In looking at your laundry list of loons above, I can follow up to the point
of democrats. I'm not exactly the most liberal person in the world but I
can't quite lump democrats in with UFO-ers and psychics. Then again maybe
this gives us more insight into what Clinton meant when he said that he felt

Maybe I should have taken to wearing tin foil hats more often during
Clinton's reign.
