"When I was a kid - 12, 14, around there - I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn't play ball, I couldn't dance... So, I started to draw and to write. I was... lucky that I didn't have anyone to copy, be impressed by. I had developed my own style, I was creating before I knew there was a Thurber, a Benchley, a Price and a Steinberg. I never saw their work till I was around 30." - Anna Haro

The Missing Piece is a favorite of my sons. - RAPatton

That map shouldn't scare anyone...it's means that progress is ahead...as opposed to another 4 years of regression. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

I hope it means progress is ahead. There's still an awful lot of red. Nice to see hope shining through in Jesusland though. - Chris Messina

I'm enjoying looking through the polls and such - interesting to find out who's polling what, and what that means in the bigger picture. I like the simulation run graph better :-) Its all those 'big land, small population' states that are scary on that map. - Justin Hart

"Have you ever considered just how funny a lot of movies could be, if only the producers had cast Muppets instead of humans? I mean, if you think the Terminator movies couldn't get any more awesome, imagine them with Animal playing Schwarzenegger's role. Hear Animal saying "Come with me if you want to live" in your head, and try not to laugh. Now that you've got the idea, here are ten cast lists for movies (including that one) that would be made awesome or even more awesome by the replacement of the core actors with Muppets:" - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
