People are battening down the hatches here, waiting for the storm they're saying will dump a foot and a half of snow by tomorrow evening. It'll be our third storm in a week.

Demon sheep in the White House!

Man, I had no idea that was Robert Davi! I was too entranced by the extreme ridicularity of the rest of it to figure out who he was.

KOLYAAAAAAA!
