That's cool, but I'm sorry it was sad. I saw Gov. Hickenlooper at Target one Sunday. Went up and shook his hand, even. Nice guy & I like his politics.

After failing to unite voters, achieve a bipartisan bond, get charges to stick on Hillary, or mend our broken healthcare system, you think these pasty white guys would make good glue?

Or, "Shall We Blather At The (Cuyahoga) River."

Don't give me that. Management will kick him out after 20 minutes.

Um, if you never meant that much to him then why does his crazy new love even *know* about you?

I met Brad Dourif once and he's not *quite* as creepy as his normal self (well, as far as we know) but he still has that kinda serial killer vibe about him. I was just glad a Nick Cave song wasn't playing or I'd have been a bit creeped.

The gist I got was that he said something about me, just ya know being not a big deal. She went snooping on Facebook, realized that "no big deal" was around liking his posts for 2 1/2 years. He can't unexplain that without looking like the asshole.

That's not my damn problem he can't/ won't be upfront with her.

I wish them nothing but continued happiness and success in their spectacular romantic endeavor. It sounds like a great match!

So much for his plan to throw his name into consideration on the 666th ballot. Or maybe he was going to storm out of the building with his 0 followers in protest.

I still don't get why he dropped out of the race. He increased his haul by ten times between Iowa and New Hampshire.

NRA Board Member Jim Gilmore says: “The right to keep and bear arms is a reflection that we as Americans can be trusted to be free.”

His misplaced trust did him in.

I love that movie. The dream sequence is the best one on film, or at least the best in films I've seen.

But Jim Webb wrote all those great songs for Glen Campbell and The Fifth Dimension! Oh, wrong Jim Webb. Got it.

The only thing I ever think of when I hear Jim Gilmore's name is how he got elected Governor with that incredibly stupid but effective campaign bit about NO MORE CAR TAXES. So they kinda did kinda roll them back a bit but then there was some kind of state subsidy offsetting them somehow and then oops! Virginia did need car taxes because of the enormous expenditures needed for roads and other transportation, especially in Northern Virginia. Sure our car tax payments were a bite every year, but kinda the cost of infrastructure (another thing a lot of people think appears like magic). Lost respect for Gilmore forever after that.
