Good lord.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I can't cope with the U.S.'s insanity infecting other places.

Dear lord. I'd say "when will this end" but that this point "with the apocalypse" seems like too possible an answer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Trump, on the National Enquirer's reporting that Ted Cruz' father met with Oswald:
I've always said, "Why didn't the National Enquirer get the Pulitzer Prize for Edwards, and OJ Simpson, and all of these things?"

Sounds like Hillary's VP will be Kaine, Vilsack, Perez, or Booker.
I think Kaine or Vilsack would make an excellent, well-qualified VP pick you would do the job very well. But to do the job you have to win the election first and I think Perez or Booker would be better there while either would make a perfectly fine VP. My pick would be Booker. I think he'd be great on the campaign trail. Nothing against Perez, I just like Booker a little better.
Poor Vilsack, always the bridesmaid. I'm assuming Hillary doesn't pick him because she won't.
My gut feeling is that she'll go with Kaine or Perez.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Vilsack is a no-go just because of his name.

I've heard odds are good for Kaine.
Honestly, I feel like she needs a White Dude(TM) as her running mate, because I don't think the country is ready for a ticket with 2 women or a woman and a racial minority.
Though I would LOVE Booker almost as much as I would have loved Warren. And I would have been pretty happy with Sherrod Brown (although a White Dude[TM]), too.

I was TOTALLY going to say that! And then I thought, damn Steph, stop being 12.

Don't look at fivethirtyeight's polls/polls-plus predictions right now. Jesus. (I know it's the post-RNC bounce, and things will look really different next Friday, but DAMN. I mean. HOW. WHY. HOW.)
