Please. You think Hilary is scandalous? You are very sadly in the wrong sir. In fact I would say she is cleaner than any GOP candidate, and if there were cleaner democratic candidates none of them have any chance in hell in being elected. Also, if she is as "scandalous" as you're making her out to be then she's done an admirable job of damage control. Besides, regardless of my opinion she's hardly "neck deep" in scandal. Half the scandals have been caused by the press quoting her out of context.

On the note of political posturing, ALL of your candidates are doing it. ALL OF THEM. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. How do you think the government works? That this is some sort of meritocracy? Haha, NO. It is political alliance, cooperation, and compromise that gets bills passed, people nominated, and candidates elected.

And no, there you DON'T go showing your centrism. In fact, I dare say Hilary is your best, BEST, shot at getting any manner of what you would consider centrist ideology inserted in to modern US policy.

Of course, it remains to be seen if she even will run, there's nothing certain and it may be that she isn't going to bother. I mean, if she does, you can say whatever you want about political ambition, but every candidate that you will be able to vote for this coming election season will, in fact, be murderously cutthroat ambitious. Politically, of course.

But for that harsh reply I now state, that is in fact, just my two cents, and I bear no ill will against you Wierd.

In before Hillary becomes next president and Republicans in the Senate(or was it House?) doubles down on oppose-everything-and-or-do-jack strategy.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Biden Worries Legalized Weed In D.C. Will Cut Into His Business

O-kay.....

I guess he'll be the one to finally stop the drug war when elected?

Check the source.

The Onion.

Oh.

Fail XD

Funny article though. Should have known by it's non-serious nature.

The Onions interpretation of Biden is some of the greatest comedy of the modern age.

"Interpretation". Heh. Let's be honest - those are probably direct quotes from an interview, which the Onion's only allowed to print because nobody would believe it.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

If she agreed to pull some Sopranos shit and the Tea Party Caucus just happened to wind up in the Potomac with cement shoes....I *might* be tempted to vote for her.

As it is, I think the Onion nailed with this one:
