[CNN's Chris] CUOMO: Let me ask you, do you think that Donald Trump is qualified to be president? CLINTON: No, I do not, and I think in this past week, whether it’s attacking Great Britain, praising the leader of North Korea, a despotic dictator who has nuclear weapons, whether it is saying pull out of NATO, let other countries have nuclear weapons, the kinds of positions he is stating, and the consequences of those positions, and even the consequences of his statements are not just offensive to people, they are potentially dangerous. CUOMO: How so?

FFS she just said "how so."

But just stop and consider this fact about the American campaign that's taking place right now. You had two Cuban Americans in the Republican Party, running against the legacy of a black man who is President, while arguing that they’re the best person to beat the Democratic nominee who will either be a woman or a Democratic Socialist. (Laughter and applause.) Who would have believed that back in 1959?

President Obama in Cuba a few weeks ago. Good one.

I’ve been treated very, very badly by The Washington Post, but, you know, I guess — and I’m your neighbor, I’m your neighbor right down the road, in fact we’re actually giving a press conference there in a little while, I think your people are going to be there. And by the way, Bob Costa is an excellent reporter, I’ve found him to be just an excellent reporter. I should tell you, because I have to give you the good and the bad. Not that he does me any favors, because he doesn’t, but he’s a real professional. So we’re having a news conference today in the new building that’s going up, and the building is very much ahead of schedule, because it was supposed to open two years from September, and we’re going to open it in September. We could open it actually sooner but we’re going to break it in a little bit, so we’re going to open it in September, and it’s under budget, even though we’ve increased the quality of the finishes substantially, marble finishes, very high quality of marble, so we’re under budget and ahead of schedule.

178 words—for most speakers, about 60 seconds—take you from “You’re treating me very, very badly” to “very high quality marble finishes.”

This is about 2 paragraphs into the transcript of Donald Trump’s meeting with the Washington Post editorial board this week. I can’t seem to read much further.)

I watch TV news. I know that only total pricks get ahead in today's America.

So that's it: I'm not using turn signals anymore. Just watch: if enough people flip me off, I can win the Mississippi primary.

Yep, that was House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich (R-Ohio) along with Rep. Gary Condit (D-Calif.) at the Foo Fighters gig at the 9:30 club Wednesday night. Kasich is a fan of the pop-punk-hardcore band and its frontman, singer and guitarist Dave Grohl, whose father and the congressman bonded last summer at the Republican National Convention.

From the July 11, 1997 Washington Post. I remember reading this at the time and thinking it was weird.

Favorite albums of 2015 from a guy who gets up early and works with earbuds in every morning

Not a lot of surprises on this list, but maybe you'll find something new that's worth hearing.

Grimes: Art Angels - a 27-year-old from Canada wrote, produced, and played most instruments on a record that I must've listened to 100 times in November. Standout tracks: "California," "Flesh Without Blood," "Artangels," "Realiti."

Beach Slang: The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us - the first full-length album from a Philadelphia band, headed by a guy nearly my age, that sounds like a cross between the Replacements and Japandroids. Standout tracks: "Throwaways," "Bad Art & Weirdo Ideas," "Too Late To Die Young."

Jamie XX: In Colour - mostly instrumental compositions from a DJ/producer who is also a member of the British band The XX. Standout tracks: "Gosh (great video)," "Hold Tight," "Loud Places."

Kendrick Lamar: To Pimp A Butterfly - some failed experiments make this 75-minute record hard to listen all the way through, but when it works it'll stop you in your tracks. Standout tracks: "These Walls," "How Much a Dollar Cost."

Courtney Barnett: Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit - stick-in-your-head songs from an Australian indie rocker. "Depreston" is the best song about gentrification I've ever heard. Standout tracks: "Elevator Operator," "Depreston," "Dead Fox (great video)."

Kacey Musgraves: Pageant Material - third album from Texas alt-country singer-songwriter. Standout tracks: "Dime Store Cowgirl," "Miserable."

Jason Isbell: Something More Than Free - another good alt-country record; sometimes boring, though "24 Frames" is astonishing. Standout track: "24 Frames (great video)," "The Life You Chose."

Titus Andronicus: The Most Lamentable Tragedy - straight-up indie rock from the New Jersey suburbs (Glen Rock). Standout tracks: "Fired Up," "Fatal Flaw," "Dimed Out (great video)."

Deerhunter: Fading Frontier - not Bradford Cox and Co.'s best, but still awfully good. Their poppiest. Standout tracks: "All the Same," "Breaker," "Snakeskin."

Tobias Jesso Jr: Goon - pop ballads that recall Wings-era Paul McCartney. Standout tracks: "Without You," "Can We Still Be Friends."

And a few great tracks from albums that didn't quite make my list:

"Maggie I've Been Searching For Our Son" by Craig Finn

"Pretty Pimpin (great video)" by Kurt Vile

"Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd

"High" by Royal Headache

"Warm Like Summer" by Braids

"'Cause I'm A Man" by Tame Impala
