lol, Alan Grayson is a great Democrat.

Of course, I feel he's off base about what Americans want (healthcare reform) but the rest of his points are solid.

I don't always agree with him, but he is pretty entertaining and he occasionally makes some good points.

Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

Man, if spicy mustard was a more frequent option I'd certainly use it on burgers more often.

Hell, at home, if we have it, it's still usually the same brand the generic yellow stuff comes in. Does anyone seriously think French's Brown Mustard is Grey Poupon?

Thats dumb. I only use mustard, too. Why add ketchup? Thats what a slice of tomato is for.

But whats that about mayo? Sounds gross, imo.

For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

I've always hated the 'trickle down' metaphor.  It makes me think that rich people are peeing on us middle-class folks, and golden showers are never a good idea unless you're being showered with gold coins.

It's funny because another name for the concept is the "horse and sparrow theory". The idea is that if you feed the horse enough oats.... nah.. it's funnier if I let you ask google for an explanation.

The pundits and politicians stopped talking about trickle down theory altogether at this point, as certain elements of the right sought to eliminate the appearance of a wealth disparity altogether in a David Copperfield-esque performance.

So there are no "rich" or "poor" people anymore, just "job creators" and "soon to be rich". Punishing "Job Creators" with regulation and taxes will simply make it that much harder for you when you become one of'em.

Peace, Love, and Tranquility

Usually, the idea of a parody is to take something true and push it to the extreme. Only the first one is doing it right.

Apparently you don't remember the last election very well.

I don't Remember Obama sprouting 9/11 and AIDS conspiracy theories and the support for the Afghanistan was has always been higher then for Iraq. It has nothing to do with Obama.

That last one made me sigh in sadness. Not surprise, though. Just sadness.
