1. Holy Crap

I saw this yesterday. I was driving home going northbound and you could see this accident going southbound.

What the heck?? He was drunk at 520p???? Got in a little early for the Labor Day weekend I guess

2. From what I hear, that's closer to last call for LT.

And it's at least as likely to be drugs as booze.

I'm amazed he's made it this far.

3. He's had far too many second chances

Underage prostitutes, drugs, DUIs. Something needs to be done before he takes someone down with him.
