Buy our car. It doesn't break down nearly as often as the other models.

Eat at our restaurant. People don't get food poisoning nearly as often here as that other place.

Our airplanes don't crash nearly as often as the other guy's.

Just a quick note to note that Barnie Revolving Door Frank is an ass, and the Sanders camp seems ready to confront him for what he is.

L.A. Times "Who gives money to Bernie?" - With interactive map!

The L.A. Times released an Article yesterday that does an amazing job of illustrating who, where and how much money was donated to the sanders campaign.

The map narrows down the donations received by zip code. (Image below is a grab and not the actual interactive map)

Both the article and the map are worth checking out.

Hillary's Email - So How Did That Work Exactly?

In my perusing of the latest articles concerning the great email debate, I happened upon 2 that seem to provide a cumulative insight into some portions of the issue that haven't really adequately been covered.

First, let's look at this supremely succinct commentary/opinion from Investor's Business Daily:
