She'll live to be a zillion. I saw her swimming laps at the family Lake Rabun compound this summer. Very nice crawl. Funny lookin' old-timey bathing cap. Inheriting money requires vigorous expercise to manage all that media excess. I'd take her on in a pool sprint for just one measley radio station, but she'd out-crawl me easy. Rock on ACC.

Still, the reference in the post was unnecessary at best, "ESPN Town Hall Meeting"-worthy at worst. Cool, it was just silly slang.

For the greatest nation on earth, who has given the world so much, you have one particularly terrible affliction. The day may come when educated Americans can look at their fellow citizens and not notice their race. But I doubt it. Like all of us you are prisoners of your own history. When I visited the wonderful city of Atlanta a day did not pass when the subject of race did not come up in some way. Psst. A person's race doesn't matter.

That's like reading an NBA roster and noting that the folks on it are "predictably tall." What's the point? Great, Andi.
