“Hey You Fucking Asshole, Help Me Move This Sofa.”
Stephen Lentz is staunch Bush supporter who lives in my general neighborhood, and by neighborhood i mean “somewhere in University City.” He’s a tradesman, some sort of plumber or electrician, and his van is covered with bumper stickers: “Bush-Cheney 04″, “No New Taxes!”, France Sucks”. [...]

Today is my little guy’s first birthday!
Since I can’t be there to witness this, I’d like to give out some gifts in his honor:
