Nothing that’s said on the Internet ever truly disappears, and that can be a good or bad thing depending on the situation. One example of this being a good thing is that whenever a politicians decides to tweet something without thinking it all the way through, thus giving us a look at their tr

Cable television is dying and there aren’t very many people who are going to mourn its passing. In fact, most of us are probably laughing as it writhes on the ground while Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus, and Netflix continue to beat the living crap out of it. That metaphor isn’t too far from th
It’s always comforting to see how unqualified the people who control your country are for their positions. The latest instance of this is with Senator Lindsey Graham who, in his own words, has literally never sent an email in his life. Keep in mind that this man is a member of the Senate Subco
