Tis Halloween


Nats Win! But Even Better, The Astros Lose!

Blame Verlander!  0-2 in this Series is pretty fucking sweet, especially with Strasburg finishing 2-0.  It was good to see the Nats win, but even better to watch the fucking Astros lose.  Washington did get it done when they had to after the return to Houston.  It was the first time ever that a 7-game championship series went the distance without the home team winning a game.  Weird.  Thanks, Trump.

Kamala Harris Is So Fucking Sick Of All The Winning And Sick Of So Much Money

Gtfo, Kamala Harris Is A Cop.  You really do love to see such a vile reactionary shithead utterly failing on the national stage in the most humiliating fashion.  Harris is a truly awful person, and she deserves every single bit of the opprobrium being poured over head right now like a boiling rancid toxic slime.  She can't raise money, and complete idiots like Booty-gig are getting the right-wing establishment Dem affections.  Harris will be out long before the voting starts, and I trust the decent Dems know that she should be primaried right out of office in the next cycle.  Charlie Pierce is a fucking sad old washed-up dolt, as nasty and useless as all the rest of the grotesque reactionary KHive assholes like Armando Big Cuck Democrat Llorens.  Nobody needs a screaming petty fascist like Kamala Harris strutting around like some tin-pot dictator threatening parents and sucking up to scum like Steve Mnuchin.  She's failed, and we are better for it as a society.  Harris will never live this shame down.  Sad.  Thanks, Trump.

Chapo Have Some Fun Dragging Jordan Peterson

Chapo Trap House is not afraid of mercilessly fisking vile reactionary fuckface and fatuous moron Jordan Peterson on the YouTube tee vee.


Verlander Eats Shit Again In The World Series--And Strasburg Got It Done In Game 6

Stephen Strasburg is a fucking stud, and Verlander sucked donkey dick in yet another World Series start.  0-6 is pretty fucking impressive; Verlander's awesome futility is probably the only thing making America greater again.  Strasburg pitching a gem in a must-win Game 6 is just a bonus.

Kyrsten Sinema Is Every Bit As Awful As Expected In The Senate

Sen. Sinema is a craven political hack, but this is not a surprise.  At one time Kyrsten Sinema appeared to be a decent human who would be a fine representative in Congress.  That never happened, and now she is a fatuous reactionary tool.  I'm sure Mark Kelly will suck, too, but at least Kelly will be another L for the GOP.

Katie Hill Will Be Dressing Up As A Slutty Pumpkin For Halloween This Year

Wtaf?  This is almost too stupid to be believed.  Almost.  But what the fuck was she thinking?  She knew that these pictures had been posted online, so there was a decent chance they were coming out regardless as soon as some rando douchebag figured out who she was.  She knew she was having a titillating three-way relationship with her idiot husband and a very cute 22 year old female paid staffer.  She was also maybe having an affair with another staffer, a man, behind the back of her cute young girlfriend and her creepy bell-end looking motherfucker husband?  How did she think this was going to end well, especially after she dumps the cutie and the bell-end husband?  This is political malpractice by Katie Hill.  The fact that it was probably her loser dickhead husband who gave the naked pictures of Hill and the female staffer to right-wing websites, making the whole thing a fuck ton more tawdry and gross, does not alter the fact that Hill was wildly irresponsible and inappropriate with her personal and professional conduct in an incredibly public role as an elected member of Congress.  Jesus.  So she bailed.  Pelosi must be relieved.  And the insane teabaggers and the panty-sniffing fundie lunatic christians still love Trump who is a billion times more vile than Katie Hill could ever hope to be.

Gods Damn Nate Silver Is A Vile Little Toady Creep

What a grotesque boot-licker Nate Silver is.  A truly terrible little man.  There's never a piss bucket Nate won't dunk his ugly bald head into with a smile on his face.  Trump's a cancer on America's butthole and so is Nate Silver.

Now That Kamala Harris Is In Fifth Place In Her Home State, How Did This Tweet From Very Dumb Brother Terrell J. Starr Age?


