i'm sure i'm not the first to think this but whenever i think of paul ryan - which i try not to do - i keep thinking of little lord fauntleroy.

i'd love to put him in that foppish velvet suit.

and then throw eggs at him.

gah. now i have to go bleach my soul with shine a light or johnny depp or something.

Well, if you're raped in the bum you're very unlikely to get pregnant, perhaps that's the only "legitimate rape" there is then...

<i>"We’re going to have an election in 2012; the country will choose between two different visions; if we Republicans win, we’ll be able to reform Medicare our way and reduce the debt our way."</i>

Really? Because losing really doesn't seem to ever keep the Republicans from trying to claim a mandate from the people (i.e. "we lost because we weren't conservative enough" or "this isn't the change people voted for").

I highly recommend the wonderful documentary "In the Shadow of the Moon." Neil Armstrong is a remarkable presence in that film considering he wasn't willing to be interviewed.

Apparently he became an almost complete recluse after his experienced walking on the Moon.

I highly recommend watching this one - particularly since we've now lost Mr. Armstrong.
