Forget about incumbents thrown out of office or Republicans losing the House. The biggest loser last Tuesday was Lesia Romanov, a Nevada Democrat who ran for the state assembly. She lost to a man who had died nearly a month earlier.

For Republicans, this may not answer the question, “What would it take for you to vote for a Democrat?” But it pushes the answer into new territory.

You know incivility is becoming a big issue in society when the Girl Scouts sue the Boy Scouts, and it has nothing to do with stealing too many thin mints.

To calm concerns among customers that MoviePass is about to go bankrupt, the company decided to send an email last week purporting to be from a cute little dog named “Chloe, the Director of Barketing.” Chloe basically says she has no idea what’s happening, but she sees a lot of humans working hard to make things better. If this gig doesn’t work out, she might try running for the state assembly in Nevada.

I suppose if anyone could dig up much-needed money for the beleaguered MoviePass, it would be a canine, but I doubt a real director of either barketing or marketing would want to instill a visual image that suggests the company is going to the dogs.
