Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Maybe Bush Sr could use his CIA connections to raise some cash from a Middle Eastern theocracy and a war-torn Central American country. If only there were some precedent...

You ever play Wisconsin Chubby? Sure, it was a pale shadow to playing Minnesota Fats in pool, but the kids seemed to like it.

You are taking into account that it's Labor Day, right?
