Every once is a goddamn while I run across him on NY1, it’s usually one of those things where they have 5 seconds to make a statement about some relatively dumb, I mean popular topic.
Oopsy, will you look at that, I slipped and cursed again! Sorry DIBS! : P
I don’t really care or mind as BHO and I never had any issues, although I did have issues with BO, but that’s another story. All three have used the same Bill Thompson for Mayor tagline recently.

Well, you may not like Curtis, but his routine on Swine Flu is hilarious. Curtis is a bit of a nut job, but he’s highly entertaining.
