The Winner of Tonight's Debate Was...

Those who didn't watch the debate. Their IQs did not suffer from the mind numbing ass-hattery that is Trump, Rubio, Cruz, Carson and Kasich

Dog in Houston still waiting for murdered owner to return home after two weeks

This dog will be waiting forever to see his best friend again.

The loyal pet of a Houston clerk has been waiting outside the man’s apartment for more than two weeks — but his owner will never return, because he was murdered on the job.

“He would follow the cars and when he would realize that it was not his owner's car, he would just stand there and look helpless.”

snip

Every day since then, Abuharbid’s German shepherd has been spotted wandering outside his apartment, glancing around for his owner, perking up at the sight of passing cars, neighbors said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart wore same suit for 15 months and nobody noticed

He said he wore a "plain, off-the-rack, boring, dark blue suit" to all public events and council meetings for 15 months in a row to highlight double standards women in politics face when it comes to appearance.

snip

"I had heard so many of the comments that sometimes happen during elections. I read an article about a journalist in Australia who'd taken a similar action," he told CBC's On The Coast guest host Chris Brown.

"Nobody noticed … It became evident to me that nobody was going to notice, that this was not simply something that we remark upon when it comes to male politicians."

Stewart managed to keep his secret from his colleagues, staff, constituents and even his own family.

So this is what it takes to get CNN to ban you from their network

CNN will not longer feature Roger Stone, a political consultant who is frequently on television as a surrogate for Donald Trump, according to Media Matters. Stone's jaw droppingly racist and vile remarks are what did him in, however, on Twitter he is blaming Hillary Clinton.

-He called Ana Navarro a "pompous shithead" and an "abusive diva" who is "dumber than dogshit." also "Borderline retarded," and "a rabid Pekinese,"

- He also called Roland Martin a "stupid negro" and a "token buffoon" (That'll help Donald secure the votes of African Americans)

Stone has called Fox News contributor Allen West an "arrogant know-it-all negro," mocked contributor Charles Krauthammer -- who was paralyzed in a diving accident when he was in medical school -- by telling him to "stand the fuck up," suggested he wants "to bash Bill O'Reilly's head in," called contributor Herman Cain "Mandingo,"

About Voter Fraud... It appears the Republican concern was not overblown

According to several news stories, the Republican caucus has reported many instances of double voting, vote counting and voter registration mistakes.

A Nevada GOP spokesman claims they take double-voting (voter fraud) seriously.

To make everyone feel at ease they also noted that these instances have not occurred at all locations.

I know I feel all fuzzy and warm about that.
Kind of like a car rams into a bus stop with 50 people and not everyone died.

So there you have it. Where is voter fraud common... Republican caucuses.
We should be demanding that all republican dominated areas and all registered republicans supply 4 pieces of ID to prevent this scourge from overtaking the USA and casting doubts upon our democratic system

In light of the Senate refusal to hold hearings, their song

This song pretty much sums up the last 7 years of the Republicans as sung by Groucho Marx

Congrats to HRC and her supporters on Nevada

I realize it's a bit late but I got busy and I also debated where to place this
I was going to do the brave thing like Skinner and congrat in the Primary forums
But, I didn't want the constant barrage about the caucus

Congrats on winning Nevada
It was a spirited campaign on both sides
It's off to South Carolina, Super Tuesday and beyond

Best of luck to Ms Clinton
