Re-poll the Castro approval rating and I bet he'd out-poll Congress right now.

Clearly, nobody was asking for a big fat nothing when they voted in 2010, although that's what they got.

You know, Hitler really ruined that mustache style for everyone!

You're never going to see any sane person wearing a "toothbrush" any more.
