A short break from current events to take a look at demographics. Most people marry someone of the same political affiliation.

Well, it prevents the wife from killing you in a political discussion.

Although I do like women who have a different point of view than me.

In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I expect someone on 4chan or Reddit to redo Le Happy Merchant to more closely resemble Krugman at this point.

Just a random fun fact: There’s another reason a Clinton win would be historic. It has nothing to do with being a woman.


The answer, by the way, is that she'd be the first Sec of State to have gone on to become POTUS since 1857.

Oh so the numbers from Sweden are wrong? Oh thank god gauthier is here to guide me in these dark times. Independent reports confirm that Sweden is now number 2 in the world where rape is concerned, but luckily some random jerk on the internet knows better. ALL HAIL GAUTHIER! GAUTHIER GALACTIC EMPEROR NOW!

I went for the opposite. Guess that explains why mine was higher than the average.
