>So I’ve decided to give up Colts games for Lent. Ha ha ha ha ha. Seriously, watching and following the Colts (and my fantasy team) took up a major portion of my “leisure activities” for the months of September-January.

I have pretty much decided that I am going to vote for Huckabee for President. If Huckabee drops out, I will be voting for a write-in candidate (who will obviously not win) but I will not be held responsible for choosing a liberal President.
