This could be the greatest thing in the history of the universe.

Please Mormon God let this happen, and please let it be a real event and not a sham where they dance around and pretend to box.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Seriously?  This is not a trick?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah it's mostly a trick.

QuoteHe's not going to run for president for a third time, but Mitt Romney is still in for a bruising fight, but this time it could actually hurt. The former GOP presidential nominee is set to box former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield.

Yes, you read that right. The bout is scheduled for May and the two will get in the ring to raise money for charity, an aide to Romney confirms to ABC News.

The Salt Lake City Tribune first reported the news of the fight and in an interview, Romney told them: "It will either be a very short fight, or I will be knocked unconscious."

"It won't be much of a fight. We'll both suit up and get in the ring and spar around a little bit," Romney said.

The match, scheduled for May 15, is part of a several-bout evening in Salt Lake City to raise money for Charity Vision, a group the Romney family has been active with. They traveled with the group last year to Peru and the 68-year-old former Massachusetts governor just returned from a trip to India with the group.

The charity donates medical equipment to doctors and facilities in poverty stricken areas around the world to aid with the eye surgeries.

One of Romney's sons, Josh, described the evening to the Tribune as a "black-tie event" and said the fundraiser will be "patterned after a 1920s-style event."

"We just thought it would be a lot better to provide this kind of entertainment rather than just have dinner and listen to speakers," the elder Romney said.

I know that failed Presidential canidates often go in strange direction.  Bob Dole sold dick pills, and Al Gore was kidnapped and replaced by his mirror self.

Raz - you forgot the sad and strange case of John Kerry, who keeps growing his chin in a quixotic and doomed effort to claim the Habsburg empire.

I thought that was actually an incredibly courageous thing to do.
