    Uh, yes.

    It's time to kill Baby Hitler.
    Electorally, at least.

    Nah, they love the the rock-ribbed conservatism of Google and only use Android devices.

    The best thing about the tax story is the Trump campaign's statement. He can't just leave well enough alone:

    Mr. Trump is a highly-skilled businessman who has a fiduciary responsibility to his business, his family and his employees to pay no more tax than legally required. That being said, Mr. Trump has paid hundreds of millions of dollars in property taxes, sales and excise taxes, real estate taxes, city taxes, state taxes, employee taxes and federal taxes, along with very substantial charitable contributions.

    There. Done. The end. Shut up and move on.

    But, noooooo. He has to throw out one last ego stroke:

    Mr. Trump knows the tax code far better than anyone who has ever run for President and he is the only one that knows how to fix it.

    It's worse than you could imagine - wall-to-wall coverage of Kim Kardashian being robbed of $10m in jewelry in Paris.

    Question one - Was Trump's $916m loss real money or a paper loss?

    Question two - Is Trump's financial genius that Rudy was praising learning how and when to take a bankruptcy in order to maximize his tax benefit from them? He's done it six times now, I have to wonder if they were all completely legit or if he found a financial benefit and used it repeatedly.

    Obamacare falling apart. So much for healthcare savings
    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/03/u...e-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0
    "The fierce struggle to enact and carry out the Affordable Care Act was supposed to put an end to 75 years of fighting for a health care system to insure all Americans. Instead, the law’s troubles could make it just a way station on the road to another, more stable health care system, the shape of which could be determined on Election Day."

    That story's pretty bad. She's clearly mentally ill, and I'm a little uncomfortable that the Washington Post seemed to exploit her by writing it. She thinks that Michelle Obama is actually a man, among other zany ideas.
