Glenn Beck

Faith, Character, Justice

The fashion industry isn't merely content to encase my meaty flanks in skintight denim. Oh, no! That denim also has to be white, a color that attracts ketchup, wine, garlic aioli, and any other foodstuffs I might otherwise be able to enjoy if I wasn't wearing ridiculously tight pants.
Diablo Cody

Enjoy, Fashion, Wine

Book, Baseball, Democracy
