What makes you think that Republican voters don't feel the same way about the politicians they vote for? And who is burying their head in the sand? The article you posted was a piece of clickbait trash. Period.

Baloney, I understood the article very well. It was a poorly written waste of electrons that was written by someone with one goal in mind: to generate page clicks and shares on Facebook. It would take about ten minutes to come up with an alternate take and I'm sure that someone's writing it up now: Top 10 reasons to vote Democrat Why would anyone vote Democrat? Well, here are 10 reasons. 1. You hate people of color. President Obama has presided over 2 wars and an ever-expanding number of military actions and drone strikes in Asia and the Middle East. If you vote for him, you're voting for th

Yes, I disagree with the article -- mainly because it's stupid. But let me start refutin' 1. You are a bigot I'm not. 2. You like eating, drinking and breathing poison. I don't. 3. You think the rich don't have enough money I don't. 4. You don't support our veterans I do. 5. You like big deficits I don't. 6. You don't believe in free speech. I do. 7. You like big government I don't. 8. You want government to hurt people, but not help them I don't. 9. You are greedy, short sighted and rich I'm not. 10. You like torture I don't. No, but there's more to it than Net Neutrality. First of all, th

A little? Please. The number of elected officials is relatively stationary; it's the government's overreach that creates "big government." More laws, more regulations, more taxes, more involvement in our daily lives -- that kind of thing. The government wants tighter and tighter controls on the Internet, on the airwaves, on what we eat, on what we read, on what we drive, on what we purchase, on what we say, etc. and that's what people are growing tired of.

The one that sticks in my mind is "My Generation" in Orlando in 1982. The band had said that they weren't going to play it that tour, so I was pleasantly surprised when they opened the show with it. The 1982 tour was somewhat lackluster, but the Orlando show was the first gig after a 3-week break and they really seemed to be having a great night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbcAvOy-8f8 Joan Jett opened. The B-52s came on next and were pelted off the stage after about 20 minutes.

From Facebook: Comedy Cabaret hosted by John Hodgman returns to Solid Sound 2015: this year with friends, Paul F. Tompkins, Tig Notaro and more.

I bought a bag of those within 2 hours of landing in London last year and was smitten.

I would have bet money that the Foxygen singer's run-in with the security guy would be in the trailer. I wonder if they were filmed as they were run out of the festival that night?

Sorry if it's offensive; I'm using an iPhone and I can't see the comments. As a rule, I don't read YouTube comments even if I can see them, because they seem to be made mostly by poorly behaved 12-year-olds.

Haven't heard much about a Joe Biden run in 2016, but I wonder how gay voters will feel after hearing this:

Warm smell of carnitas, Rising up through the air. At least that's how I sang them while cooking dinner tonight...

The French woman has my vote.

Six months suspension without pay for Mr. Williams.

Doubts are also being raised about other reporting that he did, including his coverage of Hurricane Katrina. It appears that the man is a serial exaggerator and it will be up to NBC to decide whether his newly acquired reputation is too toxic for their network. The concept of a news anchor as the all-knowing, trustworthy, singular purveyor of truth in the news is a farce. We should just call them "news readers" and be done with it. It shouldn't matter who reads the news or how much they are paid and the whole process of grooming and crowning the kings and queens of the evening news -- and al

The sharks are circling and Williams has taken a leave of absence.

Slowly walking down the hall Faster than a cannonball

I doubt it. I always figured that the request show was a chance to practice/perform songs that they had learned for the upcoming tour with Dylan and MMJ and all those special guests.

Yes, but the distinctions are blurred, as he has been recounting a fictional story that took place while he was doing his job as an NBC reporter. Then he repeated it several times on nationally broadcast programs. It'll certainly hurt his credibility, but only NBC will decide if he's damaged goods.

That would be great. Yuka Honda mentioned the festival the other day on Facebook, so it's likely that there will be a Cibo Matto and/or Fig performance. I saw Fig at a sparsely attended gig at the Smell in L.A. last month and they really rocked.

Looks like Wilco are playing headlining shows Friday and Saturday.

He repeated the false account on national television several times while representing NBC News as their lead anchor. I'm certainly not suggesting that NBC News be shut down, but I am wondering aloud whether he has damaged his reputation to such a degree that the network might want to wash their hands of him.

As a journalist, he's expected to tell the truth, but he's been lying for years. As I said, Dan Rather's career bit the dust when he was caught pushing a story that turned out to be untrue. As for vaccines, I wonder if Vlad was vaccinated against MMR. Maybe Jenny McCarthy was right... http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/02/04/putin-aspergers-syndrome-study-pentagon/22855927/

Anyone want to take bets on whether NBC anchorman Brian Williams will keep his job after being caught lying about his exploits in the early days of the war in Iraq? Dan Rather's career imploded when he was caught peddling fake news, but Hillary Clinton emerged unscathed when caught lying about coming under sniper fire in Bosnia. Which way will the fickle finger of fate point today?

Tinfoil hat time: An EMP attack would likely kill our CD players, turntables, iPods and computers. Who knows how well the servers that make up "the cloud" would hold up? Everyone needs to hang onto their CDs and other physical media and build a Faraday cage to hold and protect a CD/DVD player, turntable and a solar power source and/or generator.

Nice. I happened to be visiting my kids in Orange County a few months ago and found out about a Cantillon, De Molen, Drie Fonteinen, and Hill Farmstead event in Long Beach. We waited in the sun for 2 hours, but it was well worth the inconvenience.
