Lui) How did you handle this type of criticism from your own party in the past?
Grayson: I haven't gotten that kind of criticism from my own party, but in any event, calling him "Statesman of the Year," would be like calling Jim Jones, the religious leader of the year for much the same reason. He's trying to create a sort of mass suicide cult called the tea party and lead it.

If you've ever eaten lutefisk, you'd know that it's likely the end of the world.
On the other hand, pickled herring on knäckebröd is heaven. Yum!

Ragnarök rocks!

and wouldn't touch lutefisk even during Ragnarök. I do like homemade lefse, though. Even made some at Christmas.
