The State of Hawai’i doesn’t give out nifty “I voted” stickers, just the torn-off stub from the ballot. Economy! We had 20 (twenty!) City Charter Amendments and 2 State Constitutional Amendments to vote on in addition to the Federal offices. Annoyingly for those who’d prefer competition in politics, my State House District race was over …
Chris Pine as Leonard the Co-worker gives you several good reasons why you should vote Republicans out of office wherever you can:
Headline: If GOP Holds House, Clinton Investigations To Begin On Day One Jason Chaffetz, of the House Oversight Committee: It’s a target-rich environment. Even before we get to Day One, we’ve got two years’ worth of material already lined up. She has four years of history at the State Department, and it ain’t good. These …
It seems that the FBI’s Mr. Comey ignored his boss’s opinion and standing protocol when he sent that letter to Republican committee chairs yesterday. Even more infuriatingly, he and his agency hadn’t read any of those emails nor even gotten a warrant to do so before he sent it. Top Justice Department officials were described …
As if it weren’t enough that the GOP nominated Trump, a vulgarian who’s sadly uninformed about much of anything in the way of policy, it now seems they share his view of elections and democracy.

If the polls are accurate Trump has done real damage to his campaign in the last week or so. It’s kind of sad for Billy Bush that his passive behavior on that Access Hollywood tape was cause for termination by NBC and kind of startling that Trump’s active voice on that same tape was still …
I split my TV time between the AL Wild Card Game featuring the Blue Jays and the Orioles and the Pence – Kaine debate. About the game, it was exciting and I don’t understand why the losing manager left his best relief pitcher in the bullpen rather than use him in extra innings. Instead, he …
Read this Rolling Stone article about Trump’s performance last night and admire this paragraph. Jeb Lund explains how Trump got through the Republican primaries: Trump cut through over a dozen Republican candidates like an industrial saw shredding a box of Kleenex, and it couldn’t have happened to a more dismal gallery of frauds. After years …
I had pneumonia back in June working on the campaign and could barely get out of bed. How @HillaryClinton still campaigned is remarkable. — Austin Blumenfeld (@apblumenfeld) September 11, 2016 I will admit it might have been foolhardy to keep campaigning as hard as she has, but no American politician is going to sit at …
Secretary Clinton said something in a speech last night which caused the professional pearl-clutchers in the media to gasp and caused the Republicans to feign offense, saying she’d called their voters a bad thing. Here’s the text; you decide. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what …
