Virginia Republicans have learned the difference between having a one-mile flood barrier that's 20 feet high and a ten-mile flood barrier that's 2 feet high. But while you celebrate, don't forget that their reaction won't be "We need to change" but "This is why we gotta stop having real elections."

If you want the clearest illustration of what white male fragility looks like, Dan Portnoy’s interview on NPR this morning is it. He can’t handle the slightest criticism or contemplate that something he’s said could possibly be hurtful.
