Absolutely brilliant.
I used it to work out what would happen to a gay Republican friend of mine and sent him the result along with the website. He told me it was clearly a Democratic trick, so I asked him to give me the ‘real’ result to his income under Romney and he still hasn’t got back to me.
I love pissing off my gay Republican friend because (even though his politics don’t mean shit to me or have any impact on my life in the UK) being able to wind him up with stuff like this makes me look really intelligent about American politics.
Ahhhh [contented sigh]. Reason #847 to love Bill In Exile.

I always count the day a success when I or a friend of mine can piss off a republican.

Oh it gets better. He reads/hears my email in an English/British accent. He’s got that weird American thing going on that seems to mean that if something is said in an English accent, it sounds more intelligent than than if it’s in one of the many glorious American accents.
That’s his problem, frankly.
Whereas I have zero problems using my accent in the US, so many Americans don’t seem to understand how beautiful their voices are.
I was once in Paris and ended up talking to American tourists. Their politics were vile. Essentially, everything they said should have been punctuated by them whipping the tablecloth off the table, puncturing eye holes in it and then setting fire to the Algerian waiters.
They were horrible people. Also, they were in no way representative of Americans who travel. The only reason they stand out in my mind is because they were the exception rather than the rule. That said, their voices were so beautiful that I could have spent all night listening to them. What they said was crap, but the cadence of the way in which they said it was beautiful to hear.
Any use of the English language that can put 14 syllables into a simple ‘hello’ should be admired.

Scott, I make 5 or 6 of them turn purple every day with my comments on Huff Po. You get back petty, snively crap from them in reply, especially the morholes.

It would be a lovely thing if some enterprising person were to tabulate all the laws introduced during Obama’s presidency, indicating how many jobs were created or lost by the law, and which party came up with it. And how much it cost/saved.
Die-hard Republicans won’t believe it, but the people who just assume conservatives are more fiscally responsible might have their eyes opened (those people do exist, right?).
