September 1994 Update

Some comments from people who have been hassled and abused at Trump rallies: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/get-him-out-racial-tensions-explode-at-donald-trumps-rallies/2016/03/11/b9764884-e6ee-11e5-bc08-3e03a5b41910_story.html?tid=pm_politics_pop_b

Happy birthday to her. I still wish they could bring Dolly back.

This is the face of a Trump supporter, and a face of today's GOP in general: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/john-mcgraw-protester-kill-him-next-time

I can't help wishing I could vote for Viola Davis...

Those tag lines are like a Youtube parody video. The "wifetime achievement" made my jaw drop.

The main reason people said that about Kim is because she herself pretty much said she didn't. She was reluctant to participate, reluctant to have her kids involved, etc. There's nothing wrong with that, but it set up her narrative - she doesn't want to be there, and it shows. Beyond the beef with Kenya (which everyone, aside from Kandi, ends up doing at one point or another), that's been pretty much it for her.

It's also racist, and the whole Hubbard/Fox mess has had a strong tinge of racism (to me anyway). I just wish they'd scrap most of this. Denise and Patrick deserve better.

Carson seems nice because he's soft-spoken, but the whole National Prayer Breakfast ambush he did with Obama always seemed disrespectful to me, and tacky. He's also, IMO, completely nuts. Beyond that, I'd guess it's down to Cruz. He has never forgiven Cruz for telling Carson supporters before the Iowa caucuses that Carson was going to drop out.

Thank you. Matthew looked a lot like Norman Reedus. I wish I could see Dorothy on this show.

But don't you know...Jordan is evil because it's "in the blood." (unless you're a Carter or a Mitchell, of course)

This type of thing always makes me laugh: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/10/the-budding-bromance-between-president-obama-and-canadas-justin-trudeau-in-11-great-pictures/ Barring some big shifts over the next 9 months, it looks like Obama will probably be leaving office with a much better legacy than W and, while he won't be as popular as Clinton, he likely also won't have a huge ugly pardoning scandal clouding his last days. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/barack-obama-approval-ratings-hit-three-year-high-220569 It's telling that the right wing press only has nonsense like "he didn't go to Nancy Reagan's funeral" to use as fodder. The best thing to happen with Obama is when he stopped giving a sh!t and even started outright trolling these jackasses. While it wouldn't work for every President, it worked for him, and it certainly worked for me. Of course one could say the party itself lost a lot under him, but I think the party is stagnant and inept as a whole and has been since the '70s or '80s.

Terrifying and yet completely unsurprising. http://www.salon.com/2016/03/08/texas_war_on_reality_states_next_likely_school_board_member_believes_obama_was_a_drug_addicted_gay_prostitute/

Leak looks so old there. Odd photo.

She only wanted to marry Nikhil because it was the "right" thing to do. Sadly, her feelings for Jai have been horribly consistent. If Rik had wanted to stay I do wonder if she would have fallen for Nikhil.

It looks like some of the establishment are now backing Cruz to stop Trump, which is truly pathetic. Cruz will actually be more dangerous to them long term than Trump, as even though Trump is dangerous and deranged, he will probably get more voters and help downticket. Media darling Marco's slow downfall - I haven't enjoyed hubris this much on the far right since T-Paw the "blue-collar" "Sam's Club Republican" punked out after one debate. And yes, clearly someone realized way too late that someone who was supposed to be respectable getting onstage and gossiping about Trump having tiny meat was a very, very bad idea. This is especially satisfying: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/cnn-rubio-florida-empty-stadium

After hitting Hillary relentlessly on her support for free trade, Sanders wins Michigan in an upset. While it doesn't change the result long term (Hillary will still win the nomination), it makes me even more nervous about what someone like Trump will do in November. He could easily use the same lines and win Michigan.

No problem. That channel has various others too (Phil Carey, Erika, Strasser, RSW). I just noticed the JDP first as I thought you'd enjoy them. It's bittersweet as that came around not long before JFP took a hatchet to the character...

Good news for sane people in Kentucky - the Democrats have managed to keep their razor-thin majority in the state house, for now. http://www.whas11.com/news/politics/elections/kentucky-special-election-results/74105658

I hope he stays on, but it seems like 3 seasons is the exit for most Doctors on the new show, aside from Eccleston. I'm surprised he's so open about it though.