Jesus fucking christ.  Terrell J. Starr is still gods-damned moron.  Kamala Harris is in fifth place in her own fucking state now, so after a year Not Very Smart Brother Starr looks like an even bigger idiot.  Nobody respects Kamala because she's a fucking cop, a fascist, a grotesque scumbag, and an absolute piece of shit.  Bernie is gonna win California, and Terrell J. Starr will be eating shit.  This Starr is the dude who calls himself "Russian Starr" and one of the shrinking number of Gossip Kids from the former Gawker empire, a self-styled Russia "expert" but he had no idea about anything having to do with Russia and the Soviet Union and the KGB and the GRU or anything else.  Starr is a fatuous neoliberal KHive blowhard dipshit.  Fucking brilliant.  Jesus.

Well, The Nats Are Fucked Now

The destiny bullshit is over for the Nationals now.  If the Nats could have taken one of the last two, well, they'd probably be favorites to win, but now in a three-game series they are fucked.  The fucking Astros are such scum that even Suzyn Waldman isn't having any World Series.  Can never count on Washington to get anything right.  Fuckers.  Thanks, Trump.

So, You Wanna Watch Larry Summers Turn Into A Nasty-Lookin Corn Cob?

Have at it, you sick fucks.  Holy fuckballs people like Larry Summers suck major ass.  Summers is the perfect fatuous Harvard gasbag, and it is somewhat gratifying that pretty much everyone else in the world who is not a screaming teabagger or libertarian or Obama Democrat or other strain of conservative is smarter than he is.  Summers is a favorite of the neoliberal Democratic Party establishment, and a hero of the failson lobby.  Larry was also one of the early signs of just how fucking shitty Barack Obama was going to be in office.  Sad.  Thanks, Trump.

Jesus, How Did I Miss This Cringeworthy Gibson Mark Agnesi Video

That was positively Trumpian.  Agnesi might have the same learning disabilities as Trump.  What the fuck is a Director of Brand Experience, anyway?  Sounds like something Harley-Davidson might have.  Does that person build guitars?  Do they work in QC, something Gibson really, really needs?  Seems like a pretty cringey job title.  Dude is a pretty shitty actor overall and should have stuck to his Guitar of the Day YouTube videos.  Gibson's quality control is almost as damaging as the union-busting right-wing douchebags who have owned the company one after another for generations.  Time to bring back the Norlin era.

Agnesi's signature Les Paul sounds about right, tho.

The Nats Tell Verlander To Eat Shit

Kurt Suzuki says hello.  You love to see fucking Verlander get fucked again in the playoffs and to watch the hometown paper lose their shit over his hilarious futility.  Verlander is 0-5 in the World Series now, and that's what may very well cost the Astros the Series this year.  Sad.  Thanks, Trump!

Holy Shit! The Serotta Forum Twits Are Grotesque Reactionary Bigots And Ignorant Transphobic Shitheads

Jesus frakking christ on toast, these overprivileged Serotta Forum twits suck major ass.  What fucking nasty, ignorant bastards they are.  White people are the absolute fucking worst.  Really, only that FlashUNC dude gets right in and calls the conservative shitheads out.  There's way too much transphobic bigotry and screaming conservative idiocy in the thread.  This Louis jerkoff is usually okay, but what a fucking fool he is on this topic.  So many fatuous reactionary fucktards like this Chris asshole.  Upper-class white guys are too stupid to live, but we know that already.  Another guy, jtbadge, comes in and stands up for sanity and decency, but that's not enough.  This Matthew doof is just a miserable, misgendering cocksucker.  An inbred revanchist shithead from Kentucky, speedevil, pukes up some inane horseshit for the benefit of the MAGAtards on the forum.  There's a bunch more conservative inanity thrown around in the thread, with a tiny bit of sanity thrown in, before this hateful dumbfuck, azrider, shows up to get the discussion back onto the arch-conservative insane bigotry track; supposedly azrider is a woman, but white women are every bit as toxic as white men, so fuck her.

There's no excuse for this fucking horseshit.  The Serotta Forum twits are the wealthiest people who have ever lived.  They have had lives of comfort and privilege handed to them with unlimited opportunities for growth and education in a safe, stable society mostly built on the backs of people who have no such luxuries, yet they are vulgarly, gleefully ignorant and nasty, small-minded bigots.  Rachel McKinnon is not undefeated in cycling; she's not dominating every level of competition in every cycling discipline.  How many other transgendered athletes are training and competing at the highest levels of any sport?  How many bugfuck ignorant Serotta Forum twits even have the first fucking clue what a trans person goes through during their transition?  Do they think it turns people into unstoppable competition machines?  There's plenty of cheating in cycling and every sport, but not that shit!  (Oldpotato is an okay guy, I think.)  It's an arduous and painful process.

