I like this post that he put on his profile.

I feel like this everyday when I hear people like Ryan speak about the Republican party...the GOPE that are dancing with my money and spending it like there is no tomorrow

"An investigation found Clarke was driving under the influence of alcohol, said troopers"

We should ban this dangerous drug.
