I work with a guy named Noah and one of my bartenders is named Seth.

If I ever have a male kid, I'm gonna name him Chaim or Noach.  Love that voiceless uvular fricative.

I'm going to cut $20,000 from my expenses this year.  I'll double-fold my toilet paper instead of triple-folding it before wiping, I'll buy antibiotic-full eggs instead of organic, etc., etc.  And that's just in the first year!

I liked him too, until he turned from being a protest candidate to being a candidate taken seriously, and a candidate whose ideas zombify countless youths.  Then he and his cult started really, really scaring me, mainly due to their limitless ability to completely ignore the reality.

I like Ron Paul the best of the Republicans.  He's not evil, only mad.

"Is likeable" and "would make a good president" are, as we learned with GWB, not of necessity correlated.

And how.  I think Andrew Sullivan said his favourite thing about Ron Paul is his walk and I think I'm the same.  If you ever watch one of the debates its always great because all of the other candidates have big-swinging-dick-Alpha-male walks - it's all very 1950s - and then you get Ron Paul who just has this diffident shuffle onto the stage.  It's wonderful and in many ways I always think it a more assured and confident statement than the rest.

But I can barely stand anyone I actually agree with.  I almost always find conservatives more likeable - in the US at least, over here there's noone with enough personality to like.

Oh, well, let's trade places then, since Britain is sooooo boring.

Paul wants his ideas to speak for him instead of his own personal charisma, and you're right - that is in some ways admirable and definitely likable.

It'd be better if Paul never made any good points; he makes just enough of them in a very general sense (Hey guys, we're overextended in foreign conflict and foreign aid. Hey guys, our spending and revenue don't match each other very well. Hey guys, don't only blame the market for the current mess, the gov't has done its fair share of fucking up the process too.) to lend an unwarranted air of credibility to his specific points, which tend more often than not to be batshit.

Kinda repugnant that the mother clearly forced the boy to do that.

And the words of the English language finally lost all meaning.  "Repugnant"?  Come on.

I think it's pretty repugnant and I think Michelle comes across very well.
