Dropping Like Flies

Anyone who so much as suggests a Democratic candidate other than Hillary should be taken out in the street and shot.

tark

Someone who wears emo glasses (glasses with thick, dark frames) and likes to be seen as artsy or intellectual. A tark's style of dress is often emo or scene (skinny jeans, converse sneakers, hair longer in the front than in the back), but some tarks, particularly older ones, may dress more conventionally. Most tarks are under the age of 30.

Just because Drew Carey stole Ira Glass's glasses, that doesn't make him a tark.

I don't get the timing….. next year is going to be election year… if you're going to suck up the Obama lame duck years why not stick it out and quit after the November 2016 election


i agree, also weird that there is no timetable yet for him to leave.  and why did they announce on a tuesday? although if he wanted to leave, maybe he thought now would be the perfect time so that someone else can get started for the new election



His contract is up in the fall and he's not renewing.

Jerry Tarkanian, legendary UNLV/Fresno State basketball coach, passed away. He was commonly known as "Tark".

He oversaw probably the dirtiest athletic program in history, or at least of its era.
Ok that helps…here I thought it was some wonky insult thrown at me for my Hillary comment  :P

I don't think I have ever laughed at a post related to someone passing before reading the above.

could you elaborate please?

"lefty liberal"?? let me guess? you voted for Nader? "lefty liberal" is kind of like saying loser…..

I really don't get it… Hillary is about as liberal as this country is ever going to get, is a woman (when is the US going to have a woman President???), and actually has incredible amount of experience (Senator, Secretary of State, White House First Lady)… yet we are told by lefty liberals to considIer Elizabeth Warren who has what? Two years of experience in congress???? or Sanders?  I mean I may like Sanders but the idea that the American people are going to vote for a Socialist is beyond ridiculous

Who else is there??? Biden? Come on now….
Bob Simon



Bob Simon, a longtime CBS News correspondent, was killed in a car crash in Manhattan on Wednesday, according to the network and the authorities. He was 73.

Few details about the crash were immediately available on Wednesday night. The New York Fire Department said two men were taken to local hospitals, one in traumatic arrest and another with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Mr. Simon, who was in his 19th season as a correspondent for ?60 Minutes,? won more than 27 Emmy Awards over a career dating back to the 1960s. He has covered most major news events, and as a war correspondent, was captured by Iraqi forces near the Saudi-Kuwaiti border during the opening days of the Gulf War in January 1991.He recently reported on the persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, and his story about an orchestra in Paraguay whose members made instruments out of trash earned him his most recent Emmy.

I thought gender didn't matter.  People who vote based on asinine and irrelevant factors such as gender, race, height, weight, eye color, state of birth, model of car owned, high school sports record, etc are the people who have no business being allowed to vote.

of course it matters.. when a country where more than half the people are female has never had a female president in over 200 years it matters…it matters a lot….

almost every other industrialized country has had a female head of the executive by now….heck even banana republics like Argentina…places like Chile

and the point is not to elect a woman for the sake of electing a woman.. the point is to avoid NOT electing a woman because she is a woman and in the case of Hillary Clinton it would be hard to avoid any other conclusion if she were to run again and not be elected…
As someone who works - if not on Wall Street - directly with Wall Street, I would welcome Mrs. Clinton's nomination and potential victory.  Like her husband, she will talk a mean progressive populist game, but at the end of the day, she won't forget who butters her bread.

She'll also, you know, get things done, unlike Obama.

America has a rarely-discussed ugly history of moving African-American men towards full enfranchisement much quicker than it has white women.

Property ownership, the vote, senate-ship, the Presidency, etc…
She would also help weapons manufacturers/dealers' profits soar by continuing the cycle of endless war (she's essentially John McCain when it comes to foreign policy) and as GGW said, be Wall Street's ideal candidate.

I voted for Jill Stein in the last election and will most likely vote for the Green Party candidate in 2016. Sure, they have no chance of winning but their worldview/ideals are closest to mine and that counts for something. We've been conditioned to vote for the lesser of two evils forever.
