Eating sweat

That basically rules out eating at American restaurants, fast food or otherwise.

Thanks in large part to..

WAIT FOR IT..

..still waiting?

Hilary "Fuck Unions" Clinton!..

Of course, you are wrong. I live near dozens of restaurants which source their food locally and sustainably thanks to the efforts of Alice Waters, Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter and others.

Even in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, where the economy was rated one of the worst in the nation for a major city over the last several decades, chef-owners like Paul Manillo, Michael Symon and Karen Smalls are sourcing their food locally and seasonally (which is neither cheap nor always practical, but the best effort is made).

If an underpaid Mexican with carpal tunnel syndrome is dropping Matrix-grown beef onto shit-soaked floors, maybe the enablers of NAFTA and corporate welfare for the largest food producers in America should stand and be counted.

The Clintons would certainly be among those.

And do NOT get me started on ethanol..

Oops..

There goes the radical Zionist support Hillary was counting on. What will she ever do without that 0.05% of the electorate?

Anonymous cowards

Many seem to advocate HRC.

Anonymously? Stand and be counted! Or are you really just taking a page from the Karl Rove playbook?

If it is really about women's issues, run a better female candidate. Geraldine Ferrara, that was a candidate I could stand up and be counted for.

Dirty

If any campaign's proxies have been playing dirty, its the Clinton campaign.

That's because they know that a side-by-side comparison of the candidates will lead to a Clinton loss.

Chairwoman Clinton

I would say she's the first selling-out-labor-to-China in Chief, but they've been doing that since Reagan.

Wow, just wow.

Warning: Serious fan wanking and wild speculation ahead.

I feel like Omar just shot me in the gut.

Jimmy, what are you doing?? The wheels are coming off so quick, can't you see it?

Omar. Fucking ghetto batman for reals. He may be dead by the end of this thing, but he goddamn-well will take everyone else down with him.

Real reporting. Too bad the right-wing noise machine is going to have a field day ripping everyone to shreds once it comes out that half the stories are made up. And that means that the poor ex-Marine and the war that made him who he is now will just keep marching on. "We don't need to invest in the poor, poor people don't exist, it's all made up. That reporter made it all up."

Jimmy.. seriously? I thought I was going to cry at the end of the ep.

Randy. The heart breaks. He's gone, and Michael may as well already be dead. Somehow this is all Herc's fault.

Chris. Chris is gonna put a bullet in Marlo, I know it. And Snoop will put a bullet in Chris.

Nicky Sobotka! How I missed you! College kids ain't shit!

Somehow, in the future of the Wire Universe (damn! only 4 left?), Carcetti will spin all this to end up in the White House. Baltimore's own Bill Clinton.

David Simon, if we can't have another season, can we at least have a book?

Also. Jimmy. Shaking head, facepalm. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.. sigh.

We don't want..

..someone who voted for war, voted to label the Iranian military as a terrorist organization, has a shaky labor record and put the rights of Sam Walton and family above the American people.

Moreover, we don't want someone who will surely lose to John McCain in a general election.

Titanic Failure

I gave up on the Oscars forever after they gave Elliott Smith's award for the vastly superior "Miss Misery" to fucking Celine fucking Dion.

Fuck Oscar.

Between the ballad of Old Jim McNulty..

..and Walter White over at Breaking Bad on AMC, its going to be a dark first week of March!

Original article: The dude vote

Yawn

The reason I'm not voting for Clinton doesn't have anything to do with her sex organs, and little with her personality.

Its the policy positions, stupid.
