Amazing. Where did you find this?

You could have gave me a hundred guesses and I wouldn't have remembered Jack Kemp was Dole's running mate. And he was a fucking football player.

My dad told me he sacked Kemp in high school and got penalized for unnecessary roughness and he was fuckin furious at the time, but then years later he was glad cuz it made a better story.

That's excellent.

Kemp was dogged by homosexual rumours to the day he died. You think maybe your dad turned him homo with that dirty hit?

He bent him backwards and he liked it.

That site is awesome, but it's also worth pointing out that it's being hosted by 4president.org, which is an organization which - apparently - preserves candidate websites, logos, etc. Still awesome, but it's not like the site just inexplicably survived all these years.

It's still a brilliant time capsule.

Oh, for sure. and I actually really like the idea that there's this organization out there, curating campaign websites and stuff.

Remember when Bill Clinton was building a superhighway to the 21st century? Apparently it involved cigars and fellatio.

I maintain that from a comedic perspective, we all lost on 6 November. Mittens would have been a bumbler of Fordesque proportions.

If this doesn't royally piss you off, I don't know what will. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... cting.html

On the surface, it looks as though the American electorate deliberately split power between Democrats and Republicans and created gridlock. House Speaker John Boehner’s rejection of President Obama’s bid to raise income tax rates on the wealthy rests on the continuing Republican majority in the House and the claim that House Republicans won a mandate from American voters in November to keep all the current tax rates in place.

But that’s false. Republicans did not win an electoral mandate. In fact, they lost the popular vote for the House of Representatives. More Americans voted this year for Democratic House candidates than for Republicans and yet the GOP wound up with the House majority. That happened once before—in 1996.

By the Associated Press unofficial vote tally, Democratic candidates for the House won a million more votes than Republicans—56,056,564 to 55,028,230—and yet the Republicans got a House majority, 234 to 201.
