It has gotten to a point where I can barely look at the screen during the Presidential Debates. It has gotten to this point because the facial expressions and body language posed by Mitt Romney alone is enough to convince me why he is not right as the President of the United States.

Last Friday I was at New York Comic Con.I saw a lot of people with eyepatches. But I’m not going to go into that here, because you can simply read my thoughts on eyepatches elsewhere.
