Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Also, sequel to PvZ? Awesome. I actually deleted the app from my iphone and then reloaded so I could have the thrill of hitting all the achievements again. I'm currently being stymied by the 3 diamonds in slot machine. that's my least favorite minigame.

IORelatedNews, I will be 40 also...in 2 days!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

they don't want something that will draw more liberals to the polls.

This makes sense to me!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ryan and Akin are of pretty like minds on this, so it also has the potential to shine a light on something that doesn't fit the aw schucks image he/the media are trying to craft.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had to tell a coworker -- who has worked here a long time -- that when I say something snarkily, that is not precisely how I want him to write it up for the official report. Seriously, dude? You did not know that until just now??

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Paul Ryan is like opie of the damned. Man, just ascend already. Lawrence O'Donnell thinks that Romney got Swiss bank account amnesty.(He used a lot more words than that, as always.)

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Ftr, despite copping to voting for Nixon, I don't think Ron Howard would do any of that other stuff. But it seems to me with the checked shirts and making sure you look everyone in the eye and all that, that is what he is trying to evoke. That nice paperboy you tip at Christmas that suddenly turns on you when you get groped by another paperboy,

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Erika,

(forgive me for getting into Romney's lack of producing tax returns), I know Lawrence O'D thinks Romney took the Swiss account bank amnesty - but is that a big enough problem NOT to release taxes? It seems like there would be other problems in there for them to take all these heat.

I think Reid is on to something. I think Romney's tax rate is very very low. Perhaps not actually zero, but very very low. I would not be surprised if he paid under 10% or under 5%.

So I think the following: a) his unexplainable IRA being hundreds of millions of dollars. How the fuck did he manage that? b) the Swiss amnesty c) the (presumably) low paid tax rate; d) most of his money is likely overseas. I don't know what I think about the address shenanigans when he was trying to establish residency in MA to run for governor. He amended his taxes, so I assume he took care of that shit, so I can't think that is the heart of it.

I will never understand why he didn't clean up his finances in recent years since he has been running for president forever. You give me a 3-4 year heads up and I could clean up just about anything.
