Don’t even bother with this troll.  They are completely full of shit and aren’t even remotely interested in discussing the issue of healthcare and the role of private insurers in good faith.

I have lunch at 11:30.  Is that close enough?

84-month financing, here we come!

I always thought that Merle Haggard did a better Marty Robbins than Marty Robbins.
