That you’re going to have to deal with foreign dignitaries who not only have very different views from you, but who also have very different ideas about what constitutes “polite” and that NOT holding your tongue and temper could have dire consequences for America’s relationships with those other countries?

The Rand Paul campaign so far in a nutshell:

Branding, I’d say. From my understanding, the Tea Party started as a small, fairly inconsequential group opposed to taxes (you know, the sort to hold a sign reading “no taxes” while standing on a street corner built with tax money). At some point—2008-ish, no doubt looking to rebrand after the stinking failure of the…

Actually, say what you want about John McCain, he did not really want Sarah Palin on his ticket. He wanted his buddy Joe Lieberman. He was coerced into consenting to the Palin thing for 1) the conservative vote (eyeroll-worthy, chirpy “mavericks!” soundbites aside, McCain did have a rep for not being a rightwing…

I think even Sarah Palin isn’t stupid enough not to hold onto the vice presidency for dear life when the president’s old enough to have fought in the Crimean War.

Something about resurrecting dead people through holograms is off-putting to me, and I can’t quite pinpoint what.

Yeah, I’ve met some libertarians who are pretty horrified by the way Fox News types have refashioned the term to make themselves sound better. Like, “I’m not a Republican. I’m a libertarian.”

“The thing is about abortion — and about a lot of things — is that I think people get tied up in all these details of, sort of, you’re this or this or that, or you’re hard and fast (on) one thing or the other.”

Wow, that second link makes her comments about her looks here ring pretty hollow.

Freddie Prinze Jr. himself is pretty proud of his Puerto Rican heritage, from what I understand. But hey, more diversity is never a bad thing. As for the remake of a remake thing.../shrug. We’ve been retelling the same stories over and over since we had stories. I take the older stance of, It’s more important to be…

While I agree with your general point (13 and 19 are very different ages), there was a comment from Allen’s friend Jean Doumanian, gushing about the relationship, where she said it started around Satchel (Ronan)‘s birth. That would have been in 1987, when Soon-Yi was about 15. Doumanian could have been wrong, but…
