But jumping in now to slice and dice.

Bravo. Must be so frustrating for the shit heels who wanted this to be the major theme.

They keep promising something, but it never comes. Put up, or shut up.

Everything in that entire laptop story stinks to high heaven. If Rudy's got it, and its as bad as they say, they'd have released it all by now.
