• The Obama administration has turned a blind eye to radical Islam since before they came to office.

That is not a good sign for America's foreign policy.

• There's definitely a lot of trash that comes with the prize of being famous. It's a nice gift, but there's a lot of wrapping and paper and junk to cut through.

I mean, everybody would love to have their clothes torn off by a mob of girls, but being screamed at is different.
