Barack Obama is a Kenyan Muslim vampire.

If I could buy that book, my debit card would light on fire on account of how quickly I swiped it at the register.

Aw, Sal and Ken are never going to happen, but it's nice to dream...

sizequeen August 31 2009, 22:13:57 UTC

My dream is that Sal goes into one of those super-sekrit gay bars of the 60's and seen KEN at the end of the bar. Ken is such a freaking mystery! You can do anything with him.

dallowayward August 31 2009, 22:18:09 UTC

But he's Ken.... ~KEN COSGROVE~.

I'd say it's unlikely, mostly due to the fact that he looked totally freaked out when the Sweedish (?) guy told them all he was gay last season.

sizequeen August 31 2009, 22:23:37 UTC

Sal looked freaked out, too... It is unlikely to happen on the show, but I think there's enough wiggle room for slash.

Well, he might not be too pleased to hear it, but he really is the only conservative writer I like. I miss his columns. He's writing a book, I think? I wanted to like George Will but his climate change column was too much.

I like Kathleen Parker sometimes. Also, one of my friends ran into George Will at a Barnes & Noble a few years back, and said he was trying to haggle the price of some discount book he was trying to buy. That was in the mid- or late-nineties, and ever since, I haven't been able to take him seriously because all I see is a guy in a bowtie with a weirdly round haircut haggling with some bored minimum wage earning kid.

That's hilarious. When I worked in a grocery store people would try to pull the same thing.

I had people come in with coupons for completely different stores, trying to use them. Why do people do that? It goes beyond cheap, possibly even beyond entitled.

The crease in his pantleg? That's almost as good as Abraham Lincoln's perfect man-thighs.
