Contrary to popular belief, other humans exist outside the North American Continent. OMG SOURCE PLZ

They might still be that price at Walmart. Amazon.com's got 1-3 for $18 each, and 4 & 5 for $30 each.

Arguments about how unhealthy our diet is would be a lot more convincing if the average life expectancy in America wasn't 78 years old.

Funny how I never gloated about this.

Just because it was in a book, doesn't make it true.

Blah, blah...Warren Harding...blah, blah...

Well, I guess NO ONE has ever danced with the devil by the pale moon light, then, have they?

Yes, but that doesn't mean it was a "piece of shit". It was a fine movie, but just not the movie that the fans had been waiting 20 years to see.

I'm pretty sure Paris Hilton is Pestilence.

**cough**Hubert Humphrey**cough**

I was mad at Wellstone for not running in 2000. Sufficed to say, I was a bit more liberal back then.

Okay...you gotta draw the line somewhere. Snuffbox was probably right about Evan Bayh's early support for Iraq hurting his chances. I really didn't pay attention to it earlier, but the Russ Feingold quote about not supporting anyone who voted for the war is a pretty big "fuck you" to Hillary Clinton. If the Democratic primary voters make Iraq the number one issue and go so far as to withhold support for any and all early supporters of the war, quite a few campaigns are in serious trouble. Here's a list of all the Democratic senators who voted for the war: Max Baucus Evan Bayh Joe Biden John Breaux Maria Cantwell Jean Carnahan Tom Carper Max Cleland Hillary Clinton Tom Daschle Christopher Dodd Byron Dorgan John Edwards Dianne Feinstein Tom Harkin Fritz Hollings Tim Johnson John Kerry Herb Kohl Mary Landrieu Joe Lieberman Blanche Lincoln Zell Miller Bill Nelson Ben Nelson Harry Reid Jay Rockefeller Chuck Schumer Robert Torricelli Against: Daniel Akaka Jeff Bingaman Barbara Boxer Robert Byrd Jon Corzine Kent Conrad Mark Dayton Dick Durbin Russ Feingold Bob Graham Daniel Inouye Ted Kennedy Patrick Leahy Carl Levin Barbara Mikulski Patty Murray Jack Reed Paul Sarbanes Debbie Stabenow Paul Wellstone Ron Wyden

Hey...that'd make us 2 time winners. WATCH OUT FDR!!! WE'RE GUNNING FOR YOUR RECORD!!!!

So noted.

Here's a fun article: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/17/washington/17gingrich.html Burn. I'm sure his Fox News special about God will be good... (wait for it) "...FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!" In other news... http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/blogs/politica...cains-iraq.html I can't wait to find a transcript of this.

So, for those of you just tuning in, here's our contestants: Republicans John McCain Rudy Guiliani Sam Brownback Tommy Thompson Mike Huckabee Mitt Romney Duncan Hunter Tom Tancredo Democrats Tom Vilsack Dennis Kucinich Joe Biden John Edwards Hillary Clinton Bill Richardson John Kerry Chris Dodd Wesley Clark Not Interested in Playing Bill Frist Mark Warner Evan Bayh Al Gore Russ Feingold Howard Dean Tom Daschle Condoleezza Rice Jeb Bush Dick Cheney Coy Little Bastards that Like to Keep Us Guessing Newt Gingrich Barrack Obama Chuck Hagel Al Sharpton

Political Quiz The top headline on CNN's politics page is that John Edwards is getting ready to announce he'll run for president again. This is great news, because: a) there's absolutely no way for John Kerry to run without looking like a huge asshole. b) there'll be yet another person running with better campaigning skills than Hillary Clinton. c) it gives him something to do, since he doesn't actually have a job or anything. d) he can be the white Barrack Obama. Please mark your scantron sheet for the appropriate letter and pass them forward when you finish.

Time's Person of the Year plays for this baseball team I just bought.

They just need to retire the award now. Who is it going to be next year? Them?

I'm sad Gingirch won't be running for the comedy value alone. A disgraced and unpopular former Speaker of the House with a history of broken marriages caused by his infedelity running on a "bring back God" platform? You can't make shit that funny up. He will be missed. You know, if Hillary doesn't run, Bayh and Warner are going to feel like total jackasses. What are the odds of Obama opting not to run? I'd say 50/50, myself.

Thanks for playing.

Shut up. Just shut up. You've just proven you don't know anything, so just shut up. ???????

So I think a Presidential candidate needs to be 'tall, slender, white'? Really? When did I say that, exactly? What I said was: "It'd be a real shame if his appearance effected his prospects, but I'm afraid it will. He'd probably make a great president, and I'd definitely vote for him." NOT the same thing. And did you just say Dukakis looked like a president? THAT Dukakis? On a subconscious level, looking like a president definitely helps you get elected, though. Historically, the taller candidate usually wins. Clinton was taller than Bush Sr., and Bush Sr. was taller than Dukakis. Ford, Truman, and LBJ got the office through inheritance. I don't think FDR (when he used leg braces obviously) was short for his time. Gore actually did win the popular vote. Carter, Nixon, and Kerry are exceptions, obviously. Eisenhower looked more like a president than Stevenson did, but he was Ike, so looks didn't matter because he was already so popular. Reagan and JFK really looked like presidents, and also happen to be the two most beloved presidents of the last half century (could be coincidence, though).
