One more thing



And one more thing:

Quisquis huc accedes
Quod tibi horrendum videtur
Mihi amoenum est
Si dilectat maneas
Si taedat abeas
Utrumque gratum

You who come here
Whoever you are
What may seem horrible to you
Is fine for me
If you like it stay
If it bores you go
I couldn’t care less.

And they want to run the country

The people who run the party that wants to run the country are the ones who scheduled the GOP convention on Tampa at the height of the hurricane season. Duh!

    Climate, conception, creationism -- the list of medieval science views goes on and on.

    Yes, a week later, Bill Clinton's speech competes with the opening salvo of the NFL. Lots of poor planners are around in my book...
