Anyone still wondering why it's cool to be an American no matter what our politicians do? Everybody raise a glass to Seth Cooper

Wow is my reaction, too. Not surprising, I guess, I know some "gamer kids" who are freaking geniuses.

Wonder if the Everquest group will come up out of the basement now.....[:D]
