As time passes, I grow more and more concerned that the democratic nomination is going to go to Hilary, and then I won't know who to vote for in the election. The recent "resignation" from the Republican party by Bloomburg is intriguing - although he states he will not run for president, it certainly brings questions of whether there will ever be a third party strong enough to win the presidency.

I think the end of the Harry Potter books are

An odd point to make for someone so involved in improv comedy, which, like all arts, can offer insight into the human condition and simultaneously entertain without denying that there are larger things at stake in this world. Jus' sayin'.

Yes, but remember that artists are some of the most fucked up people in the world. Hitler was a painter. Manson was a musician (and a pretty good one, actually).

Why can't you worry about both--all of us American being killed by terrorists, *and* Harry being killed by Voldemort? I know I am.
