Enough with the complaining about Lester Holt. As someone who dislikes both candidates who were on the stage last night, I’m a good fit to analyze the first 2016 general election presidential candidate face-off.

So a bear and a guy that wants a selfie with a bear walk into a bar. The bear eats the guy. The end. It’s what bears do. Stay away from them. Also, why aren’t athletic cups made out of the strongest material on earth? Pondering, answering, and musing. 9 topics, 3 hosts, and 20…
