WTF is a "pharoah"?

He wasn't listed in the inserts of his Blu Ray's.

I don't get it.
He spends 95% of his free time watching movies.

Maybe 50%. Having a relationship is time consuming, and also I exercise more than I used to.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Blows my mind you're not familiar with Komrade Bernie, Ide.

Even I know Bernie Sanders. Followed him on Facebook, but there were just too many posts.  :blush:

Sanders is a self-described Democratic Socialist and therefore a terrible person.  But I wish him the best in the primary and am almost tempted to throw a few dollars his way.  If Liz Warren threw her fake headdress into the ring, I'd definitely send her some money.

Maybe he should win.  That might be interesting.
He could win New Hampshire I think. If someone other than Clinton wins Iowa the election will be wide open.
I didn't realize the Dems had anyone beside her?
PDH!

The Iowa Caucus isn't until February 1st.

So far, any serious competition hasn't materialized. She has a lot of influence, especially with the fundraising arm of the machine. Plus, the bench isn't that deep really. Anything could happen though. There is a part of the party that really doesn't want her. Those are the ones who were heckling her supporters and stuff at the caucus in 2008. They still exist. But from what I saw, there were an awful lot of college kids in that crowd. And they aren't...reliable.

O'Malley, former Maryland governor, is very likely going to run, probable. I think there are one or two more thinking about running.
