Welcome to The Now

These girls are way too happy ; I'm pretty sure the twist is that they're living in a zombie apocalypse.  About that white privilege ... Her name is Latasha Harlins ... Save more on gas by ... "We have elected a man who knows nothing about everything, and everything about nothing ."

"Diversity" is just an old, wooden ship. At least in Florida .

Bill O'Reilly, who not too long ago was pushing Pepsi to be boycotted for featuring a "man who degrades women" (Ludacris) , has been let go by Fox News . Please note that this is not a story about a good person unfairly targeted by gold-digging women .

Earlier this week I was greeted by an email (that everyone who signs up with his list receives) from Senator Chuck Schumer. It goes like this: I'm going to say something you might not have heard from many Democrats in the past few months: I'm feeling good. Recently, while I watched the Kansas House election, I was reminded of just how fired up Democrats are at this point in time. In a state that President Trump overwhelmingly won (by 31 points), I watched as James Thompson -- a populist Democrat -- organized a movement to take back his state. In the end, the Republican candidate squeaked by only after everyone from Donald Trump to Mike Pence and Ted Cruz had to help campaign. This is huge. We can't ignore it. Democrats are, in the words of Brooklyn resident Beyoncé, getting in formation. We are pushing back and we have the GOP back on their heels. We are showing our fight -- and I don't expect it to stop. But the momentum is only going to keep going if every...

So we see here that the GOP just loves it when Republican President Donald Trump decides to get all bomb-droppy, but when Obama was thinking about it, the opinion was vastly different: The Washington Post follows up on this , lest we think that the previous President's part affiliation (or race) wasn't really a factor: There was actually another Washington Post-ABC News poll that tested views of what the United States should do in response to Syria using chemical weapons. It came  in December 2012  —  before  the 2013 chemical weapons attack. It was a hypothetical. The question: “What if the Syrian government uses chemical weapons against its people? In that case would you support or oppose U.S. military involvement in Syria?” In response to this question, fully 67 percent of Republicans said they would support military involvement.

...and it makes sense that college tuition is reduced or even free as we go forward. So congrats to New York , (even though this is certainly a power move for Cuomo to position himself as a 2020 presidential candidate). Especially since companies like Navient is making a killing approving loans to students they have no business approving .

The same "intelligence community" that labeled Martin Luther King, Jr., a terrorist, said that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and decided to announce an investigation into a presidential candidate in the middle of a presidential election wants you to believe that a country most people barely paid attention too six months ago is suddenly the latest "nation in need of our help." The same politicians who ignore African-American boys being shot by police, African-American girls disappearing in D.C., dirty water in Flint, Michigan, protesters of oil pipelines getting beat up in the mid-West...are now crying over pictures of Syrians instead of asking if those pictures are real or even dated. A president who mocked his predecessor for considering military action against Syria and then leaving for the weekend has taken military action against Syria and then left for the weekend. The media, who not too long ago made calling this president a Russian collaborator a...

I think I'll just write about the first, mid-season and final episode of the TV shows I watch, staring with The Walking Dead (SPOILERS!!!): The tiger Shiva is well-trained, ain't she?  I like Eugene as the works-for-the-bad-guys-yet-sympathizes-with-the-good-guys guy. He's really too smart and cowardly to be effective as anything else. Dwight apparently left a little toy soldier note for Darryl/Rick's group. How he figured anyone would find it right after the fight is anyone's guess.  Saw the Heapsters/Scavengers double-cross coming. Why? We never had a moment on the show where they showed any sympathy. Compare scenes with them to all the scenes with Dwight this season. I would have believed Negan more if he had threatened to kill Rosita or Aaron. Carl? Really? I've read some people complaining about how Michonne handled her fight with the Scavenger sniper. People tend to mix up her killing prowess with Carol; Michonne is awesome with walkers but with pe...
