You know... if gay people cause hurricanes... and if hurricanes cause Republicans to lose national elections... then Republicans had better start being a whole hell of a lot nicer to gay people.

@4 - Okay, why did you write all that when you could've just said "I think you're immature?"

It would've been much more persuasive if you'd have explained exactly why anyone should give a shit what you think.

Actually, Global Warming is creating Climate Change which is ramping up bigger and more perfect storms.

So, if Republicans want to win they might want to be nicer to Mother Nature.

(Also not going to happen.)

Dan, I approve of your crush on Rachel.

Not to say that RM isn't cute in her own way, but smart, interesting people with quick, elegant, logical minds beat cute any day of the week. Or maybe smart and quick makes someone cute.

@4 ppssssst..... "Nice" doesn't mean "Agree with everything I say & do, especially when I call you a horrible, hateful, destructive element that should be eradicated like the cockroaches you are."

I love it....as well as Rachel's take that if the GOP truly believe that the hurricane was the only reason that Romney lost that they should just keep the same tactics for all future races. Continue to have old men discuss abortion, continue to select presidential nominees who choose to withhold their tax records and change positions on most issues...frequently. Yes, that is the key, GOP. Please...be our guest. In other words, "proceed, governor."

I like her resolve to not say she was celebrating too hard. Rest assured if FOX news had seen a Mittens win they would have been the worst sports about it.

There was a "going down" joke that could have worked at the end there, if Stephen was brave enough to play it.

@4: Keep up the sanctimonious concern trolling. It totally works.

Anal sex does create a slight vacuum. Butterfly flapping its wings and all that jazz.

What about you being nicer to Republicans? Of course that's never going to happen because that requires maturity. I know, I know, "They started it! Nah nah nah nah nah..." Real maturity.

The smearing of Republicans right now is childish and stupid. And, naturally, the same thing will happen to you Dems when they win the next time. It's an endless, tired, repetitive cycle and I'm just so glad I have better things to do with my energy. Ridiculous and kinda sad how so many people get SO into it. Silly.
