I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Do they get a pass for being teenage parents at the time? (edit: or, back calculating, I guess they weren't, quite. Just fairly young. Not THAT young. NO PASSES FOR YOU!!!)

Lots of teenage parents managed to not name their kid little Football Smith or Lacrosse Jones.

t edit If I had been a boy, I might have been little Baseball Lang.

Imagine poor Balance Beam Berkowitz.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The WSJ was recently bought out by Murdoch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If I had been a boy, I might have been little Baseball Lang.

Oh come, on. They'd think of a better nickname than that. Baseball is replete with weird nicknames.

Oil Can Lang. Huh?

I am sort of amused that a (I am assuming) conservative Christian named two of her daughters after TV show witches (Willow and Piper). Also, Trig?!? Like Trigonometry? For a child with Down's Syndrome?

If the Democrats are smart the will avoid shooting too much at the new shiny target and aim most of their fire at McCain.

Someone's got to tell Headline makers that "John McCain taps Sarah Palin" has a whole other meaning.

Also, in the past hour I have seen two different Maine tourism ads, both starring...Canadians. (Two guys I know who were roommates back in university.)

Candy, in high school, as a band fundraiser, rocked, because yeah, people did buy it right in class.

At my school the kids aren't supposed to sell candy at campus. It has something to do with the contract the food service has. It's a royal pain, though, to make sure the groups that are selling candy aren't selling it during classes. It's frustrating I always feel like, if they don't want them to sell it on campus, don't approve the fund raiser.
