Yeah, spoiler tags don't help if you're spoiling something no one will really expect. At least denote it as a House spoiler. D:

We sure it's no April 1st anymore?

[Azkarin2]

lol i was going to come in here stating that Kal Penn is actually an Ivy league grad but I realized I was extrapolating from most of his movies.

Tomorrow Jay-Z is going to be the liaison to African nations and Dr. Dre will be the Surgeon General (Citation: Jimmy Kimmel). No plagiarism here!

[Boyiee]

Talk about a huge cut in salary, at least there will be benefits to make up for it.

[Daydreamer]

This makes a lot of sense to me. My ex worked for 9 months on the Obama campaign out in Colorado. She sad Kumie came in one day and was the only celeb that did more than pose for pictures. He was hardcore about calling people and actually going out and campaigning. He apparently ended up staying a few extra days because he wanted to as well.
