Republican Candidates Holding Up Phones, Ranked

The phone is the political prop of the decade. Politicians hold them up during speeches to tell stories because it’s the ubiquitous little gadget that says, look, I’m just like you and I’m going to talk about Our Modern World™.

Donald Trump Won’t Be Our Next President Because He Doesn’t Have a Beard

Donald Trump will not be our next president. Neither will Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush, nor Hillary Clinton. How can I say this with such confidence? Because none of these people have beards. And that was supposed to be the style for US presidents by now. At least according to one random magazine from 1966. The…

Don’t Have Cable for The Republican Debate? Try Periscope, If You Dare

If you don’t have a cable subscription, you won’t be able to watch tonight’s Republican Presidential debate on Fox News.Which feels so 20th century.

Facebook Is Hosting the Republican Debate, So Why Can’t We Watch Online?

Thursday’s debate between Republican candidates for President is must see TV. But if you’re a cordcutter who doesn’t subscribe to traditional TV, you’re sadly out of luck.

Trump Offered Obama a BP Spill Fix and “One of the Great Ballrooms of the World”

Donald Trump. Just a normal man with a normal ego. An ego so mild that he casually asked to be put in charge of BP repair operations. When he was turned down, he offered to build Obama a ballroom. Hoookay! The bizarre offers, culled from the flappy-haired real estate Hutt’s interview with George Stephanopoulos and…
