The excitement is killing me

We have the following outgoing, exhuberant, bubbly, wild-and-crazy, inspiring, charismatic, competent, experienced candidates seeking the Republican Party's nomination for the U.S. presidency in 2012:

Tim "More Expressive than Sam Kinison" Pawlenty

Ron "Competent in Monetary Policy And Younger Than Methuselah" Paul

Newt "Great Hair But the Personality and Judgment of a Newt" Gingrich

I'd write more, but I'm too jittery.

National Debt Clock

"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds... [we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our mismanagers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers... And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for another, till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery. And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt." -- Thomas Jefferson
