Some of those injuries are horrific.

OK....I don't have much time to post lately, but these things are hysterical....political spoof ads from Swift kids for truth.

I'm sorry...I must post....

We're almost 45 days out from the Iowa Caucuses and Mike Huckabee is now statistically tied for the lead there on the GOP side. To celebrate I think I'm going to go hang out on a busy intersection and wave signs! I was planning to do so anyway with my local Meetup group anyway!

Okay back to your regularly scheduled program already in progress.

You might prefer that he not win.

Considering both the Democratic and Republican caucuses since this stupid thing began, Iowa has picked 17 candidates. 10 of those selections were not people already president of the United States and only once did one of those 10 go on to win the presidency (George Bush in 2000).

Of the six times they had it easy and picked the guy already president, they still only have three wins.

Consider my intelligence officially insulted: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21818657/

My only question is... what's he trying to cover up with this random act?

Ok, I gotta ask. 17? I am sure there is an interesting reason the number is not even.

The Democratic caucus was established one presidential election cycle earlier (1972 vs. 1976 for the Republican nomination). However, in 17 caucuses they only picked a person 16 times. In the 1976 Democratic caucus Jimmy Carter lost to "None of the above."
