Enthusiasm?

A new Gallup poll measures the enthusiasm of each presidential candidate’s supporters.

Put a bird on it!

At a Bernie Sanders rally in Portland, Oregon, a small bird lands on the stage and then flies directly up to the podium in full view of the cheering crowd. Hard to tell, but it is either a female sparrow or a goldfinch.

Double Standard

© Matt Bors After winning Iowa, Hillary Clinton was criticized for shouting too much. Even Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, said “She shouts. There is something unrelaxed about the way she is communicating.” Are you kidding me?
