Hillary Shifts to the Right, and Eventual Cognitive Dissonance
Submitted by cardboardurinal on Mon, 05/09/2016 - 1:10pmI am not one of those people who will claim that Hillary shifts to the "center." When you are to the right on far too many issues, the only direction that you can really shift is rightward.

Submitted by Fentress on Mon, 05/09/2016 - 6:00amAn ad for something I don't remember said of a spelling bee, in passing as the bee was going on in the background and the ad wasn't for literacy, "...like words you don't need to use anymore" of a four syllable word "ambrosia." That celebrates pig ignorance, encourages pride in stupidity. The ad was, I *think, for food Fast food. Non-GMO poison. Utterly non-nutritious (oh my, another 3-1/2 to 4 syllable word) crap that people use to fill their guts that they don't have to learn how to prepare for themselves. Crap that costs them more than twice what it would if they made it from scratch. Bad nutrition. A veritable (that's four syllables, folks) PAEAN - hymn of praise, not to a deity but to a word, "food". IOW, it's not only a "word you don't need to use anymore" but also ::gasp!:: heresy.
Does this make any sense?

You would think that everyone was bullish on the economy and the companies that issue these equities, but you would be wrong.
