Waiting for McCain to fall off the stage at a rally. Just a matter of time. Check.
Funny stuff, Todd. Except counting Clinton as "hip" sort of puts you in that "hiked-up-pants" category yourself. I bet the kids you ref at soccer laugh behind your back at how you think you're "hip".
PS: Man, why do you keep making your annoying popups get worse? Yeah, yeah, I know you'll say it's not your fault it's squarespace's or something. Guess what...you're the one in control. It's kind of like how when I keep slamming my head with the car door I blame Ford. It's a typical liberal attitude I'm trying to fix...and take credit (or blame) for the incidents myself. This, my fuzzy liberal friend, is why you get like 2 comments a day on your blog.
Grud:
I'm so hip on the soccer pitch that even with my black ref socks pulled up to my ya-yas, the kids go, "that's one cool old guy." ;)
And in 1992, Clinton was cool. Remember the shades and the saxaphone? I'm just sayin'.
Yes, the damn popups. Check your browser settings. I am investigating moving The Watch to another server. Stay tuned.
