I never really laughed out loud laugh at his stuff, but when I watch his TV series, some of those episodes are just brilliant film making.

Brilliant

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/07/08/california-is-now-the-second-state-in-which-hispanics-outnumber-whites/

New annual estimates released by the Census Bureau last month confirm that a long-expected California milestone has arrived: There are now officially more Hispanic residents of the state than white ones.

This wouldn't be a Fix post if we didn't note two states that are very far from matching California's milestone: Iowa and New Hampshire.

When will Hispanics outnumber whites in New Hampshire? If the population trends of the last decade hold in the state, not until 2261. No, that's not a typo.

In the meantime, New Hampshire will have helped pick 61 more presidents.

...I have to chuckle (not really, it's more serious that that) every time I see someone ranting about the NYPD being "racist" - Caucasians now constitute less than half of the officers in the NYPD.

it's not as if POC have actually taken over or anything- they have to prove they fit in to keep their jobs.
With very sad results.

way for a political party in a two party state to pick a candidate, not to mention it screws up the entire national discourse on real non-Fox infected issues.
