Not from there, but ANYWHERE, I would think an anti-corruption platform would play well.

It's like charter schools.

When we had to feed organizers, leaders plus rank-and-filers we had to find something for:
vegans
crazy carnivores
actual gluten allergies
kosher
halal
my nonconsensual "goo" thing

Only tacos really got the job done.

This actually used to be a big joke with my organizers. I cannot stand non-consensual goo in food. Catered sandwiches are usually a disaster. My assistant and I came up with a lot of good catering solutions for conferences and organizing blitzes. We learned nobody complains about a taco bar!

Delicious and crispy happens through craft and experience, not the devil's condiment.

...with butter? Do you mean to tell me that there are people out there who use mayo as a skillet lubricant? This is disturbing.

Even among people who can *explain* the concept of parasocial relationships, this is often true!

The proud conservative tradition of making up a guy to get mad at.

Absolutely disgusting. To be avoided at all costs.

Never seen a dust jacket on Murphy.

With Trump about to try to fake economic stats, it's not very helpful for leftists to say they were already cooked. They're not. I follow this stuff very closely and have for years. They're very good and assembled by civil servants who take their jobs very seriously.

This will be a great location to conduct our "Truth and Reconciliation" trials.

Because some documentaries are too disturbing to enjoy.

All historians know the sinking feeling of tracking an "authoritative" reference back through several generations of writers to an unsourced assertion by someone nobody's ever heard of.

Now AI can make up new ones in no time at all.

I expect more from the human survivor characters in zombie movies than the zombies.

There have been, arguably, TWO good sequels in the history of ever.

American employees have enjoyed a long streak of record low firing rates.

In our 2 decades of data pre-pandemic, the smallest share of employees fired in any month was 1.1%, happened in just 2% of months.

Since Jan 2021, the share fired has been at or below 1.1% in 94% of months.
