Also left off Avril Lavigne. Shudder.

In our defense.... oh, fuck it. His existence is indefensible.

After watching Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter last night (and what truly baaaad film that is, also, too) I'd have to say- vampires. That's the only explanation.

Damn. Better wait until I get home from work to google that one.

That would be the Chuck Todd who declared it is not his job to tell us when people are lying, wouldn't it?

Sadly, his birth was covered under Medicare.

Well the good news is that there were only ever two Nickelback songs I ever heard often enough to be able to be irritated by remembering them. One of them I forget the name, the other, Photograph, has apparently been displaced in my memory by The Tears song Autograph, seemingly on account of sharing the same last syllable. Oh, and also on account of The Tears producing music I <em>want</em> to remember.

It is just so very silly. And I guess that as an historian, and one who especially loves Gore Vidal's Lincoln, I just keep rolling my eyes over the wild historical inaccuracies. The same reason I can't stand Gladiator (although I loved Oliver Reed in that) and Braveheart, and couldn't bring myself to watch The Patriot. And I know it's not supposed to be real history, but for me the graphic gore isn't a compensation. But hey, someone who likes vampires and that stuff might quite like it. So don't take my word for it, YMMV.

Dead horse is dead, but still worth some fund-raising letters.

If the Repubicans are so sure the Affordable Care Act will be a failure, they should vote to officially change its name to "Obamacare", then stand back and watch the Demoncrats trip on their own shoelaces. If they're sure. Otherwise, methinks they protest too much.

Woah, he DOES look like McCarthy! I never noticed that before. Explains a lot.
