No doubt. Hope nobody felt the need to make political insinuations that border on exploitation due to the timing. That would be undignified to put it mildly.

I turned it on and watched all 2.5 hours without getting up. Such a great thing to be happening in general and even cooler at Walt Disney World.

The guy that dropped the F-bomb right before George W. Bush was announced on stage was epic and fiery. Sounds like he's been through hell.

This is wonderful. Wish I could make it down there for this. I second the motion to encourage anyone there during this time to go and support these men & women. Good luck to all the athletes and I cannot thank you enough for your sacrifice and service.
