    In reply to More on Meg Whitman's Fratty Princeton Son
    I'm skeptical about that "bodyguard roomie" story. It sounds too far fetched. Why get another 18 year old kid to protect your son when you can hire all the security you want? And unless the roommate was getting paid, why would he care if Griff got kidnapped?

    Is there some kind of secret, shitty nickname generator I don't know about where people like this get nicknames?

    Between this and the cast of Jersey Shore, the quality of American nicknames has really gone downhill.

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: When I was in school the pervasive influence of my mother got me paired with a mesomorphic Cribbage champ who's father did copper braze-work on period reproduction wood-burning stoves. I know I don't need to say it but nary a wag laid a finger on my precious head during those heady salad days.

    @shostakobitch: Walla. I don't know what my roommate's parents did. One was a very nice boy who would get drunk at the house every night and would bring a drunken girl back with him. If I was awake I was always able to convince him that it wasn't a good idea. If asleep, we would most often find him asleep in a twisted mess with the girl, on the floor of the communal showers. I think he's a politician now.

    Then there was "M," who although he was outwardly pleasant, kept a shotgun sawed down to the nub in his drawer. He and his lovely girlfriend would have marathon sex with the windows closed, and then they'd keep the windows closed, and I would have to cook and read in that environment.

    I'll save the good ones for later ;)

    Three reasons not to vote for her:
    1. Names kid Griff Harsh V.
    2. Never voted in her life because she was too busy working and raising a family.
    3. Those lame radio ads..."go to Talk to Meg dot com..."

    I realize that IF true this is pretty shitty, having said that.
    With a name like Griff Harsh V, I imagine him pointing at himself and saying billionaire with a really villainous voice and an equally menacing accent. Preferably this would be some cold war-esque accent or Austrian or British.
