Brothah Jesse needs to lighten up and take a breath. It’s only a baseball trophy. No wonder the boy can’t breathe.

That is how you make your evil money.

After all, wasn’t it the beloved “reverend” Jesse that commented during the 2008 campaign that they should cut off Obama’s nuts?

He did what?
The same Jesse Jackass? Are you sure?

Dang it.
Now I got to add a few hundred positive points of my estimation of him on my negative slime-o-meter...

That works for me!
