“At this time, many young Iranians all over this world are watching us, and I imagine them to be very happy. They are happy not just because of an important award, or a film or a filmmaker, but because at the time, in talk of war, intimidation and aggressions exchanged between politicians, the name of their country, Iran, is spoken here through her glorious culture — a rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics. I proudly offer this award to the people of my country. A people who respect all cultures and civilizations, and despise hostility and resentment.”

- Asghar Farhadi accepting the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for Iranian film A Separation

Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk. Give your reasons, say it's not her fault, but you just found somebody new. Tell her not to get upset second guessing everything you said and done, and when she gets upset tell her that you never meant to hurt no one, then you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again and it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend. And then you let her down easy. Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed. Don't you even try and explain how it's so different when we kiss. And you tell her that the only way her heart will mend is when she learns to love again and it won't make sense right now but you're still her friend. And then you let her down easy. Call your girlfriend, it's time you had the talk. Give your reasons, say it's not her fault. But you just met somebody new.

I just love how weak the Republican field for President is. Mitt Romney seems to be the only person who can remotely can close to 50% among a general electorate but there's no way he can get the nomination with the whole health care thing. Besides, he's so transparently phony that he doesn't stand a chance against the black guy who put a bullet in Bin Laden's brain.

Everyone says I shouldn't be too sure of Obama's re-election chances even considering the republican field to the economy and oil prices, to which I respond...uhhh look at the republican field. Gingrich is an oddity from the 90s like Hanson and Beavis and Butthead. Santorum's name is a laughing stock who can only run because he lost his senate re-election in '06 by 20 points. Donald Trump pinned his hopes to the birther issue which is well kaput. Tim Pawlenty is plainer than unbuttered toast.

It's just like...Republicans might have made more gains in 2010, but it was in the smaller races. Americans don't give a shit about sending crazies to the House of Reps, because they don't do anything. Republicans couldn't capture the Senate, though, like Christine O'Donnell or Linda McMahon or Sharron Angle. Voters were hesitant to make them as powerful as Senators. Why would they make Ron Paul or Michelle Bachman or Herman Cain or Rick Santorum or anyone else as PRESIDENT? It's just not gonna happen.

Especially now that Mike Huckabee, the only person crazy enough to appeal to conservatives but seemingly sane enough to be liked by the moderates, decided not to run.
