I've always said my dream Halloween costume - that I'm going to do some day, I swear - is the pillow-covered guy from the She Drives Me Crazy video. But maybe Pat Benatar's green rag dress and eye shadow would be better.

UIC is really kind of leading the way for this post-postmodernism. Formerly Jimenez Lai, now the likes of Central Standard Office, Sean Lally, CamesGibson, etc... all would fit into the post-postmodern. I think Chris Ware and Bjarke's co-opting of comic style have played into things as well.

Both sides will say they won.
To me, both sounded terrible. It really saddens me that the American public couldn't be bothered to come out and vote in primaries. And, that as a result, we're stuck with these two pathetic excuses for candidates.
On the bright side, neither of them took the Obama approach of yelling everything for emphasis. Good lord, I can't stand to hear that man give a speech.

That debate was horrible... I cant believe one of these idiots will be president... Hilary looked like a Devil with her evil smirk and red balloon outfit and I don't think Donald had a coherent sentence the entire debate. For what it's worth... his sniffling didn't bother me. Should probably look closely at both VPs as each candidate is getting up there in age. Wouldn't be surprised if either one of them kicks the bucket while in office. Seriously... do i choose the iron maiden or elect to be drawn and quartered? Who's the libertarian candidate? Where have you gone Joe Dimaggio?

wurdan if you're seriously looking to VPs I can tell you from being one of Governor Pence's constituents (is that the right word for governor?) that he is resoundingly despised here in his home state, from both left and right. He was well on the way to getting trounced by his Democratic opponent - in deep red Indiana! - when he was tapped to be VP which thankfully pulled him out of the race. People here dislike him because he never, ever listens to actual advisers, he only listens to crazy people who weasel in and advise him for their own personal gain. He's not a statesman, by any stretch, and sadly only became governor because we were in a similar situation of no one really liking either candidate so he won because not many people voted.

The bar was high for Hillary and she cleared it w ease. Trump was often incoherent.
I'm not sure the bar was high, per se, because it was Trump. BUT, she did do well and presented herself professionally and comfortably in the face of a man who spoke untruths more than truths. Laughing off his wild statements was way better than getting upset and offended by the blatant lying.
I'm really surprised Trump never broached the ACA or the Wall subjects. I did notice he tried early to Bernie her on being too elite. But she counterpunched well on experience (stamina!), taxes, and social issues (gender equality, racist birther, stop/search).

Welcome to the new economy. It's not good enough for you to merely show up and do your job well; you must now also show sufficient enthusiasm for it, no matter how phony it comes across. Both my grandfathers spent decades performing mind-numbing manual labor for a living, and they had to put up with a lot of bullshit in those jobs, but I'm pretty sure neither one was expected to be enthusiastic about what they were doing.
