It is three minutes after 10 and they are, well, I don't know what Gary Lineca would call them,

I mean, it is objectively ridiculous that we've spent more time talking about, I mean, as a country, and I am in part guilty of this myself.

We've spent more time talking about a tweet from a sports broadcaster about a bill than we have talking about an actual bill.
