[...] I find myself in an interesting position to view this possible debate. I am a child of both sides and I have always found it to be a strength. [...]

I think Vince McMahon ought to be Chairman of the Republican Party.

Keep HHH away from the book and I’ll register Republican 5 minutes after his chairmanship is official.

There are, however, rumors that he has not been completely faithful in his marriage. That said, his values aren’t quite traditional values as much as the Ur-values that tradidional values eventually were founded upon.

Additionally, he’s probably somewhat neoconnish in his interventionist tendencies (“somebody needs to get in there and hit those mullahs with a goddamn chair!”).

It’s all moot, however. The Republicans can’t afford him.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

He’s a bit of a bastard. He’s married to the head booker (Stephanie) and, for one reason or another, does not tend to lose clean. Or, for that matter, show ass. If you see him get into the ring, you pretty much know what the finish is going to be. He’s going to come out on top… or it’s going to be a segment building to his coming out on top.

I gave up the WWE after seeing the BJ Penn vs. Joe Stevenson fight at UFC 80 on pay-per-view. Nothing the WWE does compares anymore.

I prefer the archetypes. The real thing just depresses me.

This is probably fodder for an essay on libertarian psychology.

A brilliant philosopher!
