Yeah I first noticed it in a _p submission and I was like "... did they do that special or is that how cuts look now? ~_o"

OMFG! I've had a crush on him since 2006, seriously.

What a guy. Heroism like that, and then to downplay it. I've never heard of him before but I am impressed with his humility and class.

Look him up. He's a great mayor, for real.

[shukivengeance]

You bet I will, this has already restored some of my faith in humanity. =) He is the kind of man who needs to be president.
