It's that time of the year again. The glorious month where I grow my Octobeard. Why, you may ask, do I grow the Octobeard? First, I want Winter to know that I'm not afraid of it. Second, my ladies like me with stubble.

Apparently, criticism of the Obama White House has reached the ironic comedy stage. Right. In a related story, with the exception of mockingbird loyalists, other birds are privately criticizing mockingbirds,
