One interesting fact that came out in this race is that Sen. Cruz has visited more counties in Iowa (which has 99 counties, and he visited all of them) than he has visited in Texas (which has 254, my recollection is Cruz has visited 60-70 of them).

I'm sorry NightHawkeye but it appears you need to get your tinfoil hat out. I'm sorry, knowing what I do about cell phones, you sound crazy. Do Google and Apple track you through GPS, absolutely. But everything I've seen from the two companies lead me to believe either builds backdoors into...

Yes, they did have it offered -- though it was without commentary (though many would consider that to be an improvement over listening to the Today Show hosts). It was live Friday morning starting (from memory) at 5 am CT on the NBC Sports app. Just to verify things, Wikipedia shows that the...

I think the issue is more of the time difference than the lack of events "live." How many really would have watched the Olympic Opening Ceremonies at 6 am on a Friday morning -- or 3 am on the west coast? And they did offer it live, though you had to stream it over the Internet from the NBC...

[Staff edit]. First, even if this person had made direct threats against the school, it would not be the FBI investigating, it would have been local law enforcement. Second, we don't investigate people because people find them "creepy" or "disturbed;" instead we have this idea that people are...

Let us look at the flag bearers a moment; the flag bearer is chosen by the American team and it isn't given to the "most successful." Looking at past US Winter Olympic flag bearers: in 2014 it was Todd Lodwick, who competed in Nordic Combined and was a six time Olympic athlete and won one Silver...

From what I read, your issue is not with the poll itself but with the conclusions being drawn from the data; and that is perfectly valid. I agree that 75% of Americans did not see the speech as uniting, because most Americans did not watch the speech. The issue that most of us have is that you...

I'm curious where you get the "half the Democrats" statistic -- I don't see it in that poll. I feel about the same as how "half of Republicans" used to like Obama's State of the Union speeches. It's nice that he made a speech that people that watched enjoyed -- just like other presidents have...

I tend to always try and "parse" polls. Statistics and polls can be great tools but you do have to see what the actual numbers represent, not what people try to twist them into.

I'm going to disagree with you on the Vikings, Vikings refer to an ethnic group, one whose culture was centered around sailing, but still it was a name for Scandinavian peoples from several hundred years ago. I do agree with the person who says all of these mascots, except Indians, are...

Don't make too much of the poll; you do realize Obama had a 78% approval rating for his first SOTU speech. In fact, CNN is saying it is the worst polling SOTU address since 1998 (back when Clinton was being impeached). The reason the numbers are so high, for all SOTU addresses is "the...

Interesting article that puts that 75% number into perspective: "As with every State of the Union address, the president's supporters watched the speech in disproportionately high numbers relative to the U.S. electorate as a whole." CBS poll shows that over 50% of the respondents identified as...

I'm impressed by the huge amount of cherry picking in the article -- particularly how he conflates state and local government employees with federal employees. For example, that New York City toll taker who is not a federal employee and works in what is the most expensive city in the US. You...

More than this, we keep hearing how great the economy is and about the low rates of unemployment (never mind Trump's repeated claim of "the real unemployment rate" before the election, and that job growth has been lower this year). The fact remains that there are fewer people now searching for...

That is the other side of it, many of these companies announced bonuses at the same time they were laying off workers. Also, the fact that most of these companies seem to give bonuses -- and not wage increases, makes me question how serious these companies are about sharing the wealth they...

Which is fine. In this case, in the original decision, it was stated that they never talked about what the design might be -- that the baker told them, as soon as they wanted a cake for "their" wedding, that he would not make it. The judge stated that, had they talked about a design, that the...

I like it as well. The way to think about it is how well pineapple pairs with cooked pork, so you're just adding the pineapple to enhance the flavor of the pork on your pizza. I should also add, I think Bannon being thrown out of Breitbart, because of his split with Trump, says more about...

That appears to be what Colorado has attempted to do. What Colorado is saying is that any cake the baker may sale to the general public he should be willing to sale to gays. So something like a plain white wedding cake or one of the cakes in his catalog, he should have no issue baking for them...

Yet that wasn't your claim, your claim is the gay couple wanted "a cake to celebrate something that was illegal." Again, what were they wanting to celebrate that was against the law, and what type of criminal penalties were there for breaking the law?

The issue, which has been conflated, is that there are reports of minorities reporting rapes and sexual abuse (not occurring in prison) and Arpaio department not investigating the cases. And this is beyond the issues of abuse by deputies of prisoners in his care; the county paid out at least $43...
