Santorum!

Out? Nooo! We, the American public (for which I now speak), hardly got to know you!

That sucks. Really. He'd make for a far more interesting opponent than Romney will.

Alabama Shakes

that "...... WAIT!" in the chorus just kills.

We're #1 !

Home Town News

First up, my home town:

Man thrown out of bar for having sex retaliates by biting barman's finger off.

Next, my wife's home town:

A guest at an Ohio wedding wound up in jail charged with assault and intoxicated disorderly conduct. It all began when she refused to stop slow dancing with the groom, which escalated into a brawl with the bride and an attack on an off-duty police officer.

Sweet.
