    And this morning I can find you a similar number of people on Twitter wishing him dead for the exact opposite reason. I think we can all agree that we should ignore the insane people on Twitter yelling into the void.

    More numerous were the people saying he was cutting other people's cancer treatments as he was receiving them.

    Agree or disagree with him, his past week is the stuff of Profiles in Courage.

    But then we wouldn't have the opportunity to feel so self-righteous about the other side. Doesn't everyone like to engage in ad hominem fallacies?

    Big nerd post alert. I'm very interested to see how historians measure the impact the internet had on this era. Internet echo chambers, people only reading what they agree with, and talking to who they agree with is obviously causing enormous polarization. It's probably also making people dumber while they think they're getting smarter.

    Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got Electrolytes.

    While John Kelly Jr. replaces Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff, it's possible that Priebus may or may not have gotten the Lane Kiffin treatment on a tarmac.

    It is fascinating. The question really is: will there be any historians? If so I don't think anyone will really care unfortunately.
