This is exponentially the craziest election I’ve ever seen. People are observing that instead of an “October Surprise”, Donald Trump appears to have an “October Advent Calendar” with a shocking new revelation or error every single day. Today’s video of him making crude comments about cheating on his wife, an actress he’s about to meet, and […]
MetaFilter’s been having ongoing mega-threads every few days for MeFites to discuss the election. They started the latest one for Monday night’s debate.

Usually Throwback Thursday is for a photo from the old days but I’ve got a collection of obituaries I’ve come across recently that I thought I’d discuss instead since all three send me down memory lane in different ways… Author, publisher, businessman and activist, Mel Hurtig, passed away yesterday. I never got to meet him […]
Luckily, he’s living under Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” desk… (Oh, and here’s a summary of 25 of Trump’s biggest lies, exaggerations and misrepresentations from his convention speech last night.)
The final episode of season 6 airs tonight and after last week’s episode (which is the highest rated single episode of a TV show in history), I can’t wait! This clip is a good warm-up for the series finale. Warning: contains so much awesome… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wfa-iBgzXA
