IS HILLARY THE NEW MARCIA CLARK OR CRUELLA DE VIL? You are on a Red Line train in Chicago as it pulls up to the Addison stop. Wrigley Field is almost an arm’s reach away. A thousand people wearing Cubbie blue shirts and hats cram onto the car. You immediately hear chatter from them:. That home plate umpire was unfair. He was way off on those calls, particularly in the 7th. A Timeline of Trump Responses to the Debate:. Lester Holt, the moderator, asked him unfair questions. Maybe he didn’t, but they had a...

Decades from now, I won’t remember how clever my costume was…but I will remember what I did (or didn’t do) to participate in the most important el. Ection of our lifetime.

Please Think Really, Really Hard Before Saying, “I’m Not Voting, Because I Dislike Both Candidates.”. We have reached peak election-disgust after last night’s debate spectacle. I’m hearing more sighs: “Both candidates are terrible, and so I am not voting.” I understand the exhaustion, frustration, and downright sadness about this cycle. But make no mistake, nothing good is accomplished by not voting based on a general disgust with the campaigns. Because the candidates reflect the ideas of the voters&#821...

I’m Usually Not the Marching Type, But…. Donald Trump is President of the United States today. Tomorrow I will join fellow citizens in marching on our National Mall in Washington DC. You may be joining me in DC. You may be rallying in a different city. You may be rooting along from your living room. OR…you may be saddened and confused that people would do something like this.
