I'm pretty sure Andy Rooney has been old for the last I don't know 30 years or so. Sorta like Willie Nelson he is just old period.

Well, it IS sexist. What's the point?
It's sexist for a mom to assume that a 14-year-old girl is going to want to hang around boys more in the near future?
It's also sexist for someone to assume that a 14-year-old boy is going to want to hand around girls more in the near future.
Given the probabilities involved, it's likely accurate, but it certainly is stereotyping solely based on gender.
*edit* And what in the heck does it have to do with humor, in any event?
It isn't sexist. It is heteronormative.
The use of emotional trigger words to poorly convey ideas is at the heart of why trying to tell jokes to people under the age of 25 is becoming harder and harder. Mind you, college campuses have had hyper-sensitive crusaders-without-a-cause for decades, going back at least to the 60s and probably earlier (I don't feel like poring through stories of school life in Britain in the 1800s right now), but the rise of far-left political correctness has stifled many people's abilities to even perceive a world where something being uncomfortable is ok.
The current trend among a certain subset of people is "If this bothers me personally, it must be eliminated." This is exactly why Millennials get accused of being the "me" generation even though Baby Boomers clearly deserve the title more. Whereas some Boomers feel that everything should be to their own benefit, some Millennials are convinced everything should be to their own liking. Which makes me giggle a little bit given the little *** all buy iPhones (over Androids) that are about as personalizable and configurable as a brick: paint it any color you want, you're not changing anything meaningful.
I personally have a very mixed audience relationship with Doug Stanhope. A lot of what he says makes me laugh, but he says and does a few things that are well within the limits of my personal feeling of offense. As an adult living in the real world, I've learned to accept that not everyone will agree with me. Teenagers today, growing up with Twitter accounts before they have their first pube, are not equipped to tolerate any deviation.
Of course, they're just inheritors of people who came before. I could name about a dozen people on this forum whose only difference from these SJWs (and the many others who share their MO, if not their causes -- Gamergate, for instance, is the same problem from a different angle) is that they continue to hang around this forum being constantly exposed to people with whom they automatically and incontrovertibly disagree.
It also doesn't have to do with being bothered, or wanting to eliminate it. You can certainly describe something accurately without wanting to eliminate it.
In other words, it's a bit of a stretch to go from saying "That's sexist" to "Eliminate sexism". Kind of like saying "That's heteronormative" doesn't imply "Eliminate heteronormativity".

Good to know that a prank call can shut down the government.

Are they not supposed to take a bomb threat seriously?
"Hey guys, it's just some teenager again. Nothing to see...*boom*
WHY DIDNT OBAMA PERSONALLY EVACUATE THE WEST WING???

Calling in a bomb threat is the easiest way to get out of work or school that I can think of.

Getting out of it for 15-20, sure.
That is long enough to avoid a test you didn't study for !

Hillary has too much Benghazi on her from the plebian laymen side of the uninformed voter pool so maybe Bernie will get it cause he actually does seem to want what a lot of voters seem to want.
Uninformed voter's would think she did everything perfectly in that situation. However the fact that it was a failure in leadership absolutely tells us how well she would do as POTUS. Did you even watch the hearings? I suppose not. You probably believe they were complete investigations also, even though emails had not been received until February 2015. Had Gowdy not been so thorough America still wouldn't even know about Clintons secret spy network and private communication paid for by U.S. Tax payers.
Benghazi is the least of corrupt Clinton's concerns. I would think being bribed by foreign governments much more dangerous to her campaign. There is a reason she doesn't field reporters questions.
At this point she is merely a distraction from whoever the real democratic candidate will be. Much like Obama in 2008. I can't believe anyone other than crazed feminists or low-information voters would support her.
There isn't a viable candidate out there yet for either party. Just more pro-establishment, pro-wall street, sell out America candidates.
The way you use the term itself it seems like its an inappropriate word substitution. And then if you get into like, the actual things in your post, you cant really blame Clinton for using an illegal legal spy network because it fell under TPA if it used a "national security" tag. This is largely the information that no one seems to get, it may be "Illegal" but "technically" it is "Legal" because there is a law that loopholes the law against justifying it. You get rid of the law, you then make things done under this law full on illegal again no questions, You cannot have both without the other happening first.
Now as far as TPA goes it did expire, but it only gained a new form in new legislation.
But lets face it, the most tangible argument anyone in the debate is going to have against Clinton is Benghazi allegations, and you cant win an election by shouting buzz words at the top of your lungs hoping everyone believes you. Romney tried it (The pitiful little attempt at a gotcha question as he could have ever attempted as it was), failed, now his party is using the same tag line as if its in any way relevant.
As far as the legitimacy of any "Investigation" may have gone it was entirely fruitless a venture as any to try and pin anyone to the event because it was literally an attack suit which ultimately wasted more of the tax payers dollars then it actually had to. What happened was definitely a tragedy, trying to claim it was intentional or negligence was had is just going to be grabbing for straws if you dont have anything tangible that leads to that much reasonable doubt. You can subjectively argue if they did or didnt, but thats all you really have is subjective hearsay.
I just cant wait til all these "New 9/11" gotcha scandals can stop, they are really just pathetic at this point.
We Like Darth Vader Better Than All 2016 Candidates
IDK, we had Darth Cheney and his sock puppet. I didn't like them at all.
Quote:
Potential voters aren't pleased with their options: poll
If voting took place today, and if he could make the journey from the Death Star, Darth Vader might just be named the next president of the United States. He'd have a better chance than any of the real-life candidates at least, according to an amusing new poll from the Washington Post. The Terminator and the shark from Jaws also sit higher in net favorability rankings—based on positive ratings minus the negative ones from recent traditional polls (for the real candidates) as well as 1,000 Google users who answered questions over the weekend (for the fictional ones)—than any of the actual candidates. Bernie Sanders is the only one of the candidates to have a favorable score, though 62% of poll respondents didn't give an opinion on the senator because they didn’t know much about him.
Sanders is followed by Marco Rubio, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Rand Paul, and Scott Walker. Walker fared only slightly better than Voldemort, the noseless villain from Harry Potter, who in turn outranks Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Rick Santorum, Chris Christie, and Donald Trump, in that order. Trump, who 71% viewed unfavorably, scored a negative 56, far worse than Christie's negative 26. A CNN poll last week found potential voters have the most unfavorable impression of Clinton since 2001, with many doubting whether she is honest and trustworthy. The same poll found Rubio and Bush lead a tight pack, including Huckabee, Walker, Cruz, Paul, and Ben Carson, on the Republican side.
