Was he born in Canada?
Yes, he was born and grew up in Toronto. My grandfather was working for the Canadian branch of his company.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

This really is a terrifying election. I don't understand what the Republicans are thinking AT ALL. I mean, I didn't like Reagan, I didn't like Bush Sr, but I understood how one could honestly believe they'd be good for the country. But what's happening now? I just don't get it.

Fielding a relatively sane and respectful candidate four years ago didn't work, so why not run a bunch of assclowns and see if one of them catches the zeitgeist?

Well, I dunno how sane & respectful McCain is: the only reason he got the nomination last time is he swung hard right after losing in 2000 (to some serious dirty tricks including rumormongering of miscegenation in South Carolina), and he's now out there bloviating about how we need to take a hard line with Iran.
WTF, people. We DO NOT WANT ANOTHER WAR. WTF.
I think Romney has a better chance of being elected, because he's not a terrifying ideologue like Santorum. But that also means he's less likely to get us all killed. On the other hand, his lack of ideologue-ness means the wingnut base won't vote for him, so he could still lose the nomination, despite all the money he's throwing at it.

Yeah, I mean sure compared to Bachman, Santorum and Gingrich, but that's damning with faint praise.

Consuela, I think that the key word in Matt's post was "relatively"

msbelle - I took Abilify on top of Celexa or Lexapro. At first it made me a little hypomanic, as in more productivity urge than I'd ever had before. I made envelopes from a calendar while visiting my grandparents, because I needed to do something. Ultimately and contrdictorily, it made me sleep a lot. As in, dozing off in front of my computer at work and more than once in one on one meetings with my supervisor. So there's some anecdata for you.

I know of at least two people who voted for Santorum in Ohio yesterday: one a really far lefty who thinks there's no way Santorum can win a national election, but thinks Romney might (and also finds sowing chaos hilarious), and one of my student workers who thinks Santorum is a wonderful guy because of his strong support of Israel. Which just goes to show you never know what makes an individual vote. In my district, which is upscale and politically mixed, the only people with signs I saw were supporting Santorum, so his grassroots is decent.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think I'm grandfathered in by my dad's dual citizenship. I need to get my paperwork together, in case.
My grandfather was Canadian, but that's not enough to get me dual citizenship. I need to find someone to marry, just in case.

I'm not 100%, but I don't think marrying a Canadian helps you with immigration the same way it does for the US.
