Me: Did you hear that the Romney's welcomed their 22nd grandchild today?
Him: Yeah, so...why should you care?
Me: He's adopted.  And adorable. And a child of color.

Listen birdmaddgirl and x_hj_x, this is going to be one heck of a hockey play-off series.  How about a wager??

So, here's the deal: if any of you have ( Read more... )
