oregony asked: Why do people care about how much money Mitt Romney makes or how many houses John McCain has? Can't we better spend time looking at cat memes? BYE.
catbawse asked: If money and politics got into a cage match where two people entered and one came out, would money or politics come out? In what sense would they 'come out'?
muppetpants asked: What type of lube do you recommend for fitting money into politics?
