The good news is that John Edwards has gotten Kevin Bacon to stump for him. The bad news is that Kevin Bacon brought his band. The even worse news is that The Bacon Brothers may be more popular than Joe Biden.
According to the New York Times, an Iowa gate agent nearly snapped her neck doing a double take when Bacon stepped off the plane.
“Oh my God!” she said. “He’s my first movie star! Usually I just get Joe Biden.”

How does that make you feel, Joe? A simple Iowa girl is more impressed by Kevin Bacon than she is by you and all of your foreign policy experience. Later, the girl did admit that she’s not a political type of person, so maybe she doesn’t know you’re running for president.
Does that make you want to respond to the Geek Survey? I know Pink Raygun isn’t a desk agent at an Iowa airport (we can all dream, though), but we can reach desk agents at Iowa airports if they’re of the geek persuasion.

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.
