They are caucusing here tonight and, as far as I can tell, none of my Republican friends (we agree to disagree) are caucusing. The folks they have interviewed on the news keep talking about Santorum. IDEK.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I want him in the race as long as possible to continue aggravating the other candidates and spending his campaign war chest down enough that he won't be able to run for Dog Catcher in the future.

Romney's probably calling up the GOP bigwigs and saying, "What gives, guys? What are all these hoi polloi doing voting for the other person? What do I pay you for?"

I probably know the least about Santorum's politics...any suggestions on a site to get a fairly balanced summary?

Just don't google his name at the office.
Santorum is a hardline social/religious conservative, who acts more like an evangelical Protestant than any Catholic I know. For one thing, he thinks abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape.

Suzi, balanced? Probably not anywhere I read, but wikipedia, believe it or not, is more balanced than most on many political candidates: [link]
Also, I think Santorum is nuts and should be runover by a 18 wheeler. But, he does live out his some of his prolife stuff and his daughter has Trisomy 18 and she has been living longer than expected so she obviously has access to every aspect of insurance that poor people don't, but they are undoubtedly working hard to prolong her life (he left campaigning when she was hospitalized last month).
He and his wife also took a preemie stillborn son who did not survive home to "introuce" to the children before they buried him.

Pain question: Will a Tylenol with codeine do anything for a serious knotted muscle in my lower back? It's all I have aside from ibuprofen, which has done nothing.

What do you want it to do, Amy? Loosen the knot? No. Stop the pain by shutting down pain receptors in your CNS? Yes! So some relief, but it will be painful tomorrow.

Stop the pain so I can sleep, for now. And, uh, that's good, because I took it already.
