It’s just as well. I’m sure someone in Congress is waiting to introduce a bill to cap the future ‘salaries’ of Gold Medal winners at the Olympics. *SMIRK*

some drunk or high stupid kid at a college party made mega $$$ over releasing that cell phone picture.

I would find out who he/she is then hire a discrete professional to bust both arms and legs...............nothing personal, just business.

Ok. Screw Kelloggs, then. If they want to be drug warriors, I’ll buy other brands.

I seem to remember a picture of the O smoking something
that looked fishy. Ok for him to be president but some
state is trying to file criminal charges against M. Phelps.

Just where is the love here?

Why is Phelp’s drug use unacceptable while the president’s admitted hard drug use was youthful experimentation?
