I don't understand it either. If you're Romney and you're trying to look like less of a rich elitist, why align yourself with Trump?

For the same reason that Tom Cruise surrounds himself with tiny people?

I spoke with my mom this weekend and we're talking both about my dad's newly diagnosed blindness, his upcoming cornea transplant (!!!) and the shootings at Chardon High School.

My cousin then sent me a link to this flickr set: [link] It's photos of the hallways and how they have been decorated by surrounding schools in support of that school community.

I am intrigued because I know what's been going on - vigils, human blockades against the Westboro church, and some amazing and beautiful tributes from teams they have played in the week since the shootings. I know of these things because of my mom and cousins and Aunt (who works for the school board). But it makes me wonder if there was a similar outpouring of love and support by surrounding communities after Columbine.

oh, I forgot to ask...people's thoughts on Abilify?

and ita, do you have any mining engineer-types in your family? any surnames campbell?

Romney would be a fucking disaster though. Especially to the middle class and lower economic strata.

Yes. But Santorum would be a fucking disaster for all of America, especially women. I'm not saying I want Romney to win, but he's a much lesser evil than Santorum.

I remember there was a lot.

I think we'll have to take advantage of Bob's Canadian citizenship and expatriate.

I think I'm grandfathered in by my dad's dual citizenship. I need to get my paperwork together, in case.

Depends. Was he born in Canada?

(I'm grandfathered in, on account of being born to Canadian citizens born in Canada, but Lillian does not get to be Canadian through me.)

Cajuns originally came from Canada, right? I wonder if I could apply for asylum based on that.

Kat,

I see your point of view, but given Romney's extreme positions in these primary months, I am not sure he is that different from Santorum at this point. I'm serious.

Cajuns were Acadians, chucked out of the Maritimes for refusing to swear allegiance to the English crown. (And for being Catholic.) (And being friends with the Indians.)

Nowadays, we would say they'd been ethnically cleansed.
