I readily admit that I am not a patient person nor very compromising nor actually much of anything. Just an average Joe. However, when someone tells me 2+2=3 I call them on it....to the point where I draw the line. We don't talk about anything past that until we get this correct..then we can move on.
Being a pain in the ass stick in the mud comes naturally to me (my mom's dead otherwise I would introduce you to her). In Haley Barbour's case, I'm sure those fat little hands got their fingers on some of the BP pie and he ran $15 million of it into an ad campaign extolling Mississippi's pristine beaches...see this story and it will make you nuts....
