For a moment I thought that said SQL, and then I remembered that's a little advanced for a machine of Mittbot's generation.

I score him in the low 20s on the <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hare_Psychopathy_Checklist" target="_blank">Hare checklist</a>, using my special Bill Frist remote diagnosis powers. 30 is a diagnosis; 25 is enough to categorize you as a psychopath for research purposes.

Yes, more time with Ann would be an appropriate punishment for Mitt inflicting us with more of her on our teevee machines.
