Whoever he is, he is better than me, but in my opinion, he is not super great.

It's fair to say he's better known for his organ than his piano.

He's right. It's an oblate spheroid.

To be fair, if I had his boss I'd be getting shitfaced pretty regularly too.

What with Hegseth quoting fake biblical verses from Pulp Fiction, and Trump declaring the Strait is closed and open at the same time and always will be, it almost feels as if these guys don't know what they're talking about.
