Great news about the NDAs. Hope lots of his aggrieved former staffers have _lots_ to say about him now.

May I propose a 5 minute intermission just to enjoy his self-destructive antics as well as the motions of his lawyers? Does anyone second the motion?

I took a tumble more than a year ago, cracked a vertebra, and still not fully recovered, very uncomfortable in the morning. And I have no problem offering to share with Sen. Potato-head.

It kind of fits Tuberville… I mean, that looks like THE most uninspired game ever.

They barely even tried to make inner tubing fun, let alone work as an arcade game: “Pick up and throw cans to clear out obstacles and pests!” Jeepers!
