So I didn't catch that [SPOILER! edited - MSL] dying thing on that last podcast... all I remember from you guys discussing The Wire last week was that there was a character named Bubbles, so I presumed it was Bubbles, Michael Jackson's former chimp. So I just inserted that image into my head and apparently didn't pay attention to anything else you said about The Wire. And this is why I am not podcasting. Hehe... Bubbles the Chimp... LOL.

Damn, I lost that bet. @Matthew; any chance you could post the link to the site of rich aristocracy? I think that the upper class and politics have always gone hand in hand because they're the ones who can afford to spend the massive amounts of money in order to campaign, in contrast to someone else who doesn't have that massive bankroll and has to rely on government funding and public contributions. Plus in their eyes they need something to do (since they've never had to work a day in their life) and their parents push them to do it in order to add prestige to the family name. -The Yankee’s won?