There are a million reasons why someone else beat you on any given day.  Some people are just more talented, but mostly some people work harder and some get lucky.  Worrying about the one transgendered person in the field seems like a loser's tactic.  Race your race.  Train harder.  Focus on your goal.  Stop being a fucking shithead and bigot.  Don't be a reactionary.  Or a Republican.  Or a conservative.  Or a homophobe.  Or a transphobe.  Or a bigot.  Or a racist.  Or fucking Uday Donald Trump Jr.  Don't be a scumbag and criminal like Jack Brunk.  Don't be a typical creepy, simple-minded Serotta Forum twit.  Be better than those miserable motherfuckers.  Seriously, fuck them.  They are vile, hateful scum.

The NDP Underperforms In Canada And Fails To Deliver A PM Jagmeet Singh

PM Jagmeet Singh was not going to happen, but the NDP got crushed by the Bloc Quebecois and lost a metric fuck ton of seats.  Trudeau is a fucking douche, and it would have been fun to see Singh play a big role in a coalition government.  PM Singh would have been about the most entertaining and helpful development in gods-damned hemisphere.  Can you imagine Trump trying to stand up there with Singh at a photo op without pissing his pants?  Godsdammit.

Hillary's People Were--And Are--Comically Inept

Poor Jess McIntosh is hilariously vacant.  It's nice that Warren is tepidly in favor of some sort of fairly ineffectual health care reforms, more than most right-wing establishment Dems, but Jess McIntosh should stop going on the tee vee to embarrass herself when she fails to acknowledge that Bernie has been on this healthcare beat as a moral imperative for longer than McIntosh has been alive.  Hillary filled her campaign with idiots.

Excellent, Very Cool Rob Delaney Riffing On Loss, Sadness, Comedy, Tragedy, And Universal Healthcare

Rob Delaney seems like a cool guy.  And he's been absolutely fierce on this universal healthcare Medicare 4 All stuff.  I liked Catastrophe OK, but I don't miss it.

Another Solid Lyndsey Parker Piece For Yahoo Music, This Time On Kim Shattuck And The Muffs

Lyndsey Parker might be the only useful thing on Yahoo!  But this is another good music article from Parker covering some interesting music for the most generic cohort of potential readers on the internets, this time about Kim Shattuck and The Muffs finishing their final album. (Now we know why Kim was too much fight and energy for the elderly gentlemen in the Pixies Oldies Review Roadshow Band to handle.)  ALS is a bitch...

Dante Atkins Is Another Pustule On The Taint Of The Democratic Party

What a fucking dope.  Mrs. Atkins must be really ashamed of her son Dante.  He's a rancid weeping canker on the ass of our society and should be canceled immediately.  Not that David is any better; Mrs. Atkins was a shitty mother who raised some shitty fucking sons.

I do kinda enjoy that David Sirota lives rent-free in both of the Atkins brothers' otherwise empty little heads though.

Michael Moore's Speech Was One Of The Best Parts Of The Bernie Rally

Moore is really good at this shit now.  His speech was excellent.  Bernie TV!

Nate Silver: Shithead

Dragging Nate Silver is a truly all-American pastime.  Silver and his 538 outfit both suck AND blow in ways normal, sane people could never manage.  Sad.  Thanks, Trump.

Yep, The Yankees Needed That Game 2

Dammit. This was the year.  Gonna be much harder in 2020.  Too many strikeouts in the playoffs, but this season was the best chance they had to win it all.  But at least the Red Sox were humiliated this year.

Quality Bernie TV From AOC

A brilliant endorsement video from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez.


Armando Big Cuck Democrat Llorens Is A Deeply Stupid And Damaged Person

But, hey, he makes Dave Weigel look brilliant!  Armando "Big Cuck Democrat Not Daily Kos" Llorens is so fucking demented--and somehow, improbably, made worse by Hillary's fucking screaming insanity--that he is defending the addled syphilitic screeching of a woman who lost the easiest presidential in human history to a lardy moist orange manbaby and frail pathetic dotard.  Jesus.

Political Song for Mike Pence to Sing in Turkey


Yeah, Little Miss Lindsey Graham Voted Against Trump In The General In 2016

Amazing that Miss Lindsey could go from being such a mean bitch to Trump in 2016 to being his best girlfriend today.  I guess Southern belles are too delicate for principles, political or otherwise.

