23,000 Big Macs

Impressive number. Isn't that triple the number of votes Biden received this year?

I've heard Bawney Frank has had 23,000 Big Macs.

I saw him on a TV interview a year or two ago. It appears true. They interviewed the McD’s he goes to which verified he is a daily customer. He also stated some days he eats one, some days two.

And I have to ration myself to maybe one hamburger a month. I’m surprised this guy has a single open artery anywhere in his body.
