In Los Angeles, a minimum wage law pushed in large part by unions, is in its final crafting stages. The bill would raise the city minimum wage to $15 by the year 2020, but guess who would like an exemption? Unions. That’s right, the same guys who

To cleanse the palate, the sung chorus is a nice touch but there’s no way to use a traditionally black genre of music to pay tribute to the most right-wing candidate in the field without starting a contest online to see who can denounce it the most

Drip, drip, drip… State Department offers to release Hillary emails every two months
5/27/2015 4:41:13 PM  Jazz Shaw
35 Comments
As I recently wrote, the value of the Hillary Clinton emails coming out of the State Department is limited at best. The defining factor in evaluating such documents will remain the inconvenient truth that they represent only the information

It’s not as bad as the immortal “noways tahhhrd” clip, but that came in front of a mostly black audience and prominent Dems tend to reserve their more cartoonish, insulting accents for minority crowds. Anyway, two theories on the case

One of the major factors in Elizabeth Warren’s populist appeal on the left is her willingness to take on the evil, rich capitalists and stand up for the little guy who inevitably gets the shaft from all the fat cats. It could truthfully be

So that proposed GOP boycott of Steph lasted not quite two weeks. Good job, everyone. Are we sure we don’t give him another shot at moderating a crucial Republican debate? When you’re at two percent in the polls, I guess you can’t
