    She was sorta hot if you didn't look at her face. Good body. But just wouldn't shut up long enough for you to appreciate it.

    A male author is insisting that he is living proof that it's possible for a male author to write an authentic female protagonist. Here's a quote from his first page.

    I hope Elon Musk never gets into a scandal. Elon-gate would be really drawn out.

    Just made an incredibly well crafted reference to the movie “Arthur” to someone far too young to get it.

    You mean the way Mitt Romney has yielded the stage?

    There is no such office as "the popular vote winner." Clinton refusing to yield the stage is like Dukakis constantly speaking up during the 1990 midterms (which he did not do) or Mondale injecting himself into the 1986 midterms (didn't do that). What she's doing is dumb.
