Bari absolutely rocks. Her two ideas for stories are "I have this famous person's phone number" and "I heard libs were doing some weird stuff out there." Absolutely replacement level suburban dunce.

A conspiracy theory I have is that people put hot sauces like Tabasco on everything not so much for the pepper as they do for the benefits of adding vinegar to a dish and that’s what they should be focusing on and recognizing.
