Link Roundup: March 5, 2016

   

Another week, another set of links. You know the drill.

Politics

  * [Big Mother is Watching You: Hillary Clinton](http://titsandsass.com/big-mother-is-watching-you-hillary-clinton/) -- What's Hillary Clinton's record like with regard to the treatment of sex workers? Not good.
  * [Travis County GOP apoplectic over new chairman](http://www.texastribune.org/2016/03/02/newly-elected-gop-chair-texas-capitol/) -- Notorious scumbag Robert Morrow somehow got himself elected chair of the GOP in Travis County, Texas. Poor Republicans.

  * [South London pub holds a "Republican urinal challenge" -- but who is winning?](http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2016/02/29/republican-urinal-challenge-for-trump/) -- All of them probably deserve to have their mouths pissed in, really.
  * [Why South Carolina may be the first of many big losses for Bernie Sanders](http://www.vox.com/2016/2/27/11128240/south-carolina-primary-sanders-clinton-polling) -- In contrast to the link above, many Democratic voters are already committed to Clinton, so will Sanders be able to pull enough away to win future primaries?
  * [Tone poem for the "leave it there" press](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jay-rosen/leave-it-there-press_b_8739698.html) -- A critique of a media culture that refuses to ask difficult questions or take responsibility for the culture it creates.
  * ["Not even my wife knows": secret Donald Trump voters speak out](http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/03/secret-donald-trump-voters-speak-out) -- These people speak for themselves.
