@braak: Yes. Which, by the way, costs money, so he's small government and low government spending except for that. He also held up funding for the DC-area Metro system (which has a perennial budget shortage) to force them to spend more than $1 million dollars to update every sign and map in the system to acknowledge… Read more

@youngdumbetc: Bob Barr was a Republican and he is FAR from liberal on social issues, ditto Ron Paul who embraced libertarianism for votes but remains a Republican. Most libertarians are far from liberal: they are generally considered fiscally conservative and socially liberal but plenty of them forget about the… Read more

@BlueLilly: It's not a new law, it's an old one to keep people from electioneering at the polls. They'll apparently be newly applying it. So don't wear anything supporting a candidate. Read more

Also, anyone who was moved by Gretchen Voss's story, she just sent me a link to the follow up one she wrote for Marie Claire and I encourage you to read it. Read more

@NefariousNewt: I'm going to somehow guess that an article that ends with an invitation for a Presidential candidate to sodomize himself with a housepet-sized dildo instead of his own head is probably not eligible. But it's just a guess. Read more

Pictures of David Gest make my legs cross and my hymen grow back. They also make me want to hug Liza and introduce her to my amazing therapist. Read more

@SarahMC, PilgrimSoul: Aw, shucks, but who doesn't sing along to "Ironic" in their head? No one. Read more

@maude_flanders: Getty Images, legally bought and paid for.... Read more

@hillpagan: Um, why do you think I chose the picture? Rose is gorgeous. Read more

@CreoleSugar: Actually, I was raised Catholic and taught CCD. That's what the rite means. Read more

@+: Right, because GOD KNOWS the only poor people in this country are minorities, and there's no evidence whatsoever that banks continued giving subprime loans to minorities even when they had the same qualifications as white people even though that's exactly what happened and, while we're at it, Clinton and Carter… Read more

@Penny_Esq: I got nothing, email me what browser and system you are using and I'll reply with what I wrote. Read more

@touchmyshoe, Dagnabbit., katekate is squared: I've emailed the bugs people, but if you could email me and let me know what operating system and browser you are using, that would be helpful. I will tell you what it says, too. So strange. Read more

@Dagnabbit.: Yeah, refresh the page if you don't see it, I put it up 20 minutes or so ago. It's above the link list. Read more

@Anovelista: Yeah, that's in the update above that I mentioned that people should read. Read more

Also, if you want to be extra-angry, scroll back up and read the update. Read more

@Cam/ron: Right, because this post was about that. Because it's perfectly acceptable to yell "off with his head" about a U.S. Senator and a Presidential candidate if he ever met someone who served his time in prison for leading a left-wing radical organization that intended to destroy property, later became a college… Read more

@PilgrimSoul: I disagree. One speech isn't going to change race relations in this country, and his loss at the polls, if it goes that way, will mean that all his inspiration will be utterly forgotten in a year's time. What change is he going to effect at the junior Senator from Illinois and the failed Presidential… Read more

@Moe: Dude, you totally never have to apologize to me, you know that. Read more

@braak: Yes, I am a bad friend. So sue me. It was that or be the worst sister of all time. And/or not do Bloggingheads. Read more
