Well, yeah, if you don't count "And Your Bird Can Sing."

I understand the other side. I just find their political philosophy to be infantile. It boilds down to "Taxes Bad - Freedom Good!" That's not an informed thought. How do you have a reasonable argument with someone when that maxim is not just their starting position, but their only position?

Neil Patrick Harris is pretty high in the running.

No shit, Breakfast.

Caine was on NPR's Fresh Air today talking about his memoirs. I can't tell if Underfold was trying to be cliquey and friendly or mean-spirited and snarky. I'll just believe the former because it's more pleasant.
