GOP will demand 'oath' of February primary voters →
The State Board of Elections on Monday approved a state Republican Party request to require all who apply for a GOP primary ballot first vow in writing that they’ll vote for the party’s presidential nominee next fall. How the hell is this legal? Not that they’ll be able to know if someone doesn’t vote Republican in the general election. (Found on Balloon Juice)

Finally, a little honesty by a politician. Here’s Romney’s response:“On the other hand if we’re running for president, I think it’s important for us not to go into details about the weaknesses and our own failings as young people for the concern that we open kids thinking that it’s ok for them.” Bwahaha! If my kids are looking to Romney as a role model...

Click through and read what he has to say. — nostrich I’m not sure he makes any valid points. Tumbling isn’t for him, so he’s taking his ball and going home. Others find value in this and will...

Drinking a can of Pepsi: ***** (of 5) Reminds me of summers at Doug Fulton’s house. I don’t drink these often. Can is crucial. — dalasverdugo During my high school summers me and my friend, John, used to play golf (poorly) at this old nine-hole course in Winter Park. There were no carts and it was always hot as hell. After finishing we would retire to the clubhouse, where they had...

Mashed Potatoes
We’re having a potluck Thanksgiving lunch at work today. I made mashed potatoes. I peeled and cut 5 - 6 pounds of potatoes. Boiled them in heavily salted water. While they were boiling I simmered a pint of buttermilk, a cup of heavy cream, a half stick of butter, and 5 cloves of garlic. When the potatoes were done I drained them, returned them to the pot, and mashed them with enough of...
Thanks nostrich. I’m really enjoying Rich Girls by the Virgins.

Book a trip to NYC, Mr. Tebow →
Damn straight. He probably won’t win because he’s a sophomore, but damn is he good. How many quarterbacks routinely run over linebackers? And can throw with pinpoint accuracy. To be young and Tim Tebow.
Dog Tired
Man, am I beat. Spent the day on hands and knees prepping the floor of one room for laminate flooring. Will be worth it when it’s done, but manual labor sucks.
