I am an owner of a Sub-S corp…what Bush says is true.

Wait, you’re making your drinking dependent on the debate? What’s wrong with getting hammered for the hell of it? And I’m almost out of rum.

'Scuse me. I’ve gotta back up for a second. Did I hear Bush tell Kerry that he could run but he couldn’t hide?

Um. So drunk I shouted “Sirius Black for President!” after **Early Out** made his comment about voting for a candidate who woofs and eats his dinner from a bowl on the floor over Bush. My roommate thinks I’m weird.
