This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Blankenship told the Charleston Daily Mail he couldn't recall any threats. "Quite frankly, I don't know what I said except that I know I'm never loud, vulgar or rude to strangers."
This is the most honest and truthful statement of anything. Don Blankenship never raises his voice and he never has to say anything vulgar. He can whisper a remark and make you feel like an ass without even making a statement to the such. In all of the meetings that I was around him, he never uttered a vulgarity.
The first step in a successful revolution is to defeat all competing revolutionaries.
