All of this health care reform stuff has made me start thinking about just how much depends on the personality quirks of various elected leaders at the national level. And with sites like Politico.com “fetishizing” (as Jason Sandford put it once) these folks and their intrigue, it’s hard not to have a few favorites.
My tastes on the matter are plebeian, really. I like watching Reid and Pelosi play cat herders, and folks like Ron Paul get all scrappy over their idealism. I like them more as an ensemble cast—even Obama—than I do individually.
What about you? Any favorite national politicians?
I like Barney Frank, simply because the idea of an openly gay, jewish, liberal democrat from Boston feels like an internet troll set loose upon Republicans.

And they really don’t know what to do with him, because he’s turned all of his political weak spots into a kind of armor. Anything they’d want to use against him is probably part of what got him elected in the first place.
The best thing about D&D is that it protects you from girls and their cooties. Barney Frank got around that far more elegantly by being into dudes. Point Frank.
Except for that whole “you are laying on your back with your knees up by your ears while some mustachioed guy enters your hiney and kisses you on the mouth” thing.

That may have been how Gygax and Arneson played D&D in the beginning, but the game has evolved greatly since then.
