I like Kucinich just fine, but I thought it was weird because he had ended his campaign. I guess his people filed his paperwork anyway. Ralph Nader's people filed his paperwork, too. Yeah, but someone lost it or something and he didn't end up on the ballot. That on top of no write-in option really turned me off completely to the political process. I really want there to be a "None of the Above" option. Sure, it won't win, but I'd like to see how popular "No one" would be. I'm almost to the point of not wanting to vote anymore but if I could go in and vote for no one at all, my mood would change.

Anymore of this talk and this thread about the dear George Carlin will get moved to the Political board! lol

He wasn't laid back, which was one of the reasons he did drugs and drank. He was an angry SOB, which is why I loved him. He didn't hold back; he'd go to extremes to make a point.
Same here. I tend to really like angry comedians... Perhaps I live vicariously through their rage.

Actually, that happened in 2000 with Ralph Nader, . . . which got us Duh-Byah. So, no thanks. Not again. :shock:

[quote="Hilary the Touched"]. . . and he was inspired in Dogma.[/quote]

Let's not forget he was first in 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures'....well, I saw him first in this film. One of Keanu's best, too. But, this site is about Jason Isaacs, so........ ;-)
