Mike Visser

He is smart, and witty. Mike hopes that, one day, cats and dogs will live together, every child will have his or her own taser (as a deterrent), and Neil Young will release his long anticipated Archives box set. He also hopes that the Congress will reinstate habeas corpus, but he's not holding his breath.
