MOST DISHONEST TWEET EVER. But it was MSNBC, so that makes it okay.
HOW TO TELL SOMEONE'S AGE when all you know is the name.

My son and daughter don't appear on any of the lists, which must make them uncommon (and of that, there is no doubt). My younger brother is older than me (heh), at least in median age; and my mother and father (both now deceased) have median ages of 64 and 62, respectively.

Something not mentioned, but I'd be curious about: is name popularity cyclical? And if so, as I expect, is there a median cycle length?
WHAT WE LEARNED when we sent a female reporter shopping for a home-defense handgun. The same thing I see almost every time I go to the gun range for some target practice....
VETERANS SEE RED as Jane Fonda tapped to speak to UCLA graduates. But I'll bet dimes to dollars that there will be no demand that UCLA recind the invitation....
THE LEFT doesn’t really believe in climate change. Climate change is just their latest excuse to achieve their ultimate goal of increasing government, impeding capitalism, and reducing individual liberty.
SO THERE ARE NO POOR WHITES IN NEED OF HELP? Obama unveils blueprint for helping young men of color get ahead.
WHAT?? Just "beginning to doubt whether government is all that good at this health care stuff."
SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE: $15 minimum wage policy backfires in Seattle suburb. Not even the 'beneficiaries' like it.
THE DISASTER THAT IS OBAMANOMICS:
An unprecedented number of men–one in six–between the ages of 25 and 54, what should be their prime earning years, are either unemployed or out of the work force entirely. One in eight, the highest proportion since record-keeping began in 1955, are out of the labor force.
Question: What will happen with those working-age men when the Obama administration runs out of other people's money? Think about it. And while you're thinking about it, think about the Ukraine. Most of Europe, expecially France and England. Our own urban ghettos....
FEDERAL DIETARY GUIDELINES criticized as politically motivated:
“The committee is not considering the best available science.... This is particularly worrisome considering that people will be told to eat a certain way not because the scientific and medical data suggests it’s a better way to eat, but because of environmental and other non-dietary reasons.”
It's not science; it's politicized science.
JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO on the Veterans Administration scandal.
WHY WE'VE NEVER BEEN VISITED BY ALIEN LIFE:
At roughly the same time they invented their own warp drive, they also invented politics. In the ensuing squabbles, the budget for the warp drive was diverted, and they never got off the ground.
Makes sense to me....
