Let's say I don't really care about music at all, don't listen to it much. And I don't really care about Kanye West, nor listen to his music. But Kanye West is releasing a new album. And everybody is talking about it. And he's having a big concert, and all my friends are going. And he's going on Twitter tirades. And they're all signing up to Tidal or whatever.

I sign up and get the album, I follow him on Twitter, and buy tickets to the concert.

Because FOMO.

I know what some of these words mean.

Hillary makes a Star Wars reference in an email:

Pretty mediocre reference after Obamas solid geek culture record but I will take it.

Is anyone else crushed by the death of the Mellissa Harris Perry show like I am? Writing was on the wall after many weeks of it getting booted by election coverage, but still sad to hear it's official.

I really don't know what could replace that as an academic show look at the actual issue as they relate to real life humans.

I guess Democracy Now does that, but it's light on domestic issues, does a worse job at presenting the arguments of the other side, and is generally is hard to stay awake through.

Hopefully MHP will make a podcast or something to fill the void.


Not crushed, just disappointed. She's got a great position at WF and any channel would be happy to have her. I think Viceland would be a great place for her type of show.

I am going for the Frontrunner Sweep. Nate Cohn told me if she win CO+MN it means she's probably at 20+ nationally. The only ones in doubt for me are MN for Trump and Hillary, CO and OK for Hilary.

Democrats: Bernie destroys Hillary across the south as the south learns about the Hillary "bring them to heel video". Hillary simultaneously indicted by Ted Cruz.

Republicans: Rubio wins every state but Texas where he wins by so much he is given a new term: Rubiwin.
Trump attempts to fight him outside one of his casinos but loses after forgetting to kill two of his party members so Rubio sticks his hands in the ground.

doesn't the multiverse theory mean that there is a universe where this is actually happening

This NASCAR thing is really bizarre. I mean it's not actually the organization itself endorsing Trump but having your CEO and a bunch of drivers do it at one time sure looks like it's the organization doing it.

Have we ever seen a sports league endorse someone?

NASCAR is not a sport. It's driving in a circle.

But, I mean, I can't think of a time when it's happened. I mean...: insert joke about KKK/NASCAR overlap here :

Hillary wins everything besides MN and VT.

Trump wins everything but TX.

Both create mathematically impossibilities for their rivals to overcome.

Everyone gets a tank.

Vote early and often! Go back for seconds if you don't mind going to prison for voter fraud. Our queen will pardon you....after she pardons herself. It's all worked out. I talked to Huma about it.

Al Spaulding and Hulbert were the big wheels of the arch-conservative National League, and both were involved in Republican politics. I don't think they ever made a explicit statement as a league.
The city’s Republican political establishment, that Hulbert belonged to, feared the growing influence of immigrants and ever increasing labor disputes hindered growth in Chicago, both locally and nationally. Hulbert’s vision of the National League would eliminate the undesirable group of immigrants and working poor, and instead, he and the new cartel would provide the protestant, middle-class fan a sanitized and respectable diversion, and the ballpark would become an outpost of imagined Victorian ideals. Ultimately, Hulbert’s blueprint for a middle-class spectacle would make the National League the beacon of the white-collar baseball fan. These limitations would force the St. Louis Browns to pull out of the League after the 1877 season to have the freedom to serve beer to the large German population of their city.

The rival American Association played on Sundays, cost a quarter less for admission, and allowed beer at parks, stimulating the growth of baseball more than the National League could have done on its own.

It's interesting to see Fox go so hard against the media for painting Drumpf as racist over that David Duke thing.

They just can't help but take a shot at the mainstream media for being so quick at using the racist card, but Drumpf vs the Liberal Media is probably not what his opponents want to be the headline story going into Super Tuesday.

Les Moonves Terribles.

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," Moonves said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco, according to The Hollywood Reporter — perfectly distilling what media critics have long suspected was motivating the round-the-clock coverage of Trump's presidential bid.

The 2016 campaign is a "circus," he remarked, but "Donald's place in this election is a good thing."
"Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now? ... The money's rolling in and this is fun," Moonves went on. "I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

Oh goody, Trump repeated the bullshit General Pershing story at one of his Virginia rallies today and said the media is falsely claiming it's not a true story.
 
The stations will barely discuss the DEM primaries tonight, really. They know Trump is ratings, and just like they have the last month, focused on that only.

Ha yeah I just randomly put on Reilly and he is hammering the media for making an issue about the kkk....what?

Maybe I missed it but when a former KKK leader endorses a candidate it should be major news!

Nope just the mainstream media making a story out of nothing.

Now let's see what if a group like Hamas supporter Clinton...would that be news Bill?

You bet me that Rubio would get 1st place in South Carolina (In your defense, you made this bet before NH). I donated $50 to Ben if he did. If he lost, you would wear this fashionable Rubio boot avatar for one month:

Oh boy I made two avatar bets, I can't even remember who I bet to have this one. It's been a few weeks. I am going to have to share avatar duties here.
