Todd, I'm not too sure what you are referring to, but I have heard that McCain's one arm doesn't work well due to an injury sustained when he was in the Navy (not sure if it was one of his many crashes or the POW thing).

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Does Aimee know you were there last night?
I did, and am accepting donations to fund my NYC Stalking Trip.
Fund a criminal! Send me to NYC!

Speaking of, Emily, do you need me to chat with your student?
Only if you're willing for your head to explode. This is the same one that thought illegal immigrants should be shot as terrorists.
You know, it makes me feel anachronistic, but I really appreciate it.
Erin, me too. Some of the kids here say "ma'am," and it always makes me a little more kindly inclined toward them. It may not actually denote respect, but it sure feels like it.
I used to think -- before I taught high school -- that this was perfectly right and reasonable, but I have completely changed my mind.
WORD. And I DID call my teachers by their first name, all the way from third grade through college. But I let students call me by my first name when I was doing my classroom assisting, and I will never make that mistake again.

“Not dead yet!”
Fund a criminal!
I thought that's what the bailout plan was for.

It's what I *could* do if I get to NYC.

The status is NOT quo.
My political f-you moment this morning was when I heard on NPR that McCain had written off all of Republican Palin's critics as "Georgetown cocktail party people."
You know what, FUCKO? All those "regular Americans" you keep talking about? Some of them have opinions, too. And yes, sometimes those opinions are not favorable. Seriously, dude. STFU.

It's like he's TRYING to alienate his guaranteed voters. I say go ahead, old man. Go ahead.

Stephanie, what I'm talking about was a while ago and I'm fuzzy on the details. There was an Obama ad, I believe, about McCain being out of touch with the world we live in now and finished up with a line, "why, he's never even sent an e-mail". A McCain spokesman said that McCain could not use a computer because of a war wound. I can't remember when, who, etc. - I remember being surprised no one here commented on it, but I've been swamped with work and skipping and skimming a lot.
