nothing deep today, just a few thoughts about apprentice

I was watching the apprentice the other day, and yes, Lee is a politician. My friends told me, and now I finally agree.

The task was selling Outback Steak House meat at a Rutger's University football game. It seemed like Gold Rush would whoop Synergy. They had the cheerleaders, the people, the activities... But they didn't sell.
