For Presidential primaries, Obama is at 100% (what happened to my write-in damn it)

I chuckled.

the bradley effect:

1. now responsible for the statistical margin of error and/or arbitrarily state-specific

2. happens backwards for mexicans

That also belongs in the Sulfur Mine and Good Post Gallery.

Yeah Pingvin's initial statement implying he's any type of libertarian, even a supposed socially conservative one is the most absurd and actually quite funny thing about that statement.

Stupid, but I laughed anyway:
