mervlurker tried to convince me that he was actually a libertarian, but he's no good with the Dewey Decimal System.
Questions
~Why do you belong in NUBH? Because I'm smoldering with the Democratic fire of righteous indignation, and it's all shining from behind my sexy emo glasses.
~For whom did you vote in 2004? Kerry / Edwards.
~2000? Aha! Zing! This might get me thrown out before I'm officially in: I voted for Bush / Cheney. But seriously, I didn't think they could fuck it up this badly. And they say that converts are more zealous anyway. And I worked very hard in MI to ensure Kerry carried the state in '04, so that's gotta count for something.
~With which political party/affiliation do you align yourself? I am a registered Democrat in Michigan, a pivotal swing state.
~If you had one billion dollars, what would you do with it?: Dump it into no-bid contracts for Halliburton. Oh wait, that's what I'd do if I had a billion dollars and I was George W. Bush. I would work on infrastructure in the United States: healthcare for all, better salaries and conditions for teachers in public schools, loan forgiveness programs, public service programs, etc. I'd also fund not only Democratic candidates, but I'd set up Democratic and Progressive think-tanks and make sure WE were setting the policy for the next century, not reacting to the policies being set.
~Can you perform any stupid human tricks? Practically every trick I can perform is both human, and stupid.
~If you could have dinner with any 3 people, living or dead, what would you serve? I make a delicious pork tenderloin medallion in brown sauce with garlic mashed potatoes. But I'd probably go with the veggie lasagna, just in case any of my invitees didn't dig on swine.

Opinions
~George W. Bush: possibly the worst president the United States has ever endured
~
liberal - sometimes worth reading, sometimes worth ignoring
~teh Pope - uber-conservative and not the best choice for the Church. The next pronouncement about homosexuality in the seminaries is going to be an incredibly divisive issue and could lead to Vatican III, where major changes in the Church come about.
~The War on Iraq: The central reason Osama bin Laden is still at large and the United States is going bankrupt.
Fill in the Blanks
~George W. Bush is raping and pillaging America the way no one else in his position ever dreamed of.
~Laura Bush is complicit in the evil so proclaims to disdain.
~Absolutely no more contracts should go to Halliburton without some serious accounting oversight.
~Let’s go get naked in the hottub.
~What happened to all the late nights in bars with cute girls to sing to?
~I love all things that have to do with this application.
