Otto Porter
If he keeps progressing like this the day will come when we'll say, "Move over Larry Bird and Magic Johnson and make room for Otto Porter Jr."
Campaign president
I'm confused. Did the country just elect a president? Someone needs to tell him that the campaign is over. He needs to stay in Washington and work. His job is Commander in Chief, not Traveler in Chief. But then when you think about it, he has no plans of his own to share, only to ridicule others' plans.

It doesn't matter what street it's on, someone will run through a red light, sometimes as many as four people. Speed limits don't mean anything on Highway 74. It's like a racetrack and no one's around to stop it.
