Why do we act like this really conservative guy is some sort or eccumenical pope?
Shiny, shiny hair.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

There's been bad blood between Carter and Clinton for a long time, though if reports of an outright snub are true, I'd be surprised.

Yeah, Graham always bugged me.
And, again, let me apologize for writing the "j-word". I did not mean to offend, I simply wasn't thinking about how it would sound outside my head.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
To be fair, while Graham (understandably, given his calling) seems to feel that Christian worship and prayer are the solution to every problem whether metaphysical or tangible, I don't recall him ever being accusatory or singling out any group of people for judgement. In fact, I quite clearly recall him counseling people that it was God's place to judge and not theirs. He was on TV quite a bit when I was growing up in the South, and I don't think I ever got the feeling that he was an enemy.

It was pretty obvious when all three couples bottlenecked before being announced and there was some standing and chatting. Clintons and Bushes were all huggy. Carters and Bushes shook hands. Clintons and Carters - no acknowledgment of each other.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Welcome back, Science!
He basically said that in his speech -- something like "Restore science to its rightful place," something something.
My stuffy lawfirm gathered in our great room. Most of the time we reined in our personal reactions -- but on that one there was audible glee.

The speech in general was littered with stiletto jabs at the Bush administration, I thought - nicely done.
