The liberals and Obama are dancing on his warm corpse.

A sad day for America. He will be replaced with another unqualified Marxist lesbian pagan.

It’s not unusual for a restaurant patron to be less hungry than expected and decide to order an appetizer instead of a main course, but one Zurich restaurant got so sick of the practice that it has started adding a fee for any customers who don’t order a main dish.

According to The Local, the restaurant Neumarkt in Zurich charges 10 Swiss Francs, or $10.23, for any customers who don’t order a main course. The fee has not gone over very well with some customers.

“Typical of Zurich,” one Facebook commenter reportedly complained.

In spite of the complaints, the restaurant maintains that the fee is totally fair, especially since without it people keep coming to the restaurant and staying all day without actually ordering anything.

Hillary Clinton and Henry Kissinger: It's Personal. Very Personal.
The Clintons and the Kissingers regularly spend holidays together at a beachfront villa.

—By David Corn | Fri Feb. 12, 2016 6:32 PM EST

At Thursday night's Democratic presidential debate, one of the most heated exchanges concerned an unlikely topic: Henry Kissinger. During a stretch focused on foreign policy, Bernie Sanders, the senator from Vermont, jabbed at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for having cited Kissinger, who was Richard Nixon's secretary of state, as a fan of her stint at Foggy Bottom.

"I happen to believe that Henry Kissinger was one of the most destructive secretaries of state in the modern history of this country," Sanders huffed, adding, "I will not take advice from Henry Kissinger." He referred to the secret bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam war as a Kissinger-orchestrated move that eventually led to genocide in that country. "So count me in as somebody who will not be listening to Henry Kissinger," Sanders roared. Clinton defended her association with Kissinger by replying, "I listen to a wide variety of voices that have expertise in various areas." She cast her interactions with Kissinger as motivated by her desire to obtain any information that might be useful to craft policy. "People we may disagree with on a number of things may have some insight, may have some relationships that are important for the president to understand in order to best protect the United States," she said.

What Clinton did not mention was that her bond with Kissinger was personal as well as professional, as she and her husband have for years regularly spent their winter holidays with Kissinger and his wife, Nancy, at the beachfront villa of fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, who died in 2014, and his wife, Annette, in the Dominican Republic.

This campaign tussle over Kissinger began a week earlier, at a previous debate, when Clinton, looking to boost her résumé, said, "I was very flattered when Henry Kissinger said I ran the State Department better than anybody had run it in a long time. So I have an idea about what it's going to take to make our government work more efficiently." A few days later, Bill Clinton, while campaigning for his wife in New Hampshire, told a crowd of her supporters, "Henry Kissinger, of all people, said she ran the State Department better and got more out of the personnel at the State Department than any secretary of state in decades, and it's true." His audience of Democrats clapped loudly in response.

Bewildered by 2016 race, George W. Bush returns to the trail to boost Jeb

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The 2016 campaign has bewildered and captivated George W. Bush. At home in Dallas, the 43rd president rises before dawn and reads political news online. He fires off emails to his old advisers to check on the latest campaign-trail ­gossip. He tunes into the debates, even though they stretch past his bedtime.

In private and among friends, Bush and his wife, Laura, express amazement at an election season that has been hijacked by Donald Trump. At a get-together last month, Clay Johnson, a lifelong friend, recalled that he and Bush said to each other, “Can you believe what’s going on?”

“He, like everybody else in America, is taken aback,” Johnson said. He and Bush chewed over the race for 30 minutes, including the rise of Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side. Johnson said Bush told him he thought expectations for his brother, Jeb, were so low that he could rebound by springing a surprise in an early state — a place like South Carolina.

On Monday — Presidents’ Day — Bush will try to help Jeb do just that. After deliberately avoiding politics throughout his post-
presidency, Bush is stepping back into the arena for an evening rally in North Charleston with his brother, the former Florida governor.

David Byrne Blames Social Media for Trump’s Political Rise

With an election where one candidate is a 74 year old Jew who, unlike so many others, doesn’t shy away from the word “revolution” — but who people accuse of idealism; where another candidate could set an important precedent by becoming the first woman president — but who people accuse of defeatist pragmatism; where another candidate is a fascistic reality TV star and real estate tycoon looking after his best interests and another is one of the most terrifyingly fervent evangelicals we’ve seen make it this far in a modern election — everyone seems to be growing increasingly engaged. This election is vastly different than any other, and it’ll likely only grow more heated the closer we get to the end of the primaries. As such, we’re hearing from voices we may not have expected to weigh in on elections — friends we’d formerly deemed apolitical, celebrities we wouldn’t have known cared. The latest voice to contribute to the conversation about the election is David Byrne.

The iconic former Talking Head/current solo artist/nonfiction author penned an essay analyzing the political rise of Donald Trump, who recently won the New Hampshire Republican primary and who’s polling well in South Carolina — where the next primary takes place.

Byrne titled his essay “The Echo Chamber,” based on the very space on which you’re reading it — the Internet, as he’s done in the past — though here he’s aiming his critique predominantly at social media. It seems Byrne’s main point is the Internet’s amplification of extremes, how the false-pluralism of social media — on which people mostly read posts by their friends — may accelerate the extremism that could lead so many people to side with Trump, because “lately it seems that anything that contradicts a passionate belief has become invisible.” His argument is well-stated, if at times somewhat obvious or vague.

One of the more explosive lyrics from Kanye West's 'The Life of Pablo' finds the rapper saying of Taylor Swift on "Famous," "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous." Contrary to reports, Swift does not approve.
