This has nothing to do with tonight's zenith of anti-democratic fervor known as the "caucuses," I've been meaning to post this for a couple weeks now: I mean no undue offense to the families of The Guy and B. Howard, but I'm pretty sure I hate the people of Iowa. Lousy, imperious jerks.

1) In Michigan's primary, I will be voting for Rudy Giuliani. When else in my life will I get the chance to vote for a pro-choice, pro-gun control, gay-friendly Republican? We liberal Republicans are an endangered breed, and we have to support our own.

(A dear friend whom I am proscribed from mentioning has been saying "Lloyd for President" at random intervals since immediately after the Capital One Bowl.) Governor Huckabee vs. Senator Obama? I would probably do the unthinkable and vote for a Democrat for national office. President Barack Hussein Obama? I'd complain bitterly, but I could live with that on my conscience.
In case of a Huckabee nomination, political posts will be under the title "Vote For
