Are they running for President? I don't understand your question. I don't live in MA or WVA, but if I did I suppose I would vote for them, assuming no good challenger in the primary or third party.

Your posts read as if from someone from academia. Do mine read like a merchant marine (what do merchant marines write like)?

Maybe you need to sprinkle in, "Avast, ye maties!" Although that would be more of a pirate vibe.

I just don't get it sometimes, but the passiveness of our populace explains how a chimp like Bush could rise to power.

In my evil heart and dark soul, I hope that the Cheney family and the Bush family both have to experience the pain of this decision personally. But I know this will never happen because if their wives or daughters or granddaughters did want abortions, they could go to another country. Few laws actually affect the very wealthy. The laws of Bush and his cronies at SCOTUS are to keep the poor and minorities in their oppressed place.

Only 642 days left.

The strange thing is, Ty never jokes. I don't know why he thinks you're a pirate. This is unlike him.

It's a good thing you teach law. You'd make a lousy English professor.

Not at all. "Avast ye maties" really would be a pirate vibe.
