I always think of him as the bad guy in the movie “The Fire Down Below.”

These former athletes have so much money they are not feeling the pain of the disastrous Biden/Harris policies that ordinary Americans feel.

Two of my all time two dozen or so favorite lyrics (which I manage to work into conversation still) are his:

“The beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so I had one more for dessert.”

“Then I fumbled through my closet,
For my clothes and found my cleanest dirty shirt.”

Thanks, Kris.
