Visiting with a somewhat liberal acquaintance of mine over coffee, while he was grumbling about the current budget hoopla. He is coming to the realization that political debate closely resembles two five-year-olds screaming 'nuh-uh' at each other. I said "Look, President Obama is a genius, he went to Harvard. President Bush was a moron, he went to. . . Harvard. I'M ASSURED THERE'S A DIFFERENCE!"

I'm afraid that coffee may've shot outta' the ears of the fella sittin' behind us.

Yeah, I'm goin'ta Hell, but it'll be fun.
