How did he have time to have kids if he's working so many hours? :mrgreen:

OK, I don't get the connection - apparently I didn't pay enough attention to Michele during her brief run for the Republican nomination. How is she associated with grape soda? I'd have to JTQ on this one.

It has nothing to do with the grape soda.

it has everything to do woth the fact that Gretchen Carlson was Miss Minnesota prior to winning Miss America.

This factoid came up during Bachman's ill-fated run.
