Sanders Campaign Says This Photo Proves Clinton Broke Rules During Univision Debate


The rules of the debate banned candidates from meeting with staff during breaks. When contacted by Henry, Clinton spokeswoman Jen Palmieri responded by saying she didn’t know the photo existed.

Taking yourself Seriously Vs. Taking yourself WAY TOO Seriously

Nothing can ever hope to grow if it doesn't take itself seriously. In this sense, I mean committed to a form or course of action and be willing to put aside the barbs and slings of the opposition in order to succeed. If you don't even believe in your own idea, how can you convince others of that fact?

OT - 3/10 - In Praise of George Martin

George Martin had quite the career! After getting out of the army and then going to the Guildhall School of Music, he got a job at the BBC and then moved on to Parlophone.

It Should Be Over For Hillary

Great article on Salon, just hoping the videos don't start blaring...

Just a rant.

Univision - wow!

Please pardon the brevity of this entry, but I think a huge thank you is due to the Univision newsfolk who moderated tonight's debate. Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas asked important questions that were brutally confrontational by the standards of our mainstream media, and had no fear of holding the candidates' feet to the fire if they tried to evade.
