Re: Maybe.... nossy Send a noteboard - 31/08/2012 05:15:52 PM

(e.g. Romney invoking Neil Armstrong tonight leads straight into my lengthy "Reaganomics is the reason we have done NOTHING but regress since the moon landing" rant, even though it began with the Energy Crises and Nixon ending the gold standard.)

See that? My eyes won't even look at it. They refuse. It's a disease. :P

Ah, but in whom...? :P

I would think that would be pretty obvious, given that they are my eyes? However, it seems to be a common malady, no? :P Good job though, responding to just the previous thought. :D
