Isn't her name just Em, and would that be short for Emily?

Is it the same way Bob is short for Robert, Bill William, and Hank Henry?

Why bother voting in November if you live in a state that always goes opposite to the way you vote, and since the election is by Electoral College your vote won't count for crap anyway.

If you didn't vote would it be ethically right to complain about the results?

Do members of the Electoral College party as much as other collegians?

Isn't it obvious they party more as they belong in a party even in daytime, contrary to other collegians who mostly do it only on evenings?

Should drug tests be required before Electoral College members are allowed to vote?

How about spelling tests and IQ tests?

I don't know about spelling tests, but isn't there a thread with a link to an IQ test?

How come in french we borrowed the english word "smart" with a meaning that has nothing to do with either wisdom or intelligence, but implies you are well-dressed :?

Haven't the French borrowed a lot of English words in recent years?
