But Julian Castro was right. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       Joe Biden's Incoherence on Healthcare Proved Julian Castro Right at the Democratic Debate   "Anyone who thinks you can retrain thousands of truck drivers," Andrew Yang said, as an exaltation of cameras and boom microphones descended on him, "hasn't been at a truck stop lately. That's why I'm so passionate about the freedom dividends." Ever since the campaign began, the millionaire businessman and former corporate trainer has been trying to buy my vote for $1,000 a month, his so-called "freedom dividend" that is a critical part of his long-shot campaign. On Thursday night, as the third Democratic debate kicked off, Yang upped his offer with an even more inventive twist. Read More           Eddie Money Was An American Underdog. He'll Forever Be a Classic Rock Legend.   There has to have been a time in history when Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise" was a new song, but it feels like something that's existed since the dawn of time.

Most songs on my local radio station (I'm 900 years old) were short, had definitive verses and hooks and didn't make me question my spiritual place in the universe.

Sometimes the only thing that might make it palatable is firing off jokes into the ether. That's exactly what Twitter did tonight as the third Democratic debate took place in Houston. There were stricter benchmarks for candidates to make it here than in the first two rounds: 130,000 individual donors, and at least 2 percent in four different national or battleground-state polls.
