Mo wouldn't let us watch Love American Style because the Catholic Church said it was sinful.

I could seek it out now on some streaming service to see what I missed, but I bet it was stupid as fuck.

It's also something he might want to quit saying, unless he wants us to think he's out of touch. If he needs a hip quote to connect with teh youngzz, I suggest this gem from Urkel:"Cheating is like wearing your grandmother's underpants. Sure, it may cover your hiney, but if you make a habit of it, you've got a serious problem."

S.O.P. for totalitarian parties. The Bolsheviki did it, and so did the Nazis. Also the antebellum Southern Democrats, for that matter, and their spiritual descendants in the Union of South Africa the Nasionale Party (NP).
