    That damage is already done though.  What's the difference between 1.5 years of an assclown President and 4 years?  We are still a nation that elected a complete moron.  Nothing is going to take that away from us.  Ever.

    The difference is his hair-trigger approach to everything, perhaps including nuclear war.  The risk is too high.  But forget that for a moment -- think about the Americans who are galvanized by Trump.  Do you think they'd be in deep nearly so far with Pence?  I don't think that's possible.  He just isn't wired to fan the flames the same way Trump is.  I'll take my chances with Pence.

  2. I would LOVE to see Macca, but I'll wait until he hits COTA or ACL Moody and drop $200 per ticket instead of seeing nothing from several hundred yards away.  It's just not a good concert experience, unless you're there for the crowds (and I do know plenty of people love that aspect, so I'm not criticizing).

  3. I have never worked as a journalist, but I have served as editor of a couple of student newspapers.  Obviously, not the same thing, but if you think that journalists in general aren't among the most down-in-the-muck disgusting trash talkers then you are naive.  There isn't one thing she said in that bit that (a) was shocking to any journalist or (b) significantly worse than anything they had heard at that event in the past.

  4. I don't actually consider my music tastes as particularly old, but man, ACL is such a beating.  Outside of Royal Blood & Beck, I struggle to think of seriously great sets in the past few I've attended. 

    OK, Spoon, but that's an odd case for Austinites.

    It would seem very hard to obstruct justice for a crime that never happened! Witch Hunt!

    Um, Don?  It's entirely possible to obstruct justice by interfering with an investigation.  Guilt doesn't have to exist for the obstruction to occur.

  6. Love the part when Jill Stein knocks the crash cymbal off the stand, but manages to rescue it and put it back in place, because the crash cymbal is a big part of her conga vocal act.
