How do you keep coming up with them?

I will tell you a little secret... I open sciencedaily.com every day instead of those "normal" news portals with celebrities and politicians to find my inspiration and daily reading material :)

Your friend seems interesting, I have a couple of them like him too and they baffle me as yours baffles you. Those numbers are something I would agree with and based on my experience with people tell you that they are statistically accurate with mentioning that they all have a possibility of changing sides at any given point :) Keeping that in mind, I think we are all sporadic asshats more times then we would like to admit. Trying not to be an asshat is the key here so good luck to as all :)
