Save a damsel from a tower?

There are plenty of corporate towers with wage slaves within. That might count.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Hrm, that is an idea...

Nah. I'll just contribute profound insights to science in the field of neurology and longevity. It seems easier.

Being Canadian gives little advantage in gaining us a british knighthood, and actively prevents us from gaining a british lordship -- see Lord Conrad Black, Baron of Crossharbour.

The Wisconsin senate race is getting interesting.  The Republicans have a four way primary, and the moderate Tommy Thompson was leading for a good amount of time, but a recent PPP poll has shown more conservative candidate Eric Hovde taking the lead: Link.

Current WI-2 representative Tammy Baldwin is running for the Democrats.  If Thompson wins the primary, this is most likely a Republican win because of his moderate credentials and good will from him being Governor of the state some years back; but if a more conservative candidate wins, this race moves purely into tossup territory.

Apparently the "Principality" of Sealand will sell you a "Title of Nobility" for like $50, but I guess that's enough of that derail.

So, it turns out my representative Shelly Berkley is being investigated by the House Ethics committee. This is unfortunate, because it means she'll probably lose the Senate race and I actually like the way she's voted on things.

I think the point is to go there and say things that get him votes elsewhere.

Probably something a bit less trollish would've worked out better for him.

"President Obama constantly speaks of Obamacare as if the good it is doing is his invention, but in reality it is nothing more than a legislative copy of Romneycare, which was my work of genius alone! Can you trust a man who would steal a successful program from his opponents and put his own name on it, like so many dishonest students do to their fellow's homework? No, you cannot. Vote Romney."

Damn I'm good. I should get Romney to make me his speech writer.

1. Obama takes your vote for granted, because it's expected that "Hey, you're black! We know who you're voting for..."
2. And he likes teh gays. (Seriously, this is an effective wedge issue in many African-American communities.)

His fathers name is George W. Romney?

Why have I not heard jokes about this? That's ripe pickings!
