Half the guys in my high school looked like that, too. Some of the ladies also looked a little odd.

The people I went to high school with, however, have spent the last 35 years paying the tax money that Rick Santorum bilked out of Pennsylvanians.

Rick Santorum deserves the ridicule he gets; he has spent the last 35 years being a sanctimonious jerk--on our dime.
