You know,...the thing I hear time and time again when I have this argument about the Biden Vs Palin pick is ''But I don't want to have sex with Biden.'' and I always say ''Yes, but you're not going to be asked to have sex with either one of them, Uncle Bob.'' Uncle Bob and I have this discussion a lot. He's a fucking moron, though.

It just goes to show that anyone, absolutely ANYONE, could be President. No one needs actual qualifications to run a nation. I find that very reassuring.
