Need to Know

I do greatly miss The Young Guns.

People please, we're being distracted from the finale's true travesty:

Dr. Clarkson's romantic pursuit of Mrs. Crawley. Outrageous!

Just for anecdotal kicks from Portland:

The only lawn signs on our street are two for Romey and two for the Republican state senate challenger and one for Ron Paul (these five are spread over four total yards).

We're new to Portland so I can't compare to what it looked like in '08, but I've definitely seen more Romney bumper stickers downtown than  I ever would have expected based purely on the town's reputation.

Praying here, too.

As a son of Orange County, CA I must contend that the Boysenberry edges out its grandfather in the categories of  Sweetness, Pie Filling, and in number of theme parks engendered. 

John Durant had an interesting take on the list; that its purpose is " to comfort single women who are coming to grips with their sexual power slipping away." 

He suggests that a male counterpart list would encourage men who have moved from a higher social status to a lower one to face their situation head on, and that Kipling's poem "If" fits the bill.

Plus, he throws in a comparison to Steve Martin's "The Jerk", which is always a win.
