Hillary Clinton recently made an intriguing statement about pro-life women that surprised both conservatives and liberals.
Women can “absolutely” be pro-life and feminist, Clinton told co-host Candace Cameron-Bure on ABC’s “The View” last week.
“The End of the Tour” is a wistful, meandering look at the last few days of late author David Foster Wallace’s 1996 Infinite Jest tour. Wallace (played by Jason Segel) has arrived—at least in the eyes of reporter David Lipsky, who wrote a book in 2010 about the road trip.
“He wants something better than he has; I want precisely what he has already,” Lipsky (as played by Jesse Eisenberg) says in the film. Lipsky wants to be “the most talked-about writer in the country”—while Wallace simply wants to find purpose, something that success, critical acclaim and celebrity haven’t been able to give him.

Contested/open/brokered convention, here we come!
So what will a GOP contested convention look like? We thought “Mean Girls” could explain it best.
I had hazy memories of oceanside towns like Newport News and Monterey, of lapping waves and soothing cyan as far as the eye could see. But by 2001 I was a resident of landlocked Memphis, Tenn. The heat and mosquitoes forced me indoors most of the time, where I discovered water all over again on the Nintendo GameCube.
