Mayor Mike! I heart him.
But possibly not as much as I heart the Girls of Fug. The entry before the Letter of Fug is awesome as well -- it's (the actors who play) Burke and Addison from Grey's Anatomy with Doogie and Willow.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hey, I get the big square states mixed up -- we're even!
Anyway, Lieberman is indeed an incumbent, and loathesome. The fact that he's getting the vast, vast majority of the R votes in CT says a lot about his true colors, I think.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Hey, what's the deal with the Vermont Senate race? Is there a reason why the Dems aren't running a candidate? I gather the Independent (who's looking good to replace Jeffords) is closer to the Dems than Republicans, but I was wondering what the story was.
Bernie Sanders is Vermont's incredibly popular only Representative, and a Socialist.
He actually secured the Democratic nomination for Senator, but once he got it, he renounced it, just to make sure that no Democrat would run against him. He's a Democrat in every way except in name.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ok, I find that very entertaining. I like Vermont more and more.
In another 'V' state (startiing with V, not overrun with human-devouring lizard-creatures), I bring the news that when George Washington ran for the Virginia legislature in 1758, over 50% of his recorded expenses were for booze. Oh, and in the early 1900s, X-ray glasses (bogus) were offered for sale, prompting a London clothing shop to offer lead-lined women's undergarments in response.

That's funny. I was good with the western states. Could tell you what notches identified what absent of other comparisons. But those weird wiggly ones... that took a bit.

I love that about Bernie.

When I lived in Pennsylvania, bars were closed on election day, so the parties couldn't just round up the drunks and buy their votes for the cost of a drink.

When he was General of the US Army, he didn't draw a salary. But he did submit an infamous expense account to Congress afterwards.
