I’m really glad that the historic candidacy of Hillary Clinton is (finally) leading to some discussion about sexism in America.

There’s an article going around by Josh Marshall titled “Trump & Putin. Yes, It’s Really a Thing“. People, including comedians, have made jokes about the seeming bromance between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. While it is scary enough that equal-opportunity-attacker Trump has nothing but good things to say about autocrat Putin, Marshall’s article points out […]

And following the meeting, many of them were described as ‘Democrats’.” – Conan O’Brien “Donald Trump is now saying the media took his praise of Saddam Hussein ‘out of context’.

Does anyone really believe that it is the job of political parties to be fair? It is the job of the political party to elect as many candidates from their party as possible. Nothing more. Why is the media holding the Democratic party to a different standard than other parties? Where are the leaked emails […]
There were many unscheduled events at the Republican convention, including plagiarism and speakers getting booed off the stage. But did you catch these? © Brian McFadden The cartoonist explains that he drew this comic before the convention started. Now that the Trump Show is over, how did reality compare to his satiric prediction?
[Jokes from July 6, 2016] “The Juno satellite probe which hasn’t been heard from in five years and has been traveling through deep space finally reached Jupiter yesterday and reestablished contact with Earth. The Jupiter satellite’s first message was, ‘The Republican Nominee is WHO?’” – Conan O’Brien “In a speech yesterday, Donald Trump praised Saddam […]
I must admit that I wasn’t paying too much attention to the VP selection contest, and so when Clinton announced Tim Kaine as her VP pick, I didn’t know much about him. I know that people say he’s boring, or that he is too moderate. So I took some time today to investigate. I might […]
Things you should read: Bernie Sanders live-tweeted during Trump’s acceptance speech at the RNC.

Jon Stewart can’t help himself, and takes over Stephen Colbert’s desk at the Late Show for a delicious rant: God I miss him.
The theme of the first night of the Republican national convention was “Make America Safe Again”. As Rudy Giuliani put it: The vast majority of Americans today do not feel safe. They fear for their children, they fear for themselves. They fear for our police officers, who are being targeted with a target on their […]
Tony Award winning actress Laura Benanti is brilliant as Melania Trump on Stephen Colbert’s Late Show: But plagiarism isn’t the only scandal around the potential first lady.

Leave it to Ted Cruz to stab GOP nominee Donald Trump in the back, while simultaneously eliminating any possibility that he will ever be president (or even the nominee). Well done, sir!
The Republican National Convention has been hacked by security researchers. This despite the fact that the GOP keeps hammering Hillary Clinton about the insecurity of her private email server. How did they do it? In this case, it was amazingly simple. They simply set up some WiFi access points. You know the same thing that […]
