According to my browser, the word "trick" doesn't appear in that article. YMMV.

So your Evan McMullin is in striking distance in Utah, and just might take the state. And we all know, as goes Utah, so goes Idaho....

Boy, is this going to screw up Nate Silver's modeling.

Do you get the lucky opportunity to vote for or against the lovely guy who said he'd "think about" not voting for Trump is tape emerged of Trumpy saying, "I like to rape women"?

And before this, there was a possibility that NM going Johnson could have thrown the election to the House, which I would have enjoyed if only as a matter of interest to a person with a political science degree. I was working overtime on my NM people to help make that happen.

But that was a couple weeks ago when the national polling was tight. With Hillary up double digits, I think she'll take the electoral college pretty easily.

I would still love to see it go to the House, though.

No, but my congressman isn't much better. He's an embarrassment too. Mr. Chick enjoys going to his local town halls which draw predominantly an audience of people who think he sucks. But he stacks the Q&A with retirees asking about Social Security and Medicare.

My dream is Donald Trump coming in third.

The Republican leadership ought to just be happy he's likely too old to run again in 2000. Because Trump completely owns them in Republican primaries.

Next time they just have to worry about Peter Thiel.

And me. Those fuckers better worry about me. I'm a loose cannon and I like to grab a little you-know-what. 'Cuz I'm a star!

Here is some laid back Cymande. "Brother on the Slide." Today's Daily Dose:

And perhaps you can expose a greater audience to an evolution of your old theme: Blow Me For America. Perhaps: Blow Me To Make America Great Again.

That's right! His was unsolicited, women just came up and did it.

It's amazing the crap from this board that I can recall with almost photographic clarity, like how Chef used Q-tips to clean his ears, and the things I have forgotten.

In any case, I am sure that a Flower/Less ticket could compromise on a slogan.

ETA that I vaguely recall a reference to crusty Dockers, but I may be making that up. In any case, it's still way less gross than Trump.

I believe the full phrase was "unsolicited, no-strings-attached fellatio." People always focused on the "unsolicited" part, but for me, the magic is in the "no-stings-attached."

True dat. That is a lower bar than I intended to set.
