All the news going on this week and THIS is what Bok finds funny?

Okay, Lad. Why don't you pass the crayons to Payne and take next week off.

  Take it easy on Bok, I'm rather impressed that a grade schooler can get his cartoons syndicated.

Trump gets free media because he makes himself available. The Press can't say no.

This is why we can't have nice things.

"Why don't normal people run for president?

Can't we have some better choices?

Bloomberg Politics reported Tuesday that Kristol was looking at David French, a National Review writer and Harvard-educated constitutional lawyer who served in Iraq and earned a Bronze Star. French is almost completely unknown to the general public, but at first glance, anyone would regard him as the sort of accomplished, upstanding, idealistic citizen who ought to try his hand at electoral politics.

So what happened? Without anyone waiting for confirmation from French ?" without even waiting for Kristol to confirm that he was trying to persuade French to run ?" the Washington political establishment started digging for dirt."

  It's pretty safe to run for office if you have a "D" after your name. The press seems quite incurious about any baggage Democrats might have.
  1. Doctor Whom 10 years ago
    
    This. Once, a local Team-Blue politician was caught driving a car that turned out to have expired registration. A police spokespig said that there was no way at the time to determine the car's registration status. The press reported that as the most truly true truth ever, even though anyone who has ever owned a car knows what bullshit it is.

DJF 10 years ago

Trump? Trump, who is this Trump fellow?

If he was of any importance I am sure Reason Magazine would cover him and since they haven't, then I can safely ignore him.
Libertarian 10 years ago

Can't link the twitter pic, but I've just looked at some stoopid looking (Che shirts, tattoos on knees, etc)people who have been protesting Trump in California. If Hillary were smart (ha!) she'd be calling for these protests to stop. Not only would she look mature and rational (to some) but these freaking protesters are the best thing going for Trump right now.

OK, late again.

I don't get it. Awful, therefore, perfect.

Happy fucking Friday, Reasonoids. I hope you happen past a Trump rally by accident and are "necklaced" by a radical group of leftist protesters invisible to the media. Obama, Hillary and the press will blame Trump for the "protestors'" acts, but I blame Bush.

Also, fried chicken.
