totally awesome and confidently badass?
or, sad and pathetic.
Discuss.
I have always enjoyed going to the movies alone - and shopping - side effect of being an only child I suppose. What I think is pathetic is those people who simply cannot do these things alone and will drag *anybody* along with them for company - that’s a mental disorder.

Clearly the repugs find it less than dignified and/or less than manly or it just reminds them of the valet at the club …
McCain's "Cone Of Silence" At Saddleback →
robot-heart:
Apparently, since news agencies have begun to cover the fact that McCain was not, in fact, in a “cone of silence” (whatever that is), the McCain camp has fired back by saying 1) McCain is a POW!, and 2) by even discussing the fact that McCain did not observe the rules of the debate, the media is showing its liberal bias.
