Laugh all we may about Clint Eastwood's unscripted speech at the RNC but the crowd loved him. That's all that matters.
Not at all -- the people in the room are not enough voters to win the election.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And frankly, the people in that room were going to vote for him anyway.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I didn't mean, "all that's needed to win", I meant, "all that matters about the speech as far as Repubs are concerned". The Dems takeaway from that speech is that it was a ridiculous mistake. The Repubs takeaway, at least from what I saw of those in attendance, was "Whoo-hoo It's Clint! He's Making Fun of Obama! Whoo-Hoo Make My Day!" No one is changing their minds based on Clint.

I don't leave AMA often, but I've never had a visit not covered by insurance because of it.

ita the graham crackers are delish. I am ok with grace being admitted to the floor but not to Santa Monica. I would prefer they transfer her to Huntington especially since her pulmonologist probably won't see her since it is garden variety pneumonia.

Wait? But what about turning over the country to the UN? How are these dastardly plans going to coincide?

As long as it was a white male empty chair.
Five Thirty Eight is always going to be weird to me because I was chatting to Nate Silver on baseball stat nerd blogs ten years ago.

Crack! I grab them by the fistload, and take some home with me.
Why are they insisting on transferring her? Is it a bed space issue?
