      Because a liberal comedy* site is a credible source of information. No, really.

          That post-mortem was designed to keep the establishment in power, not make an honest attempt at a post-mortem. The idea that opposition to the Mexican invasion is a killer with hispanics in particular turned out to be false. And now we see a similar scenario in the Democratic party, except democrat party heads are successfully convincing their idiot base they lost because of Russia and not because Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate who ran the worst campaign in living memory.

                "effect" and "affect" can be quite confusing, as cited here.

                You claim the contrary, but your "really should have said" shows otherwise. Do you want his policies changed or implemented?
                My selection of "affect" was what I intended at the time, but I admitted it was a poor choice - I shouldn't have used effect OR affect - I should have done what I clarified my intent to be....

                " He's operating more like a CEO hiring people he believes can affect implement his policies. "

                It was actually NRAJeff who pointed out the difference to me, and he's also the one who enlightened me to the use of the word "pedantic", which... um..........


                anything else?

                  The words don't confuse me; only your usage did.

                    My most humble apologies. As I have said, and am now saying for the THIRD time, I should have used "implemented".

                      Actually Cracked has put out some pretty good articles. It is unfortunate that they feel it necessary to pepper them with obscenities in attempt to sound hip or cool.

                          Their pop culture articles are fun, but whenever they delve into politics, it's nothing but typical liberal pandering.

                              They did an article on Christ mythism awhile back that was surprisingly good.
