has happened in the past to a number of candidates (e.g. Ned Lamont, David Duke). Basically whenever a non-establishment candidate wins in the polls. Trump is just the highest profiled one in recent memory to be targeted this way. All that said, Cruz, Kasich, and both the Republican and Democrat party establishment are total slime.

The only good reason to watch this show at this point methinks is for the eye candy.
