"My favourite is when Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi say "we need a strong Republican party." And I'm like, "um, well, I don’t. Not sure why you do." And then I realized why they do need a strong Republican party. Because if there was no Republican party, even if you were a fan of the Democrats, you would be like "hey, now what's holding you back from doing good policy if there's no opposition?" Because they'd be revealed as frauds." - Judah Friedlander

So apparently, a 16-year-old Meat Loaf aka Marvin Lee Aday was also present at Parkland Memorial Hospital immediately after the assassination of JFK on November 22, 1963. He grew up in Dallas, Texas and claims that a Secret Service Officer commandeered his car that day and drove him and his two friends to the hospital. What an incredible story!
