I find them rather soothing myself - even the Francophones sound lyric to me. But then I am an amateur anthropologist and linguist, so languages, dialects, & accents are a delight of mine.

At this point I'm almost (but not really) wishing Romney would get elected just so I can laugh at what a miserable failure he'd be at keeping his own ridiculous promises of balancing the budget and getting that 4% growth rate, without ever raising taxes or blaming his predecessor for the problems he inherited.

Truman? Admittedly, his business experience was mostly failing at it.

Well, the names Ginsburg and Breyer come to mind. I don't have to love Bubba, or ignore his flaws, or particularly like the DLC, in order to remember that it seemed pretty fucking important at the time that the Democrats win a fucking Presidential election, and it was pretty obvious in 1992 that that wasn't going to be done by a genuine liberal.

Well, if he sold off parts of the US to China, he would definitely lose his bonus from the people who elected him. However, he would more than make up the loss through the kickbacks from China. Hey, don't get pissy you proles...it's just business, nothing personal.

Great photo! Just last week I saw Ole Newt. He was quite upset.

So off his game, he put the wrong color polish on my shoes.

When I worked for the county government, they wanted to create a bonus/incentive for employees to save money. If we found a cheaper way to do or buy something, we'd get a share of the difference. Hooray for us! Except that meant we didn't do our diligence when we asked for the appropriation. Or we were shortchanging the taxpayers by not doing something well (or at all). Because of incentives. So the idea fizzled.

Congress doesn't need incentives ("bribes") to do their job. Perhaps they need balls. Like the ones Mitt used to skip Vietnam.
