Re: It's going to be a photo finish in Alabama tonight...

Doesn't sound like Moore is going to go gentle into that good night. Will probably fund a recount. After all, he's doing God's work and all.

I wonder, after what he just said to his followers, if he will concede that him losing was part of God's plan.

Re: Batman vs. Superman

There's a 50% differential between the critics' reviews (appx. 25% fresh on rotten tomatoes) and the movie-goers' (appx. 75%). Seems to be a movie that the diehards/snobby critics seem to not like, but the average movie-goer appears to enjoy it. I'll probably see it next weekend and will walk into ...

"Free college for all"

Of all of Sanders's campaign promises this one sounds the most specious. I'm not really sure what it even means, and it raises more questions than anything. - What is the 'right' percentage of the populace that should have undergrad degrees? - What is the 'right' breakdown in majors?

Re: Is it racist to not want people to die from drugs?

Yeah...the rise in heroin addiction is inexorably linked to the rise in prescription opiates. In my area, we've seen an over 900 percent increase in opiate prescriptions since 2000.

Re: When did Christie become pro life?

George HW Bush was pro choice before he was pro life and it didn't seem to hurt him.

Presidential candidates make compromises in order to win over constituents and the pro choice to pro life move is one of the more common in the GOP.

Re: Nebraska/Oklahoma vs Colorado weed - do they have a case

Not really, they are obscuring the 'moral' aspect of this in favor of the economic. Their position boils down to: Colorado is generating revenue at our expense. Of course the states have every right to keep weed illegal and jail people for using it. But they budget for enforcement just like everyon...

It's really hard to characterize TSL poster attitudes along a line. Maybe I could do it in a quad ch...

Re: Sanders thinks the DNC is sabotaging his campaign

I'd say they don't want him to split the party vote come election day. The best thing they could hope for is to cut a deal with him - Hillary appoints him to a cabinet position, Sanders throws his support behind her prior to the Convention, everyone sings kumbaya.
