Who gets laid more? Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton?
Michelle is definitely much sexier, although is Clinton wealthier? Either way, it’s amusing to see that Liberal/Dem politicians usually have more money than Conservative/GOP candidates. So, I’d rather sleep with Michelle even though I personally have difficulty getting along with…

Whoopsie
Why would B.J. Ryan throw a fastball down the middle on 0-2 to hand the game to the worlds worst mustache, you ask? Well, that was actually a hanging slider. And Barajas emphasized DOWN by turning his glove upside down on the ground before the windup. That pitch was not down… What a gift-…
