It’s too bad that he didn’t stick with it.

He loves to give other people's things away to make himself look like a good guy.

Oddly enough, it just happens that his first job is the job he is most qualified to do.

That’s funny, in his book he said it was “going behind enemy linesâ€. I don't think he really wrote that book! I guess that's how Bill Ayers thought!

Well, if he gave it away for free to his friends it does
