But sometimes if you watch someone's behavior, it's indicative of some greater meaning. I find it VERY tell-tale. He was acting out. He was throwing a temper fit in the middle of cereal aisle at Ralph's. He was being a five-year-old spoiled snot-nose you walk by and find yourself thinking "JEEZ who the hell brought HIM up?" And any parent who's worth his or her salt as a respectable responsible parent will tell you - YOU DO NOT REWARD OR REINFORCE BAD BEHAVIOR!!!!! You do not DARE give in! You screw up your kid if you do that!

MAN - just watching michael steele on "Hardball" - he looks like he's spent all morning at the undertaker's, getting ready to bury somebody. He looks like he IS an undertaker. No smug. No snark. He didn't get HIS way today either. He actually looks kinda unhealthy - he seems to have lost weight lately - he doesn't look too good.
