Obama began the phone call with Castro with what he described as 15 minutes of opening comments. It was the first conversation between the heads of state in both countries since 1961.

What can you do if your QB keeps throwing interceptions on purpose?

The coaches all huddle together, argue among themselves and then decide to give him one more chance, and one more chance and one more...

I guess they would rather lose than change QBs.

I actually feel sorry for Castro, having to listen to Obama speak for 15 minutes.

“Earbola” – the nausea one gets when hearing the sound of Barack Obama giving a speech

Here’s Obama’s speech:

“I, I, I, I, I, I, I, sorry, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, me, me, me, me, me, myself, myself, myself, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.

Is he really THIS desperate for the White Sox to receive an infusion of Cuban baseball talent?

I really doubt that pansy-ass wimp cares about baseball at all.

“There’s a whole bunch of stupid voters who owe America an apology.”

We have to find a way to strip them of the franchise.

What can you do if your QB keeps throwing interceptions on purpose?

You terminate his contract and cut him.

Apologize for what? When do reflections apologize to each other?
