Wrong, Max, but I like Grover Cleveland so much that I'm giving you twelve points just for saying his name (and nobody else try this, I'm only doing it for Max).

Kirk Harlan
I claim a moral victory as I was distracted by our discussion of FDR.
39 minutes ago ·

Matthew Rozsa
OK, Kirk does have a point, we WERE engaged in a political discussion about FDR, and it cannot be denied that I am a very distracting conversationalist. He is awared half the points (32.5) as compensation.

Daniel Drago
You can award him all the points, lol. I just got lucky and saw it first.

That's very generous of you, Dan, but rules are rules. You saw it first, you typed it first, and thus the points are yours.
