The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Burt you know they publish those specifically for the hate clicks
Yeah. How does that make you feel about the state of "journalism"?
It's a field that was totally upended and is still trying to figure out how to right itself, and lots of companies are taking the clickbait route since that's the only way that has been shown to reliably make money.

Every time I hear some lame argument about how the “media” is trying to indoctrinate people or whatever, I can’t help but roll my eyes. These are businesses, and these days there’s so much competition for my eye balls. It’s all about the $$.
Burt's right, the most popular news station on tv and most of the top websites you see referenced on social media are driven by right wing ideology as much as profits.

I’ve always gotten a kick out of James Cargill. Seems like the game has changed quite a bit since he was at his strategic peak, but he’s obviously intelligent and a pretty funny personality to boot.
Anyway I found this interview interesting. His view is that the Dems actually have a deep bench for future elections, sourced primarily from governors who’ve managed to win purple states. I like how he never minces words. I’m sure we can find criticisms of all this but he’s probably not totally crazy.

josh shapiro is a great choice, but i'm not sure this country will elect a jewish guy president
I sat across from him a few weeks ago on a commercial flight from Detroit to Harrisburg. He was casually chatting with the girl next to him about 70's soul music. I have no idea why he was there.
