When he's willing to go out on a limb and say, "enough is enough", you know there may truly be something in the wind.

Today's Cheap Shots
I check in with Bill Maher every once in a while - and pretty much every time, I'm reminded why it was a good decision to drop cable.
- This was the first time a Dem got re-elected NJ Gov in 45 years
- This was the first time since Reagan that the party in the White House didn't lose both VA & NJ in their 1st term
- Democrats picked up a seat in Ohio
- Democrats won pretty big in Georgia - again
- Democrats won at the county level in a lot of places, including Virginia
- A Democrat won NYC Mayor
- and and and
Politics is a brick fight, dressed up and pretending to be a covered dish supper at church.
And there's no doubt the Dems got their nose bloodied, but this knee-jerk doom-n-gloom is the standard formulaic junk that the Press Poodles barf up on a regular basis. It's disingenuous and intellectually lazy. But it sells lotsa dick pills and tactical flashlights, so hey - it's all about the eyeballs, right?
The bean-counters are driving this bus, and they don't care if it's true or not - they're busy worrying about the analytics.

Money quote:
Bill Maher:
Democrats are "the party of choice" - we can choose not to completely fuck ourselves over this.

Last Nite's Bill
Katie Porter is one of the best things that's happened for the Dems in a very long time.
"If Democrats ever adopt a motto - and I really hope we don't - but if we do, it'll probably be something like: SOLVING YESTERDAY'S PROBLEMS TOMORROW - MAYBE".
New rules is pretty dumb tho - worth skipping.

More Sane People Have To Vote
New Rule - Bill Maher, last night:
...and tell your conservative friends that climate scientists are working with the Clintons to put chemicals into the air ducts at polling places that turn everyone who votes gay.

A New Term
Black Track
BTW - listen for the part where Nicole Wallace wants a Gitmo big enough to hold 2 billion people. Really, Nicole? You wanna grab all of our "enemies" and cram them into concentration camps? Then what do we do with 'em?
Maybe she got herself into a blind corner, but usually, when that happens, what you blurt - the things that just seem to fall outa your mouth - those are generally your true thoughts. Wallace comes off as "one of the reasonable ones", but I ain't buyin' that shit now. Not after that.

Both Sides
The centrist meme starts with a perfectly reasonable assumption that there're at least two sides of the story; that we need to be sure we're addressing questions from as wide a perspective as possible. All well and good, but it starts to fall apart when you take that next step and assume that ALL issues MUST have at least two sides (they don't), and that both points of view are ALWAYS valid (they aren't).
While Centrism has its uses, as a political philosophy, it's just intellectually lazy. It's a product of our need not to feel embarrassed because we supported the wrong candidates and causes; or because we aren't willing to do the work required of every good citizen in a democracy; or that we were just following a fashionable trend; or whatever.
To take just a piece of the argument, here's Bill Maher exposing the lie of "both sides do it".