If You Need A Reminder That Hillbots Are Creepy And Dumb As Fuck--And All Love Warren Now

As if Wellesley and Harvard haven't suffered enough shame lately: Dawne Thorne.  Oh sweet jesus fucking christ, neolib establishment Dems are just vile.  These Hillary dead-enders will obliterate the Warren campaign if she somehow is the nominee.

Hillary Clinton Is An Idiot

What the fuck is the matter with that stupid old woman?  Tulsi is a dangerous--and quite conservative--weirdo, but Hillary is fucking demented and sees Russians everywhere.  Hey!  You lost to a lardy moist orange manbaby!  Get over yourself, Hillary.  Even Van Jones isn't that insane, and Van Jones is a fucking assclown.  The best thing Tulsi ever did was endorse Sanders in 2016.  It's been down hill for her ever since, but the Russia nonsense is deranged Hillary screeching. 

Yankees Win As Verlander Fucks Houston

Eat shit, Verlander.  The Astros had zero offense tonight, and the Yankees hit two home runs off Justin Verlander in the first, so Yankees win.  Tonight, at least.

Krystal Ball TV Is Having Fun With The Libs

Krystal Ball continues to be pretty good.  She's having fun kicking the neolib Dem establishment, so that's something.

Trump's Tertiary Syphilis Is The Only Thing Making America Greater Again

Trump is so fucking insane and senile that he makes Joe Biden seem stable and intelligent.  Whatever paltry intellect Trump once possessed, that shit is gone now, and it's time to flush that senile racist asshole into the cesspool of history.  The cabinet shouldn't wait for the impeachment trial or the 2020 election.  Kamala Harris Is A Cop was right about one thing: Dude's gotta go.

Jim Cramer's Support For Elizabeth Warren Is The Worst Thing To Happen To Warren

CNBC's Jim Cramer redefines fatuous.  The fact that Cramer is all about Warren should be a huge red flag for anyone and everyone.  This is a huge reason to not support Warren.

Ilhan Omar Is The Best

Great endorsement for Bernie from Rep. Omar.  She's def the best member of the House right now and would be a great POTUS.

Bill O'Reilly Took The Falafel Out Of His Ass Long Enough To Be A Fucking Shithead

Sadly, Bill O'Reilly is still around, but he's as big an asshole as ever.  O'Reilly will always be one of the biggest idiots on the fucking planet.

Fatuous 21st Century Soviet Union "Expert" And Not Very Smart Brother Terrell J. Starr Had A Normal Debate Night

That's just fucking sad.  Starr is the idiot who got brutalized because he pretends to be a Russian expert but kept calling Russia the Soviet Union; he's a loyal KHive stan, but jesus fucking christ he's an imbecile.

Marcos DailyKos Can Only Hope To Be A Corn Cob

You mad, bro?  The thread explodes into a party where everyone pours boiling bear shit all over Kos just cuz it's so fucking easy.  Sad.  Thank, Trump.

Bernie Gets The Endorsements Of AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib

Making a great night for Bernie so much better.  AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib will formally endorse Bernie, with AOC at least appearing at Bernie's big rally in Queens this weekend.  Excellent news for Bernie after a fantastic debate performance

Where The Fuck Is Bernie In The Second Hour!!??

Bernie was having a great debate in the first chunk, so CNN has frozen him out in the second hour.  It's pretty fucking blatant behavior.  But Bernie comes back and obliterates CNN on the question of health.  Erin Burnett is a fucking turbo cunt, btw.

Bernie Is A Raging Righteous Kaiju And Warren Looks Awful Tonight

Sanders in on fire.  He's smacking everyone around over health care and jobs, while Warren looks apprehensive and off-balance, probably because she's trying not to say anything that might come back to bite her.  Bernie is pretty clearly telling everyone that their health care costs will go down, and damn right that there will be more than enough jobs for everyone who wants one.  Warren is pivoting very clumsily to her plans and her stump speech too often.  Whoever told her to not say anything is a fucking idiot.  Bernie, si!  Warren, no!

Biden has been pretty frisky during this first hour of the debate, but he was the last time out as well, and by the end he was sundowning into a fog of inanity.  

