    To be honest I just thought of Bar-Bar off the top of my head. The Babar connection came later after Mistuhbull mentioned it.

    Right, which is why I said "presided over" rather than "caused" or other words. In any case, he did issue the order to start giving gay marriage licenses.

    I have to say I really do like Gary Johnson, it's unfortunate he's not the "name brand" Libertarian like Paul.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    I know. I checked out his website where he has his stance on important issues and he's leagues better than Ron Paul. It upsets me that we have people who are so vocal and adamant about Ron Paul getting the Republican nomination that they aren't acknowledging the alternatives.

    Just brings me back to despising this godawful party system we have.

    Because Facebook came through, I present Mittens the Elephant



    @Grokan: Yeah it is a shame, but the only way our two-party system can be fixed is if we try.

    That and I feel perfectly fine with my "protest" vote since I know Mittens isn't taking Cali anyways
