Apropos of nothing, Bitch Grifter would be such a good name for a punk band.
Erika Kirk's Amazing Race audition tape shows that all these right wing grifters really just wanna be rich and famous and won't stop until they stumble on an audience dumb enough to let that happen

The play-by-play guy for the Minnesota Vikings, and host of one of the biggest radio programs in MN, ludicrously said on his show this morning that the protestors in town are paid for protesting.

Nikko Kamen is a laid-back superhero who promotes Nikko City. Once a worn-out, middle-aged salaryman in the city, he decided to return to his more relaxing hometown of Nikko and become Nikko Kamen.