Booty-gig is a fucking dipshit, a creepy, creepy dipshit; Yang is a libertarian cocksucker; Klobuchar is a fucking whiny bitch; Tulsi needs to go; Booker is a chump; Steyer is just fucking useless; Kamala Harris is a fucking cop; both Beto and Castro rate a "Who?" at this point.

Eddy Merckx Goes Down

Dude, be careful!  That's not the way Eddy Effing Merckx should go, atmo; the Cannibal needs to keep the rubber side down at his age.  Def not wearing a helmet, either, especially since the crash was described as happening when he was out with friends.

Harold Bloom Can Finally Be Fired Out Of The Western Cannon

Long overdue.  There's nothing quite like the elite academic sinecure.  Harold Bloom may have had his use back in the 1950s, but his last lasting contribution was 60 fucking years ago, and in glorious fashion, he lingered way past the time when he was a parody of himself.  Elitism rocks.  (Though he was right about David Foster Wallace, so...)

Some Bernie TV From Michael Brooks


Elizabeth Warren Might Have Untapped Appeal To Racists And Bigots

Warren should probably be better at this.  If the assclowns at the Washington Examiner can find it, you gotta figure the rest of the teabagging fuckface can find it too.  Another unforced error by the campaign of the former GOP stalwart.

Jude And Susan And Rock And Fucking Roll


If Bernie Dropped Out Tomorrow, All These Conservative Neolib Assholes Like Rich Benjamin Would Drop Warren Like A Hot Rock

This pathetic attempt to use Warren as a cudgel against Bernie was obvious last spring as soon as it was apparent that Biden wasn't going to stop Bernie and that Warren wouldn't collapse due to an inability to raise money.  In reality, none of the conservative establishment Dems have any use for Warren, but they fucking hate Sanders and the idea of Sanders and Sanders supporters and working class people and poor people and everyone else not at Maggie Haberman's or David Brooks' next cocktail party in celebration of a new George W. "Retardboy" Bush hagiography by Michelle Obama.  If their dumb plans are successful, Warren very suddenly will find herself without a friend in the Democratic Party. 

Goodness Gracious, Sr. Garbage Ape Has Been Kicking Some Major Ass On Elizabeth Warren

Sr. Garbage Ape might not get it 100% of the time, atmo, but when he's right, he's fucking brutal.  I think it's possible Warren can feel the brittleness and insincerity behind her establishment support, and instead of making her pissed off, it's making her panic and turn into Obama before she's accomplished her mission of eliminating Bernie.  That's not a good look for her, and it might just kill her VP chances when Bernie wins the nomination.  Sad.  Thanks, Trump.

The Media Misunderstand Bernie On Purpose

Are the media willfully ignoring Bernie or too stupid to understand or too privileged to care?  Why not all three?  Certainly Nathan Robinson is correct when he says that the media pundits do misunderstand Bernie, but it is also clearly true that the media in general are pretty fucking clueless about class and race and economics in the United States in 2019 and have done their best to make Bernie a non-entity in the primary.  Every pundit and every anchor and every executive is a comfortable idiot, so some of them don't get Bernie, and the sharper ones are scared shitless of him and hate him.  If Bernie gets his people out to vote, well, the elite media as a whole are in for a very rude shock.

Glorious, Big Beautiful Fisking Of George W. Bush By Jeffrey St. Clair

Oof. George W. "Retardboy" Bush gets canceled.  Jesus frakking christ.  St. Clair takes aim and then unloads a fusillade of exceptional American opprobrium all over Bush's head.  St. Clair gets in plenty of brutal shots at the rest of that grotesque family as well, especially Bush's vile mother Barbara.  Real good fun.  Moar!

Are The Kurds The Dumbest Motherfuckers On Earth?

You fucked up, you trusted us.  Now will the Kurds quit being fucking chumps and treat the Americans as fucking enemies to be fought to the last man?  Every fucking time we betray the Kurds and leave them to be slaughtered.  Trump didn't invent this, but he is the latest American president to abandon the Kurdish people as they fight for independence and autonomy.  Thanks, Trump!

Justin Verlander Probably Cost The Astros Their Season

Heh, indeedy.  If the Astros lose tomorrow, the thing they should do immediately before firing A.J. Hinch for letting a dumbfuck like Verlander manage the fucking team in a championship series is kick Verlander square in the nuts a few times.  Then fire Hinch for being a bigger morn than Verlander.  We can only hope.

