A People's History of Donald Trump's Business Busts and Countless Victims, by Kurt Eichenwald.
If anyone remembers the blistering Rolling Stone takedown of McCain, "Make Believe Maverick," this may be this election's answer to that.

It's probably the reason Trump invited Obama's half-brother to be his guest at the debate tomorrow night.
Trump does understand he's not running against Obama, right?

The storyline about the pimp was my favorite of the episode. Not sure why they weren't aware he was on Heroin before they treated him. Obviously, a tox screen should have been ran. Maybe I wasn't paying attention and it was? I'll have to rewatch this week.
Tox screens really aren't done routinely. Having confirmation of a drug in a person's system doesn't really change how you manage them, and with most drugs where the drug is the reason you're treating them, you can usually tell what they're on. The one exception would be if you have a young person who is having chest pain and denying any drug use.
Psychiatric admissions will request them, but that's about the only case where it's done more often than not.

So, is Donatella going to be played by Sarah Paulson or Lady Gaga?

The gall of them. That was the most blatantly corrupt thing I think I've ever seen.

Depending on the day of the week, Star Trek V is the worst thing the franchise ever committed to celluloid.
And yet, there's this one line that always gets me on the rare occasions I watch it: "I lost a brother once. I was lucky I got him back."
No matter the movie's faults, the portrayal of the brotherly love between Kirk, Spock, and Bones was mostly great.

Christie's going to be lucky if he doesn't get impeached. He would do well to keep his head down so that the NJ legislature doesn't think it's worth it for a lame duck.

I don't know much about InfoWars or Alex Jones but isn't that the guy whoclaims that Obama and Hillary are literally demons?
Yes. And just about every other conspiracy theory out there.
The frightening thought is that I read once that he has a bigger following than Glenn Beck, even back to when Beck was still on Fox.
I love free speech, and I'm happy to have people share their opinions even when I think they're repellant, but with people like Jones, I struggle a little. A lot of the things he says come very close to sedition.

Christie should be forced to pay back every dime in salary he received from New Jersey's taxpayers while he foolishly ran for president, prostituted himself for an AG spot in the mythical Trump administration, and worked as one of Trump's loudest surrogates.
Not to mention those "Stronger than the Storm"

Michael Moore has his own October Surprise.
I'm amazed the title of the documentary isn't Concern Troll given how he's acted all year.

Who do you think is going to watch all the shows on Trump TV?
If anything, I bet he just partners with InfoWars. Alex Jones has a following that's frighteningly large.

Plotting their escape plan. It should be fun to see where the surrogates land. Will they quietly retire or be rewarded for trying to make Trump palatable? I'm going with the latter. Plus, I can't see Gingrich, Guiliani, et al, giving up the limelight.
I hope KellyAnne Conway asked for cash up front. If/when he loses, it would be perfectly in character for him to decide not to pay her.
I've read things that this is actually going to make her sought-after, because she managed to make him halfway palatable...but she's done a shit job. The last month of the campaign has exceeded the dumpster fire that even the more pro-Hillary people were expecting.

"We'll take the next chance, and the next..."
I have a feeling this is going to hit me in a primal place that even TFA didn't. I guess I'm just a sucker for hopeless causes.

They've always held of Megyn "Santa Claus is White" Kelly as the standard bearer for the idea that some of the Fox hosts can be decent people. She's definitely improved her image during this election, and I imagine once she jumps ship to CNN and is free of the daily marching orders Fox makes its hosts emphasize, she'll be a lot more, ahem, fair and balanced.
But honestly, even in a glass closet, Shep was the only who struck me as a fundamentally decent person.
It is kind of nice that between him, Rachel Maddow, Thomas Roberts, and Anderson Cooper, all three networks have an openly gay anchor.

Vogue makes its first endorsement ever.
QuoteAnd yet two words give us hope: Madam President. Women won the vote in 1920. It has taken nearly a century to bring us to the brink of a woman leading our country for the first time. Let’s put this election behind us and become the America we want to be: optimistic, forward-looking, and modern.
Also, a great picture of her.

Its sickening that our government is being held hostage to the Senate fillibuster
A rule that exists nowhere in the Constitution.
The Senate has always supposed to be the "Quiet please, the adults are talking" chamber, but I honestly think some of the rhetoric coming from there is as bad or worse than the House.

Oh, what the hell:
For 25 years, an entire industry has sprung up around bashing Hillary Clinton, often taking contradictory positions. She's a weak woman, she's a ball buster. We don't like her hair, her clothing. She's too liberal, she's too conservative. She apparently has to be held to standards no one else has. Ann Richards said it best "Backwards in heels." Twice the work for half the credit.
All that, and she still came out on top. I may not agree with 100% of her positions, but I find that incredibly admirable.

I found this to be exactly what I was trying to say, but couldn't put into words yesterday. By a comedian, even!
People don't give comedians enough credit. They're commentators on society first and foremost. And because it's "funny" they can get away with a lot more.
I know she's not to everyone's taste, but Sarah Silverman has been killing it throughout the general election.

You just watch. She wins and the Senate flips, the lame duck session with confirm him. Because even though he would cause a leftward swing, she'd have the opportunity to make a much bigger one when she takes office.
And I will guarantee a new Democratic Majority will nuke the ability to filibuster SCOTUS appointments.

I have to wonder if Church Lady is even human. I mean, not that she's possessed, that she's a literal demon.
While the show is interesting, and I'll probably stick with it for as long as it's on, I have to confess the huge stakes that are set up, where it seems like every other person in Chicago is possessed kind of spoils it for me. The Exorcist is scary because the emotional stakes are a little girl in terrible, terrible trouble and a priest having a crisis of faith. It's more engaging than "vast conspiracy to kill the pope and also steal a bunch of organs because reasons." I'm not saying that this is bad, but if they'd put the focus exclusively on Casey, at least for the first few episodes, it might have a greater impact.
