And I asked ... and if it doesn't? The answer came ... what can we do anyway?

Get lost, Huckster.
This guy makes my skin crawl. I turned on his show the other day and I felt like I was watching a version of the 700 Club.
LOL! I get the vibe everytime I see him; moreso when that pic of he and his family, all in matching outfits, came out.
“what can we do anyway?”
G & A, man, G & A.