'Enola Gay' Is Discount Midge Ure-Era Ultravox

Or I suppose you could argue that Midge Ure-era Ultravox is discount OMD, but what's the fucking point.


'If You Leave' Is Definitely Discount Roxy Music

Especially that sax part.  Bryan Ferry should be pissed.  He should be extra pissed that song is too fucking long.


How Do You Prefer Your Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark?

Discount Roxy Music or discount Ultravox?  This is a pretty good really good interview of OMD's Andy McCluskey by Lindsey Parker at Yahoo Music.  I, for one, had no idea OMD was back, and I had never heard of those silly pop groups he developed.  I am not what you would call an OMD stan.  But McCluskey sounds like fun.

Amy Klobuchar's Q3 Fundraising Sucked Major Ass--Drop Out Now

Fuck her.  Amy Klobuchar is an arch-conservative, neoliberal piece of shit, and her Q3 fundraising was fucking pathetic.  She's not gonna be the nominee, and she is a grotesque right-wing corporatist Dem.  Primary this bitch in her next Senate race.  Christ.  She's a fucking nightmare.

The syphilitic magatards are losing their shit over this impeachment talk.  Clearly Oath Keepers Number 3 dipshit is working his high-IQ galaxy brain genius powers night and day to save Trump from the deep state libtard commie Democrat faggots.  His imaginary Mexican wife is probably oiling his mighty gun right now!  OK #3 guntard pussy will wield his awesome metal tool in defense of Donald Trump's comically tiny, misshapen wiener tool because FREEDUMB!

Holy Shit, Anand Giridharadas Is A Fucking Snowflake

Don't be such a pussy, man.  That's just fucking weak. Giridharadas needs to grow a pair real fucking quick and realize everything is not about him.  He's not his mama's special smart and handsome boy anymore.  Nobody was even going to drag him for that fabulous leather jacket schtick he rocks in that video, but I guess we should now.  That jacket is goofy as fuck and makes him look like a  thirsty Village People cosplayer.  But fabulous.  Man up, dude.  And get some fucking big boy clothes.  Learn how to dress yourself finally.  Fucking candyass.

The Proper Word To Describe Matt Forney Is Incel--Incel Is What Matt Forney Is

Incel is the word, Virag. Incel.  Yes, fat Matt Forney, bald Matt Forney, creepy Matt Forney, chronic masturbator Matt Forney, lardy weak Nazi Matt Forney, frail loser Matt Forney is an incel.  Incel.

Forney is apparently not dead and somehow managing to suck and blow harder than anyone ever while maintaining his status of the most pathetic incel on the planet.  Sad.  Thanks, Trump!

Oh, Shit, Kim Shattuck Died

Terrible news.  Kim Shattuck had forged a pretty great career in music in The Muffs and beyond, and she was the best thing about the Pixies in their oldies-act dotage for way too short of a time.  There's a new Muffs record coming out soon, too.  RIP Big Bird.

Bernie Is No Dick Cheney

The sudden, unexpected cardiac emergency couldn't have come at a better time for Bernie.  If this had been in January or February, well, he'd be all done.  But if he comes back 100% from this, he will have plenty of time to prove himself, especially once Biden is out.  Besides the timing, the best news for Bernie is the Trump meltdown over impeachment is so fucking epic that much of the other news is getting drowned out.  Sanders was also able to finish the big fundraising Q3 with the second-biggest haul of the campaign on the very last day.  If he'd become ill on Sept. 28, well, that might not have happened.

If he's 100%, Bernie can lean into this episode as even more of a reason why the US needs a proper universal healthcare system like Medicare for All.  That's great political showmanship that will only look better when Biden is gone from the race.

Dick Cheney had a defective heart his hole life, and that did not stop him from being the worst president in American history even though he was only elected as a vice president.  The key for Bernie is how well and how quickly he can come back from this.  His health scare also makes it more likely Warren will not turn down an offer of being the next VP.  It's a cruel calculation, but if she is unelectable/unable to beat Bernie, well, she knows she will be POTUS at some point, sooner or later.

Splinter Brutalized Right-Wing Neoliberal Asshole Chris Coons

Coons is as big a piece of shit as Joe Lieberman.  Christine O'Donnell at least would have been way more entertaining as she spouted right-wing lunacy.  Coons just sucks major ass.  Good job by Splinter for getting this shit out there.  Coons is a fucking problem.
