Upon a second listen, I realized I sort of think that maybe Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is a bit of an idiot. I don't know a single simple girl, and I'm pretty sure they don't exist.

I started watching The Hustler, and definitely fell asleep before it was over, but I just thought, if my readers enjoy Paul Newman even a quarter as much as I do, they will love some screen shots just of him smiling and wearing a jacket. And, am I right? Look at him! I tell ya, Ryan Gosling has nothing on Paul Newman.
