That skit stole the show for sure.

I wouldn't say that it was better than Scott Adams, just a different view. And I don't think they were very fair to Milo either. They are describing him through their personal prism/PC prism. I don't necessarily agree with what he says, but the fact that he is gay really adds a twist. The "progressive" Left really don't know what to do with him as they can't really label him. He's not a white supremacist, even though he gets called that a lot. What I didn't like was how UC Berkeley seemed happy that the event was canceled, and the violence was cheered on by a lot of people who seemed extremely hypocritical in their views, as they support free speech apparently, as long as its speech that they agree with. The thing is, if they just ignored him, Milo would probably fade away. The whole reason he is popular and receives so much attention is the hate and vitriol directed his way, and now the violent attacks by anti-Milo anarchists at his events are just adding to his popularity. He's going to get a lot more famous before he goes away, the way things are going.

Scott Adams weighs in on UC Berkeley:

yes that Berkeley stuff wasn't cool, and I don't care what you think of Milo, that kind of reaction is never justified. Those people weren't protesters, they were anarchists. Same group that torched a Muslim immigrant's limo at the Inauguration and cost him $70,000. Violence is not the way.

Om Puri died Jan 6th. I liked his work in the Ghost and the Darkness...

The more it changes the more it stays the same.

They've been saying that for the 40+ years that I have been following Canadian politics. Seems to work on only the people who weren't going to vote Conservative anyway.

I have to admit I don't know much about her, which is why I said I wasn't sure she was the answer. If she is as good as you say I hope she runs for president in 2020 and the American people give her a fair shake. At least she won't have to worry about the Clintons destroying her campaign.

Pavelec and Hutch might end up playing Senior A whale s*$% hockey as schmelts next year for the Letterkenny Shamrocks. Leg days with them are a bitch!! -

Matt Dunigan will be crushed.... -
Not sure Elizabeth Warren is the answer either...

You watch too many celebrities (just kidding!). The actual polls when you cut through the noise and the shouting and the protests and the anger, show Trump's ban is popular! http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/316914-poll-over-half-back-trumps-refugee-ban Now I realize that this poll was conducted by a right-wing firm, so its probably not very reliable. Just offering it as a talking point.

Going back to 3 NI OL would open up other options elsewhere. Especially with Loffler now established at safety. -

Corney plays end while Shologan was DT. Jake the Snake and the Butcher can pick up the slack I guess, plus whatever DT Kyle drafts this year. Any good ones available in the first round? I have to admit I haven't checked the latest scouting reports. EDIT: Looks like the second ranked guy on the list is a d-lineman. Not sure if he plays end or DT. -

Yup, hard to argue that people in favor of the current ban aren't at least somewhat racist, that's for sure. Or just plain not educated as to the world. They really could benefit from leaving their homes in the US and traveling outside the borders. A friend of mine is from the UK and he does business in Texas. When he showed the secretary at an oil company his driver's licence she actually said "The UK? What state is that?" There's people who would be considered bigot and racists in the US, but they don't even know they are bigots and racists, because they can't be bothered to learn why different is a good thing.

They should go on a vacation together. It's been a solid 3 weeks of work for Justin since his last holiday, it's high time for another one!

I'm not sure about that. For eight years they could have stirred up violence with Obama as president and there was very little of that, other than the odd stand-off with the FBI in places like Oregon. I am not sure what the bigots and racists want, other than to just be left alone I guess. Which is no excuse for their behavior, that's for sure.

The point I was trying to make is that while some are pointing at Trump's low approval rating, I honestly don't think either candidate would have a high approval rating at this point in their presidency, due to the palpable anger on both sides of the spectrum. That's all I was trying to say. For every Trump hater in the US, there's a Trump lover, and so we as foreigners have to come to grips with that reality.

Please stop with these kinds of comments. They do no good to anyone, and only engender more bickering that does no good, and just shuts down discussion. I think I've managed to cut these kinds of comments out (if not, please let me know) and I think we all deserve respectful responses here.

I didn't think I said that Hillary would have been worse. I'm just trying to point out that we're all looking at the US through our Canadian sensibilities, and a lot of what we are seeing doesn't make sense. I can't imagine living in a country that wouldn't welcome two Iranian academics with open arms to an academic conference. And I don't think most Americans want that either. But for every person that the media shows in the US as angry etc., there is a person who is happy that Trump is doing what he said he was going to do. And while I agree that these people aren't as vocal and so on the surface the US wouldn't seem as fractured under Hillary, we have to admit that there is a large fracturing going on. It's just with the anti-Trump that fracturing is out there for all to see. With the silent Trump supporters, it's a much more quiet anger. Anyway, that's just my two cents. Either candidate at this point would have a low presidential approval rating. It's unavoidable when the country is split right down the middle.
